What to know

Maurice Lacroix’s 2026 Pontos S Solar brings light-powered quartz to its sports-watch collection. The black-dial reference PT1008-SSL22-330-1 pairs a 42mm steel case with a matching bracelet. Its translucent dial allows light to reach the solar system beneath while preserving a conventional three-hand display.

The Ronda 215 solar movement includes a date and delivers up to eight months of autonomy when fully charged, according to the brand. A unidirectional bezel surrounds the dial, and the screw-down crown supports a 200-metre water-resistance rating.

Two-colour luminous material distinguishes the minute hand and first fifteen minutes of the bezel from the other markings. The bracelet version keeps the collection’s practical character, with the brand’s easy-change system allowing strap swaps.
