This superb Maurice Lacroix 1975 Master Grand Date Retrograde brings together the distinctive mechanical character of the Masterpiece collection with exclusive details conceived especially for this one-of-a-kind creation in support of ELA. Its transparent architecture reveals the beauty of the Manufacture ML302 movement, while subtle pink accents throughout the watch create a strong visual signature and celebrate its special connection with ELA.
The 42 mm. stainless steel case combines brushed and polished surfaces, creating subtle contrasts that highlight its elegant proportions. The sapphire crystal enhances the sense of depth, offering an impressive view of the transparent dial and movement beneath.
The open caseback features a sapphire crystal specially adorned with pink printing and the ELA logo, an exclusive detail that further underlines the unique nature of this timepiece.
The dial brings together two of Maurice Lacroix’s emblematic complications. The prominent Grand Date display at 12 o’clock provides an immediate visual signature, while the retrograde day indication at 6 o’clock adds mechanical animation and character to the dial.
At the heart of the timepiece beats the automatic Manufacture ML302 calibre, conceived to combine the Grand Date and retrograde display in a distinctive mechanical composition. Visible through both the sapphire dial and open caseback, the movement is not only the technical heart of the watch but also an integral part of its aesthetic identity.
