About the Maurice de Mauriac CHRONO MODERN “NORTH CAPE” MDM.330.ST.42.

Maurice de Mauriac built his success on these watches. They are the classics and can therefore forever be called “Chrono Modern”. The watch developed by Daniel Dreifuss with the 051015 dial gives the watch and its owner a subtle dynamism. The dimensions of these watches and their clear edges leave no doubt - a “Chrono Modern” always adorns a strong arm. No matter whether on water, on land or in the air. You will love her like she will love you.

MDM was timekeeper of the E30 to North Cape Expedition.

The Cook travel agency sent the first tourists to the North Cape from London in 1875. The first post office opened there in 1898 and facilitated a casual tradition with its champagne counter - because when you arrive in the North Cape, you drink champagne. In 2023 a team will drive to the North Cape with a BMW E30. And with this Maurice de Mauriac! Check out this cool back! And these colors! 

Highlights

• Swiss Valjoux movement ETA 7750
• 316L stainless steel case satin finish
• Ø 42 mm | transparent bottom - Lug to Lug 50mm
• screwed crown, screwed pushers
• White rubber and blue textile strap
• 100 meters water resistant

The pushers are the direct contact between the clockwork and the person. The stop function can be started, ended and reset. To prevent these functions from being triggered accidentally, we offer screw-in crowns. Before use, you must first unlock the crown and secure it again after use.

In our see-through cases, a blue anti-reflective sapphire crystal provides a view of the pulsating caliber. You have the feeling that you can see and feel the soul of the mechanical automatic movement. The watch is alive. Together with a labeled rotor, every watch becomes a highly emotional gift. Even to yourself.

After being taken over by ETA, the former Valjoux 7750 is called caliber ETA 7750. It is probably the most successful automatic chronograph movement of all time. This caliber is characterized by high accuracy and great robustness. It has 25 jewels, the rotor has ball bearings and is wound on one side. The 7750 has a 1/8-second counter, a 30-minute counter, a 12-hour counter, 28,800 vibrations per hour and a power reserve of approximately 44 hours. Loss of accuracy of 1 to 6 seconds per day. Revisions are recommended every 3 to 8 years.

Not all stainless steel is the same. We use 316L stainless steel, one of the hardest stainless steels in the world. In addition to its hardness and durability, this stainless steel is also characterized by a very fine silver tone when given the appropriate finish. The nickel emissions from 316 L stainless steel are significantly lower than, for example, from 904 L stainless steel, which is also high-strength. For us, this is a reason to prefer 316 L stainless steel.

Superluminova is a phosphorescent luminescent material and free of radioactive additives. Superluminova is a hundred times brighter than other inactive luminous pigments. If the luminous pigments have been stimulated by daylight or artificial light, they release the light energy they have absorbed over several hours in the dark. This makes the watch extremely easy to read, even in the dark.

My conclusion:

"I already tested the titanium version. This is another version of the CHRONO MODERN. Here with a diameter of 42 millimeters. Behind the large glazed caseback is ETA's legendary Valjoux 7750, perhaps the most successful chronograph movement of all time in a TOP version! Even more superlatives round off the excellent overall impression of this collab watch, which is already entering the luxury segment. A clear purchase recommendation from me!"
