Description

MB&F Legacy Machine Split Escapement EVO Taipei Edition – limited to 20 pieces.

The name ‘Split Escapement’ comes from the creativity of Stephen McDonnell who innovated a balance wheel that would traverse the entire watch from top to bottom. Hence, the suspended balance wheel is visible on the front side of the watch while the anchor and escape wheel are located on the opposite side.

Power is provided by double mainspring barrels, offering a 72-hour power reserve. The movement consists of 298 components and 35 jewels.

The 44mm grade 5 titanium case has been polished and brushed, and features a highly domed sapphire crystal seamlessly integrating with the case due to the absence of a bezel – typical of EVOs. A screw-down crown is provided at 4:30 as well as a pusher at 10 o’clock on the caseband for quick date changes.

The dial consists of a black baseplate and dark green sub-dials. Hands and numerals are treated with Super-LumiNova for enhanced visibility. The hour and minute sub-dial is positioned at 2, the power reserve at 6, and the date at 10 o’clock.

This ingenious timepiece comes with an integrated rubber strap – in a choice of either dark gray or white – to sit comfortably on your wrist, complete with a titainum folding buckle.
