A founding date, distilled to 33 mm
Created to mark the 50th anniversary of Maurice Lacroix, the 1975 collection reinterprets archival design codes with a contemporary eye. Drawing on the 1988 Les Classiques series, it blends vintage charm with modern expectations of precision, reliability and durability.
The new Maurice Lacroix 1975 Quartz 33 mm translates this retro-modern spirit into a more intimate size for wrists that prefer finesse yet still want presence. Launched in time for Valentine’s Day, it features a polished bezel, curved case lines and balanced proportions that move easily from daily wear to evening occasions, reflecting the brand’s focus on perceived value in materials and finishing.
Feminine interpretation with diamonds and mother-of-pearl
The Maurice Lacroix 1975 Quartz 33 mm is offered with three dials: a silver-toned sun-brushed version with black print, and white or pink mother-of-pearl with cool grey print. On non-gem-set references, faceted lozenge-shaped indexes echo the elongated trapeze form of the dauphine-style hour and minute hands.
A central seconds hand, peripheral minute track and date at 3 o’clock ensure legibility and everyday practicality. For added radiance, gem-set models feature 12 diamonds on the indexes totalling 0.08 carat, or a reference with 60 diamonds (0.67 carat) on the bezel in addition to the diamond hour markers.
All diamonds are certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council, highlighting a commitment to responsible sourcing that will appeal to collectors attentive to provenance and ethics.
Sophistication in every detail
The stainless-steel case measures 33 mm by 8.5 mm and is fitted with a sapphire crystal with neutral anti-reflective coating. Water-resistance of 10 ATM (100 metres) adds reassurance to a watch with a primarily dress-oriented character, while brushed surfaces and polished bevels create a subtle play of light on the wrist.
This attention to detail extends to the five-row metal bracelet designed for the Maurice Lacroix 1975 collection. Satin-finished outer links frame three polished central links, with the two-tone reference adding yellow gold-coloured PVD 2N to the second and fourth rows, as well as to the bezel, hands and indexes for a warmer look.
For a softer aesthetic, the white and pink mother-of-pearl dials can be paired with matching calf leather straps embossed with the updated Maurice Lacroix “M” logo and secured by a pin buckle. All strap options integrate the Maurice Lacroix Easy Strap Exchange system, enabling quick changes from steel to leather or from monochrome to two-tone without tools.
At the heart of the watch, a Swiss quartz Ronda 515 calibre delivers hours, minutes, seconds and date, with a battery life exceeding five years. This low-maintenance movement supports the collection’s positioning as a refined yet practical everyday companion.
