Maurice Lacroix revisits his Pontos S Diver, revamping the dive watch with a new sharper-looking dial featuring bolder indexes and minute markers, improved luminance, and a raised date bezel. In addition, Maurice Lacroix offers a bronze case version, the first for the collection.

The Swiss watch maker released the first-generation Pontos S Diver in 2013 but halted it a few years later as it ramped up production of its hot Aikon collection to meet demand.
With the updated 42mm watch, Maurice Lacroix enhances the dial’s visibility with newly polished hour and minute hands, both luminous with SuperluminNova.
On the minute hand, you will now see a border in a color that contrasts with the dial. The hour markers retain their generous luminescent treatment.
Maurice Lacroix also retains the watch’s useful rotating internal bezel to indicate elapsed time, which is adjusted by a crown at 2 o’clock. A second crown at 3 o’clock is used to adjust the time, date and wind the automatic ML115 movement. All models are water resistant to 300 meters.

Dong is too
As noted, Maurice Lacroix is offering a bronze version of the watch in addition to the steel models. While the regular production steel models are available with black or white lacquered dial options, the bronze model is limited to 500 pieces and paired with a blue-veined dial.
The bronze version comes on two straps, one in dark blue leather and the other in dark blue rubber. Maurice Lacroix offers the steel models three matching straps: one M-branded canvas strap and two rubber straps.
Finally, Maurice Lacroix equips the new Pontos S Diver with the company’s Easy Strap Exchange System, allowing wearers to quickly swap straps without tools.
Price: $2,050 (steel) and $2,600 (dong).
