The “FC Barcelona Official Watch Partner”, Maurice Lacroix, honors one of the world’s most prestigious football clubs with six new timepieces.

Maurice Lacroix has recently announced a three-year partnership with FC Barcelona, as the “FC Barcelona Official Watch Partner.” In the words of the brand, this innovative partnership is a landmark in the history of Maurice Lacroix, and a fantastic opportunity to honor one of the world’s most prestigious football clubs with a new series of watches. There are six new Maurice Lacroix timepieces belonging to the new FC Barcelona Official Watch Partnership. Each of them is adorned with the FC Barcelona Crest, which represents core values of both partners: Ambition, Quality and Precision. The new FC Barcelona collection comprises four models: a reasonably priced Eliros Date, the stylish and modern Eliros Chronographe, the sporty Pontos S, and the most luxurious FC Barcelona Masterpiece Squelette.

Maurice Lacroix FC Barcelona Eliros Date

Maurice Lacroix FC Barcelona Eliros Date is the purest and the simplest of four new models. This classic watch comes with a 38mm stainless steel case, with a clean, reduced dial with simple indexes and elongated Roman numerals. This unpretentious three-hander features a practical date display at 3 o’clock position. The FC Barcelona edition of the Eliros Date model is adorned with a distinctive multicolor FCB insignia on the dial, and with the same motif engraved on the monoblock case-back. It is available in a choice of silver-colored or black dials, and with a choice of metal bracelet with double security clasp or NATO strap in matching FCB colors. Water resistant to 50 meters.

Maurice Lacroix FC Barcelona Eliros Chronographe

Maurice Lacroix FC Barcelona Eliros Chronographe is, in aesthetic terms, very similar to the basic Eliros Date model. However, the Chronographe is a bit larger as it measures 40mm in diameter. Its balanced and highly legible dial features a large date display at 12 o’clock, and integrates the functionality of a chronograph, which allows the wearer to measure elapsed time.

Maurice Lacroix FC Barcelona Pontos S

Maurice Lacroix FC Barcelona Pontos S is a sporty diver’s chronograph decorated with the famous football club’s insignia. The FCB Pontos S comes in a new 43mm stainless steel case, which is decorated with the distinctive FCB logo on the case back and case band. The FCB Pontos S is available with a distinctive masculine blue dial, but it offers a choice of two straps that come with every piece. This sporty diver is ideal for recreational divers, as it offers around 200 meters of water resistance. It features a winding crown and two push pieces, shaped to ensure a better grip, and an internal bezel ring for tracking dive time.

Maurice Lacroix FC Barcelona Masterpiece Squelette

Finally, the collection includes the high-end piece Maurice Lacroix FC Barcelona Masterpiece Squelette, which is delivered in a 43mm stainless steel case, coated with dark black PVD. The watch features a completely deconstructed dial, which reveals the hand-wound movement, and a metallized FC Barcelona logo applied on the sapphire case-back. The rhodiumed skeleton movement is completely revealed, and provides a nice contrasting backdrop for the black hands, black-coated bridges, and matching genuine leather strap.
