The Maurice Lacroix caliber ML-76 is a Swiss made manual-wind mechanical watch movement found in the brand’s Masterpiece line. This movement is essentially a reworked – or reimagined – ETA/Unitas caliber 6498-1 with a retrograde date and power reserve indicator.
Retrograde Date:
The Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Calendrier Rétrograde watch featuring the ML76 has a panoramic style retrograde pointer date at 10:00. This calendar complication is presented in a fan-like span starting with the 1st of the month at 8:30 to the 31st at 11:30. Once the last date of the month has passed, the hand will automatically jump back to mark the first day of the new month.
