Just like every Pontos Chronographe, this ingeniously designed timepiece is crafted with enduring materials and top notch components that carefully executed with such precision craftsmanship to ensure that its beauty, as well as all of its sophisticated functionality would remain as is for years to come. Furthermore, not only good looking and sturdy with a robust Swiss construction, the watch is also comfortable to wear, too, and it is water resistant to 50 meters for practical sake.
For gent’s average wrist, this Maurice Lacroix PT6188-SS001-130 is considerably a large size, which just like its other steel on leather variants, has an overall weighs of around 122 grams. Its nicely sculpted round case that is made of premium grade stainless steel and finished in fine brush and high polish has a diameter of 43mm and approximately 15.7mm thick. Meanwhile, its rich looking Black bracelet that is made of genuine alligator leather and comes equipped with a deployant buckle clasp with twin push-button safety is tapers from 21 mm to 17 mm wide.

Upfront, the sapphire crystal that shields this ML premium timepiece’s face is domed, has a better scratch resistance compared to that one at the caseback, and is further enhanced with an anti-reflective coating. The dial itself is such a pleasure as well. It comes with a bright Silver grained White background that nicely fashioned with a well balanced layout in contemporary style, and has an appreciable read-ability regardless day or night.

Speaking of the movement, the caliber ML112 housed by this chronograph automatic watch is not particularly an exclusive (manufacture) movement. This cams integrated chronograph is an ETA 7750 based, which is personalized by Maurice Lacroix to comply with their own preference --which mostly, aesthetic. Typical to Valjoux 7750 based caliber, the ML-112 is “fairly loud”, and this 25 jewels movement is winding at a single direction. This calibre 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 steel on Black leather Silver dial Maurice Lacroix Pontos Chronographe PT6188-SS001-130 "three hands, date" chronograph automatic watch is reasonably offered at an original manufacturer suggested retail price of $4,200.00.
