Maurice Lacroix Eliros

Purist Perfection

Since their introduction in 2006, the watches of the Eliros collection have earned an exceptionally devoted following. Classically elegant and beautifully understated, their slim profile makes them a pleasure to wear from morning to evening. These modern yet timeless timepieces are defined by subtle details: a slender case, Roman numerals and indices, and finely crafted lancet-shaped hands that point to the hour with quiet authority. Every model in the collection is water-resistant to 5 bar / 500 metres, with case diameters ranging from 30 to 40 mm depending on the reference.

At the heart of each stainless steel case beats a Swiss ETA quartz calibre, ensuring reliable precision day after day. The sunray-brushed dials, available in black, white, green or blue, with select models featuring mother-of-pearl, lend each watch a refined luminosity. The majority of the collection comprises classic dress watches in silver or gold-tone finishes, presented with a three-hand configuration and date display. Among the gentlemen's references, the moonphase complication and chronograph function are perennial favourites.

For those drawn to a warmer aesthetic, PVD gold-plated cases offer an air of quiet opulence. A sportier spirit is captured in the striking black variant, accented with red stitching on the strap and red-tipped hands. The collection pairs beautifully with either a supple leather strap or a stainless steel bracelet, available as a link bracelet or a refined Milanese mesh. Entry into the Eliros world begins at approximately €500, making Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship genuinely accessible.

Maurice Lacroix Eliros Three-Hand Models

The three-hand references form the backbone of the Eliros collection, the majority featuring a date aperture positioned at 3 o'clock. Available in sizes between 30 and 40 mm, the ladies' and gentlemen's models are crafted in stainless steel, with selected references finished in rose gold PVD. Roman numerals mark the quarter hours at 3, 6, 9 and 12, while the Maurice Lacroix signature sits elegantly at 12 o'clock. The dials of the date references come in black, white, anthracite or blue. Leather strap models offer a choice of black, brown or blue, each subtly embossed with the brand's logo, a refined finishing touch that rewards a closer look.

The 30 mm ladies' model makes an immediate impression with its rose gold-tone case and matching gilded bracelet. Its most captivating feature, however, is the constellation of eight diamonds totalling 0.04 carats, set in place of the traditional indices on the dial. A particularly sought-after reference in the ladies' range is the EL 1094 PVP 011501, an exquisite piece available for under €800, representing exceptional value for a diamond-set Swiss timepiece.

Maurice Lacroix Eliros Chronograph

Every chronograph in the Eliros line is presented in a 40 mm case, sharing the same design DNA as the three-hand models. The principal distinction lies in the arrangement of the sub-dials. On the date references, the calendar window sits at 3 o'clock; on the chronograph, this position is reserved for the small seconds, with the date relocated to 4:30. The 12-hour counter is positioned above 6 o'clock, while the 30-minute counter occupies the subdial at 9. The sporting black-coated variant, complete with a black leather strap and bold red accents on both the dial and strap, is available for around €850.

Maurice Lacroix Eliros Moonphase

Alongside the chronograph, the moonphase complication is among the most coveted references in the Eliros collection. The 40 mm case strikes a confident yet elegant balance, substantial enough to make a statement, refined enough never to overpower. The moonphase display graces the upper half of the dial, while the date and brand signature are composed in the lower register, with the date conveniently read at 6 o'clock. The moonphase models are available with or without a gold-tone case, with prices starting from €600.

The unisex moonphase references measure 35 mm and carry a discreet lunar display in the lower half of the dial, with the date window at the traditional 3 o'clock position. Select models feature sumptuous mother-of-pearl dials, and certain references are further elevated with diamond-set indices, or a diamond-set bezel carrying between 64 and 72 stones totalling 0.39 carats. Diamond-bezel models are available from €1,800, while those featuring diamond indices can be acquired for less than half that price.
