During the development of the latest PONTOS S Diver, Maurice Lacroix sought input from Lidija Lijic, the exceptional ML Crew member and world champion freediver. Lidija's endeavors take her from exploring warm seas to diving beneath the ice in the Himalayas, exemplifying courage and an unwavering commitment to arduous training. Her experiences highlight the importance of mental strength in pushing the boundaries of human potential. Freediving, with its inherent risks, demands tremendous composure, concentration, and confidence.
Stéphane Waser, Managing Director of Maurice Lacroix, comments, "In the development of the latest PONTOS S Diver, we were determined to retain the essence of the first generation while pushing the boundaries of performance with various enhancements. As an ML Crew member, it was only logical to involve Lidija Lijic in testing the new model, fully exploring its capabilities in the depths of the ocean. Witnessing her achievements and immense talent firsthand, I was struck by her unwavering dedication, not just to her sport but to everything she pursues. She proved to be the perfect test pilot for this remarkable diver's watch, boasting a water resistance of 30 ATM. Lidija also attests to the watch's powerful statement on dry land!"

Encased within a 42mm case, the PONTOS S Diver is available in stainless steel or, for the first time, bronze. The hour and minute hands feature facets and are adorned with Super-LumiNova, while the minute hand boasts a colored border. Applied indexes, also lined with luminescent treatment, mark the hours, and subtle improvements to the original dial design enhance the clarity and prominence of the indexes and minute markings. Additionally, the date display is framed with a raised border, ensuring its prominence on the dial. Every detail is meticulously optimized to deliver unparalleled readability.
Conveniently positioned at 2 o'clock, a dedicated crown allows the wearer to adjust the internal rotating bezel, featuring a count-up scale to measure elapsed time underwater. The watch also features a center seconds hand and a date display at 6 o'clock. A second crown at 3 o'clock adjusts various indications and allows manual winding of the movement.
