Description

Case Design and Materials
The Maurice Lacroix PONTOS is a masterclass in design, combining luxurious materials and refined finishes. The 42mm bronze case gives the watch a classic yet bold appearance, exuding elegance and timelessness. The case is finished with a brushed texture, enhancing its rugged yet sophisticated look. The watch’s height is 13mm, striking a balance between presence and wearability. The sapphire crystal on the front features a double anti-reflective coating, ensuring clear visibility even in direct light while protecting against scratches. The case back is engraved with a unique design, adding a personal touch to this premium timepiece. Additionally, the unidirectional rotating bezel is designed for functionality and ease of use, particularly for diving or timing purposes. The screwed crown ensures that the watch is securely sealed, contributing to its water resistance of 30 ATM (300 meters), making it suitable for deep-water exploration.

Dial & Hands
The black lacquered dial provides a striking contrast to the vintage-inspired elements of the watch. The indexes are coated with vintage beige Super-Luminova, which gives the watch a classic, retro feel while ensuring legibility in low-light conditions. The yellow gold-plated hands, also filled with vintage beige Super-Luminova, are elegant and provide excellent contrast against the dark dial. The design of the dial is clean, with a date window positioned at 6 o’clock, enhancing the watch’s practicality.

Movement & Functions
The Maurice Lacroix PONTOS is powered by the automatic ML115 movement, a high-quality caliber designed for precision and reliability. The watch offers the following functions:
Hours, minutes, and seconds
Date display at 6 o’clock
The automatic movement ensures that the watch winds itself as it is worn, while the 38-hour power reserve provides ample time between wears. With a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (vph), the ML115 movement delivers smooth and consistent timekeeping. The watch features 26 jewels to reduce friction and enhance the longevity of the movement.

Strap and Buckle
The brown leather strap is an elegant complement to the bronze case, adding warmth and sophistication to the overall design. The strap width is 22mm, making it suitable for various wrist sizes. The pin buckle is made of bronze, matching the material of the case for a cohesive and refined look. However, the easy-change system is not available with this model, meaning the strap must be changed manually if desired.

Craftsmanship and Design Philosophy
Maurice Lacroix has created a timepiece that blends elegance, sophistication, and performance in the PONTOS. The watch represents the brand’s dedication to continuous improvement, using luxurious materials such as bronze and vintage-style detailing for a truly unique and accessible luxury experience. The PONTOS stands as an exemplar of understated luxury, suitable for those who appreciate refined design, mechanical precision, and durability.
