Just like every ML’s premium timepieces, this masculine wrist accessory is crafted with enduring materials and quality components for longevity. Its sturdy round case is made of an extra durable titanium, which covered with sapphire crystal on both sides to makes its construction even tougher. The built quality as well as its finishing are superb as expected, while the whole watch is also watertight to 50 meters to makes it even more practical to wear.
Compared to the steel on steel bracelet or leather strap version of Pontos Chronographe’s variants, this titanium on rubber Maurice Lacoix PT6188-TT031-330 watch is lighter with an overall weight at nearly a hundred grams. But, that doesn’t means that it is also "lighter" in terms of quality and comfort. Having the same nicely sculpted 15.7mm thick case, the watch does fit nicely on the wrist, while its supple yet supportive Black rubber bracelet that tapers from 21mm to 17.85mm wide and comes equipped with pin and buckle clasp in titanium offers a decent counter balance for the weight, ensuring that the timepiece would remains soundly on the wrist during your whole daily activities.

Unlike the flat one on the back, the sapphire glass that covers this watch’s face is domed, has a better scratch resistance, and is further enhanced with an anti-glare coating. The dial itself if gorgeous, too. Sharp looking with Black (or you may say, very dark grey) background, and fashioned in contemporary design that offers a handsome balance of style and read-ability.

Just a little not for the luminescent, despite of seem to have an orange foncé color, those luminous materials are “BGW9” SuperLuminova which shine in Blue lume in the dark. For those who are no in the know, it is quite common for SuperLuminova to have a "body color" that differ from their "emission-color".
Speaking of the movement, the caliber ML112 housed by this chronograph automatic watch is an ETA 7750 based. An in-house, but not actually an exclusive (manufacture) movement. It does personalized by Maurice Lacroix to comply with their own preference, which is more likely is aesthetic preference. As one of the unique characteristic of Valjoux 7750 based caliber, the ML-112 is “fairly loud”, and this cams integrated chronograph calibre is winding at a single direction. This self-winding 25 jewels movement is beating at 28,800 alterations per hour, and when fully wound, it provides 46 hours of power reserve. Maurice Lacroix ML112 is not a chronometer grade, and as far as we know, this 13¼ lignes movement is rated to perform in between the elaboré and top grade of the original ETA 7750.
Anyway, for all of its quality offerings, this gent’s titanium on Black rubber Black dial Maurice Lacroix Pontos Chronographe PT6188-TT031-330 "three hands, date" chronograph automatic watch is reasonably offered at an original manufacturer suggested retail price of $4,200.00.
