Featuring a very rare, a very interesting and one of a kind timepiece, the MB&F Legacy Machine Split Escapement Evo – an MB&F machine for active lifestyle – offering 72 hour power reserve housed inside a sturdy grade 5 Titanium, an annular dampener fitted between case and movement, providing shock protection along the vertical and lateral axes and the water resistance of 80m with a screw-down crown, showcasing a spectacular sky-blue dial to display hour, minutes, date and power reserve.
In addition to the EVO case, The LM Split Escapement EVO features a change that radically modifies the design of the LM Split Escapement: the entire mechanism is rotated clockwise by 30 degrees, with the crown at 4:30 instead of 2 o’clock – completely changing the symmetry of the watch, giving it a totally new character.
Another feature is the special darkened treatment on the movement side, creating heightened contrast between the wheels, the rhodium-plated barrels and the rose gold details – symbolically echoing the contrast between the active, contemporary nature of the EVO collection and the traditional finishing of the movement. MB&F is one of only a handful of artisanal brands that continue to finish components painstakingly by hand, making the view of the movement as mesmerizing as the dial.
The LM Split Escapement EVO is not a watch for sports, it is a watch for life.
The watch is offered in Mint condition as comes as full set with factory boxes and papers, dated 2024, with the balance of official MB&F warranty until 2026.
