Maurice Lacroix - Pontos S DIVER
















Here's a sneak preview of Maurice Lacroix's latest divers model. 


The new Pontos S DIVER has a water-resistance of 200m. Its 43mm case is equipped with an internal divers bezel, which is operable via the crown / Chrono pusher at 2 o'clock - combining both operations - not too dissimilar to the previous generation of Aquatimer Chronos.







































The watch is powered by the ML112 caliber based on the Valjoux 7750. Two color options are available; black 'n' orange or black 'n' blue. The watches are seen here teamed with matching NATO straps, but are also available with an Ss bracelet. A VERY attractive diver!







































For reference (below) the 200m Maurice Lecroix Miros DIVER from a few years back. It was made as a three hands or a Chrono.
