Maurice Lacroix Pontos S Diver
Story time: My wife bought this for me 6 years ago - and held onto it for a year before giving it to me on my 40th birthday. There were several milestones to commemorate that year - a big birthday, a big promotion, and finally finishing my college degree. I had been lusting after this this Watch for many moons at this point - and was absolutely stunned when I finally saw it in person.
The watch itself is wonderful - it wears a bit big, but iI love the inner rotating bezel (I’ll post a video of this some other time). It came with the NATO and a very overbuilt steel bracelet.
I have a lot of watches, but this is my favorite for many reasons, not the least of which being a reminder of how much my wife means to me.
That’s a good looking watch! I tried looking it up and it looks like it was recently been re-released this year, but I don’t think the new version looks near as good. I’d be interested in seeing the bezel action, I haven’t seen an inner rotating one before.
Thanks!
The reissue from this year is actually for a same style ref from the original series. It’s a “compressor” dive watch - it’s actually pretty cool tech from what I remember.
The “S” series was the chrono, which wasn’t reissued.
heres a video of the rotation!
Ok I got a little mushy at the end there. It’s Friday, and it’s been a long week!
