Lacoste.12.12 Watches
Lacoste.12.12 watches take their cues from the polo shirt, with petit-piqué texture, silicone straps and the crocodile motif on many models.
Monochrome silicone references are the clearest expression, but the family is broader than one colour or one proportion. Different case sizes, three-hand and multifunction displays, polished details and newer mechanical interpretations let the same sporting idea move between playful, minimal and more dressed settings.

The polo translated from fabric into form
Why the numbers matter
The name refers to René Lacoste’s original polo from 1933: L for Lacoste, 1 for petit piqué, 2 for the two short sleeves and 12 for the number of prototypes.
The watch borrows the polo’s finely patterned fabric texture for its dial or silicone strap. A crocodile motif and monochrome colours, from white to blue, black or green, complete the look.
Proportion changes the personality
The 42mm Move 2011242 and 36mm Go 2001288 show how the proportions change. The larger watch gives its colour and texture more space; the smaller one offers a more compact alternative. Check the exact model for functions and water resistance rather than transferring specifications between them.
The wider family includes multifunction and mechanical models. On a pre-owned silicone strap, inspect the keeper, buckle holes and areas against the wrist for wear or colour transfer.
