The vast range of applications for this exceptional material include the tooling and automotive industries as well as the medical field. Its use on this truly unique model lends a particularly powerful high-tech aura that perfectly complements the overall stealth- type visual effect based on suggestion rather than overstatement. The distinctive design details combine to convey a decidedly subtle approach in line with the principles of discretion and elusiveness that ensure this model lives up to its name.
The hands of the Masterpiece Seconde Mystérieuse are black gold-toned, while the “mysterious seconds’ disc” is in black and the indications are light grey and black. The off-centered hours and minutes dial is engraved and free of any numerals. All elements, including the case, bezel and dial, are sand-blasted, while the rotor of the automatic winding system equipping calibre ML 215 and visible through the sapphire case-back is also ADLC treated. An engraving on the rotor reads “ONLY WATCH 2013 – PIECE UNIQUE 1/1”.
First off, the watch comes at a very impressive and densely packed attache-style blue Pelican case that has the feeling of a “treasure chest” that’s been found at the base of the ocean after a deep dip under a sunken boat (see pics). Good on ya’ Maurice LaCroix! Once opened, the watch is exhibited in a comfortable center cutout on the heavy duty stainless steel bracelet flanked by a corresponding habit blue calfskin “NATO” strap and black rubber strap, in addition to a custom strap-changing tool. The overall package gives the impression of a watch I would guess could cost a lot more and elegantly reinforces both the seriousness and playfulness of the diving orientation and utility.The first thing that jumps out at you in person–and that jumped out at me when I watched the teaser pics of the watch in the giveaway promotional post would be your blue dial. Not quite an aqua, not quite a navy, and not rather a indigo, the rich blue color of the face is really beguiling, and yet one which I haven’t seen reflected in a watch before. While blue dials could be the rage right now, none I have seen compare to the rich and deeply saturated sea-blue of the Maurice Lacroix Pontos S Diver Blue Devil. It is a color quite befitting of the “Blue Devil” title along with a certain show stopper that generates a whole lot of “I love your watch. What kind of watch is that?” Comments that are always appreciated!
The driving force behind this work of art is calibre ML 215, the twelfth 100% in-house development by Maurice Lacroix, offering a unique and exclusive linear reading of seconds, alternating from a horizontal to a vertical axis every 15 seconds. To mark the birth of this innovative movement, Maurice Lacroix Men’s Watch Ebay Replica naturally wished to create a setting that did it full justice. The result is a stunningly finished and perfectly balanced 43mm case, with a skeletonized face revealing the movement’s intricacies topped by the offset hours and minutes dial.
