THE TIME IN BLUE
Following a green CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) dial, Friends reveal the fifth opus of their timepiece that can be worn in all conditions.
With its 44-mm titanium case, waterproof to a depth of 80 meters, the Legacy Machine EVO Titanium combines resistance, lightness and biocompatibility. With these advantages, it can accompany you smoothly through your hectic daily life. For this variation, MB&F decorates the dial with a soft ice blue colour that highlights the counters displaying perpetual calendar data. This model keeps the original scenescape with three openworked discs adorned in black, in which a hand points to the date at 9 o’clock, the day at 3 o’clock and the month at 6 o’clock. The hours and minutes are read in the sub-dial offset at 12 o’clock. Two indicators, one for leap years and the other for the power reserve, complete the information. This highly contrasted whole also offers excellent readability. In the center, a large balance fitted with a 14 mm-diameter wheel supported by its arch is as mesmerizing as ever.
This esthetic development retains all the characteristics of the first reference. The bezel has made way for a redesigned sapphire-crystal dome directly welded to the body. For exemplary ergonomics, the pushers, with their slender, rectangular shape, are discretely integrated into the case. To protect the complicated caliber designed by watchmaker Stephen McDonnell and assembled with 581 components, the “FlexRing“ system, made from a single block of steel, absorbs shocks over several axes. The manual wind movement offers a power reserve of 72 hours. Ideal for getting the most out of this exceptional timepiece.
