Lacoste 12.12 2010922 Watch

Are you after a watch that is loaded with mechanical grittiness but that still manages to be stylish and sophisticated? You might think it’s a tall order, but it exists, and it’s called the Lacoste 12.12 2010922.

This watch’s industrial appeal starts at its strap, which has deep blue steel bordering a centre line of textured blue rubber. This connects to the two-tone case, which is a mixture of deep blue and mid-blue, matching the strap. This encases the eye-catching dial, which is plain blue with bold white indices and hands.

The mechanical inspiration of the exterior is matched by the mechanical precision inside the watch, which is powered by a Japanese Quartz movement. And, to be sure that it keeps operating like a well-oiled machine, even in the worst weather, this watch has a 30-metre water-resistance.

For all its robust features, this watch never breaks into full-on chunkiness. It stays refined enough that you can wear it to events that require even the smartest dress-code, but still has its undeniable air of strength. If that’s exactly the watch you’ve been looking for, get your hands on the Lacoste 12.12 today!
