Line History
Motion is one of the more recent collections in the Lacoste watch catalog produced under license by Movado Group, and it is positioned at the sportiest end of the brand's offering: lightweight cases, silicone straps and a minimal design meant to accompany an active everyday use, in direct continuity with the brand's tennis origins.
Compared with the more cross-cutting L.12.12, Motion focuses on a more markedly casual, youthful identity: clean dials with stick indices, fixed bezels and rounded cases, offered in both men's and women's versions with different diameters and colorways. A black dial with a black silicone strap remains the most common combination, alongside lighter variants designed for a female audience.
As with the brand's other lines, the crocodile appears as a recognizable detail on the dial, while the quartz movement and modest materials keep the collection in an accessible price range, consistent with Lacoste's fashion positioning rather than that of technical watchmaking.

Main Executions
The name "Motion" directly evokes physical movement and sport, in keeping with the image of René Lacoste himself: before becoming a clothing brand, the crocodile was the nickname of a tennis player, and collections like this one still claim that link to sporting activity nearly a century later.
