Lacoste 12.12 2010948 Watch

As anniversaries go, number 85 is the stuff of legends. In fact, it is so mythical that there is no official symbol or gift for an 85^th anniversary. So, what was powerhouse brand, Lacoste, supposed to do when it reached its 85^th anniversary? As it happens, it did away with symbolic gifts and gave us all something that we can really use: the chance to buy this special edition Lacoste 12.12 watch!

The Lacoste 85^th anniversary chronograph watch celebrates the brand’s incredible history by bringing exceptional features to the table. These start with the genuine leather strap, which is embossed with an interesting, textured pattern. This connects to the stainless-steel case which, like the strap, is a deep blue. The case houses an excellently-designed dial, also in navy blue, which has 3 subdials for the 60-second stopwatch as well as the Lacoste crocodile on it. 

Inside the housing is a very efficient Japanese Quartz movement, ensuring ultra-precise timekeeping. And, to make sure that the mechanics never fall victim to the weather or unwelcome splashes of moisture, this watch is water-resistant up to 50 metres.

If you’re looking for a watch that beautifully captures the incredible legacy of Lacoste, you need the 85^th Anniversary Edition Lacoste 12.12 2010948 watch!
