Here’s another beautiful watch from Maurice Lacroix, called the Masterpiece Tradition Phase de Lune. The watch(es) come in a variety of dial color combinations and bracelet/strap options. These watches are definitely aimed at the traditionalists, with minimalist design and relatively small cases.
…and by relatively small, I mean the case is 40 mm wide, which is a perfect size in my opinion, but a lot of watch manufacturers are still pumping out the gaudy oversized watches that look just ridiculous. I can’t wait for this trend to be over. I’m glad there are still some watches being produced that are aimed at people that appreciate classic watch design and don’t go chasing after “flavor of the month” trends.
Back to the watch, the Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Tradition Phases de Lune watches come with elegantly styled dials housed in stainless steel cases. The dials are simple with Roman numerals on the outer edges, representing the hours, and Arabic numerals on the inner dial, representing the date. The dials come with day and month windows below the 12 o’clock position, and moon phase windows above the 6 o’clock position. The fourth hand points at the date of the month on the center numbered ring.
The watches come with white lacquered dials or guilloche white or black dials. The watches with white lacquered dials come with blue Roman numerals, while the guilloche dials can come with blue, rose gold, or rhodium plated Roman numerals. The watches also come with a choice of stainless steel bracelets, brown calfskin, or black crocodile leather straps.
The Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Tradition Phases de Lune watches feature AR coated sapphire crystal on the front and are water resistant to 50 meters. The watches are powered by ML caliber 367 automatic movements with 38 hours of power reserve. Via: Maurice Lacroix
