The Mille Miglia GT XL Limited Edition brings the world of racing to the wrist. Housed in a 44 mm stainless steel case, its self-winding chronograph movement is chronometer-certified by the COSC and displays the hours, minutes and date, along with a 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock, small seconds at 9 o'clock and a 30-minute counter at 12 o'clock. Aesthetically, the striking timepiece is equally impressive. With its emblematic red details, the watch subtly evokes Mille Miglia racing cars: pushers inspired by engine pistons, anti-grip surfaces recalling a brake pedal, and a rubber strap suggesting tyre-treads.
The Mariner collection stands out with its typically seafaring symbols such as the compass and rose of the winds which have a prominent place on the dial. The Mariner displays the hours, minutes, seconds and date at 6 o'clock. This collection also features a chronograph version, with a central second and 30-minute counter positioned at 3 o'clock. The sporty spirit of this innovative collection is emphasized by a rubber strap, whereas the hand-stitched alligator strap gives it a more traditional appearance.

The name Pontos has always been a byword for style, attracting individuals who appreciate design and flair. Over the last 20 years, Pontos has subtly evolved, continuously improved and become, unquestionably, an emblematic model for Maurice Lacroix.
A key aspect of the Pontos collection is the design characteristics shared with each model, including since 2016 an enhanced case design delivering improved aesthetics, feel and wearer comfort. The curving lugs feature a stepped profile adding to the allure of the case. The crown protectors fuse with the caseband more harmoniously, extending outwards to the sunbrushed sides of the lugs.
Wherever inquisitive fingers roam, they are greeted with superior tactility. The finish of each element has been upgraded in 2016, conferring a sumptuous feel to each Pontos model. There is an increased interplay of polished and brushed surfaces, heightening the sense of luxury. The double folding clasp with push buttons was a further enhancement, according a superior fit and proffering greater wearer comfort.
