The Maurice Lacroix 1975 Master Grand Date Retrograde features two complications: a Grand Date and a retrograde day-of-the-week display. Its open-worked dial ingeniously showcases the three-dimensional architecture and intricate operational details of the movement https://www.repwatcheaprice.is/.
The 42mm stainless steel case measures a mere 12.75mm in thickness. The lugs feature a combination of brushed surfaces and chamfered edges, while the bezel is mirror-polished, creating a striking interplay of light and shadow. The oversized, fluted crown positioned at 3 o'clock offers an exceptional tactile feel for adjustments, while discreet pushers located on the side of the case are used to set the date and day functions. The timepiece offers a water resistance rating of 50 meters, suitable for daily wear.
The open-worked dial provides an unobstructed view of the movement's structure; the mainplate features a micro-blasted, black-coated finish, while five open-worked bridges—finished with rhodium plating and brushing—create a vivid visual contrast. The Grand Date window at 2 o'clock utilizes a dual-disc display, with two highly skeletonized discs revealing the underlying mechanical mechanism. At 6 o'clock, a fan-shaped retrograde day-of-the-week indicator—crafted from transparent sapphire crystal—features a blue hand set against white transfer-printed lettering for the days. The central hour and minute hands are filled with white Super-LumiNova, emitting a green glow in the dark.
The watch is powered by the Calibre ML302 automatic movement, which operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a power reserve of 38 hours. Turning the watch over reveals a skeletonized rotor engraved with the brand's logo and adorned with *Côtes de Genève* (Geneva stripes). The timepiece is fitted with a black calfskin leather strap and carries an official retail price of 6,950 Swiss Francs.
