Maurice Lacroix Milestone 79861

Maurice Lacroix calls the watch "Milestone" – and as an everyday watch for the 90s powerhouse (or the man with a slim wrist), the name is a perfect fit. A 27 mm stainless steel case, a seamlessly integrated link bracelet, and a bezel with striking equestrian elements give the watch a sporty, elegant look without screaming yacht club. The white dial with Roman numerals at 12, 9, and 11 o'clock, as well as a date window at 6 o'clock, is clean but not boring.

Inside, a Swiss quartz movement works: reliable, accurate to the second, and low-maintenance. Just plug in the battery and you're done. The watch has some genuine scratches on the case and bracelet links – classic "desk diver" marks. Nothing deep, nothing that requires polishing – simply the patina of life on the wrist. The clasp and bracelet links fit tightly, and the butterfly clasp clicks into place cleanly.

The bottom line is that it's a solid Swiss-made steel watch with an integrated bracelet, no maintenance hassle, and no flashiness. It's perfect if you're looking for an affordable everyday option that still has character.
