MB&F Drops An All New Icy Blue LM Perpetual EVO
MB&F has just dropped an all new icy blue dial-plate in the same highly-resistant titanium case, replacing its green predecessor.
The LM Perpetual EVO was initially launched in three limited editions in zirconium, followed by a titanium edition with green CVD dial-plate. In 2024, MB&F introduces a new icy blue dial-plate in the same highly-resistant titanium case, replacing its green predecessor. All editions feature a closely-fitted, integrated rubber strap for the smoothest wearing experience of any MB&F Machine ever.
Crafted from zirconium or titanium, contemporary metals renowned for surpassing stainless steel in material properties, the 44mm case boasts a profile that accentuates openness and exceptional clarity. Featuring a specially engineered monobloc shock-absorbing system dubbed "FlexRing," this masterpiece from MB&F stands as their most resilient creation yet. Introducing the LM Perpetual Engine, meticulously designed by Stephen McDonnell, an acclaimed perpetual calendar that revolutionizes traditional constructions with its innovative mechanical processor.
Although the 44mm diameter is unchanged from its 2015 iteration, the new EVO case design features a no-bezel construction, with the domed sapphire crystal fused
directly to the case. The increased openness of this design highlights the equilibrium between the legibility of LM Perpetual EVO’s calendar indications and the cinematic
play of the engine components — surmounted by the iconic MB&F hovering balance wheel.
The previously circular pushers for adjusting the perpetual calendar have been enlarged into double-sprung oblong actuators, boosting the tactile comfort and ease
of adjustment. The LM Perpetual EVO is rated at 80m of water resistance, enabled by its screw-down crown. A small, but essential, detail of implementing a screw-down
crown is the débrayage of the winding stem, disengaging the crown from the winding mechanism when it is pushed in and tightened, which eliminates the chance of
manually over-winding the mainspring barrel.
An additional new element of the LM Perpetual EVO is the FlexRing: an annular dampener fitted between case and movement, providing shock protection along the vertical and lateral axes.
