Enhancing the appearance of a classic watch is fraught with risk. The very essence of its ap- peal can be lost with one misplaced change to the design composition. However, Maurice Lacroix embraces a “passion for progress” by continuously seeking to improve its watches.
The latest version of Les Classiques Date fea- tures subtle changes which augment the aes- thetic prowess of this popular model.
Sophistication is granted by the distilled crea- tion of each design element. Seemingly small details, when viewed in isolation, can actually influence the whole appearance of the chosen model when combined.
The new 40mm case diameter is restrained in character exhibiting decorum and avoiding excessive flamboyance. Its size has been se- lected to offer widespread appeal. The stain- less steel case combines polished and brushed surfaces, delivering an eye-catching contrast that accentuates its curving lines.
The bezel design is stepped, producing char- ming areas of light and shade which enhance the luxurious feel of the timepiece. The do- med sapphire crystal features anti-reflective coating, enhancing the legibility of the dial. Housed within the case of Les Classiques Date is the automatic Calibre ML115, recognised for its reliability and performance.
