MB&F Legacy Machine Split Escapement EVO – UAE Golden Jubilee Limited Edition
This special edition MB&F Legacy Machine Split Escapement EVO model was created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the United Arab Emirates.
The UAE was established on December 2, 1971. In December 2021, Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, the region's leading luxury watch and jewellery retailer, announced over 35 limited-edition timepieces to mark its "50th Anniversary". For this project, MB&F created the LM Split Escapement EVO - UAE Golden Jubilee Limited Edition.

The LM Split Escapement was created in 2017 in collaboration with Irish master watchmaker Stephen McDonnell. This watch stands out with the world's longest balance bar that runs across the entire movement. This innovative design leaves the large balance wheel on the front of the watch and hides the rest of the escapement – the anchor and escape wheel – on the other side of the movement.
The limited edition MB&F LM SE EVO Emirates Jubilee has some design improvements. First, the entire mechanism has been turned 30 degrees clockwise, with the crown at 4:30 instead of 2 o'clock. This completely changes the symmetry of the watch, giving it a whole new personality.
Second, this special edition comes with a new EVO case that offers increased comfort and robustness – so far this case has only been used in the LM Perpetual EVO series.
The EVO case design features a bezel-less construction, with the domed sapphire crystal directly integrated into the titanium case, integrated lugs and strap. Screw-down crown, water-resistant to 80 meters. The movement is suspended on the innovative "FlexRing" system, a specially developed monolithic shock-absorbing mechanism that resists vertical and horizontal shocks.
Finally, for the first time in MB&F history, the dial is a rich salmon color, while the two dark grey subdials – the date and power reserve indicator – have been turned on. Movement-wise, a special dark finish creates a striking contrast between the wheels, rhodium-plated barrel and rose gold details.
The hand-wound 298-component movement uses the same double barrel base as the LM Perpetual, a 72-hour power reserve and a date-change safety system that prevents users from inadvertently damaging the movement when adjusting the date.
