The Watch

The Maurice Lacroix 1975 Quartz Chronograph Date 40mm watch fuses elegance with performance. Featuring a round case in stainless steel with a dual finish combining brushed matte and polished surfaces, it strikes a look that is both modern and timeless. At 40 mm in diameter and 10 mm thick, this watch suits any wrist size, commanding a strong presence while remaining understated. The press-fit caseback ensures solid construction and seamless aesthetic integration into the overall design.

The Dial

The dial of this watch exudes sophistication with its black hue and sunray finish. This finishing technique allows the dial to capture light in a unique way, creating reflections that enrich the wearer's visual experience. The hour markers are precisely applied for easy time reading at any time of day. The dial is completed by a minute track. The hands are as functional as they are beautiful, adding a modern edge to this harmonious design. At 6 o'clock, a date window subtly complements the clean look of the dial.

The Movement

This watch is powered by a Swiss-made quartz movement by Ronda, specifically the 5040.D caliber. This caliber is renowned for its reliability and precision, delivering flawless performance for hours, minutes, seconds, and chronograph functions. Unmatched in efficiency, it optimizes energy management and promises extended battery life. It supports the model's advanced chronometric functions, measuring time with precision down to 1/10th of a second.

The Strap

The stainless steel bracelet on this watch is a benchmark of comfort and security. Its rice-grain link finish, with alternating brushed and polished segments, gives the bracelet a look that is both robust and refined. The 20 mm width ensures both support and comfort, adapting perfectly to every wrist shape. The folding clasp adds extra security while allowing quick, easy on and off - with no risk of accidental dropping.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance rating of 10 ATM, this watch is built to handle most everyday aquatic environments - including the shower - with a focus on protection and durability. It's well-suited for surface swimming, though it is not recommended for water sports or deep diving. Water resistance is reinforced by the case construction and press-fit caseback, ensuring water cannot penetrate the movement and compromise the function and longevity of this elegant, high-performance Swiss timepiece.
