Maurice Lacroix - Aikon Automatic Limited Summer Editions

Maurice Lacroix unveiled the Aikon Automatic Limited Summer Editions, 6 new models offered in three sizes (35, 39, 42) and three hues. Price CHF2,500

Maurice Lacroix has unveiled the Aikon Automatic Limited Summer Editions, six new references offered in three sizes (35, 39, and 42 mm) and three dial colours. Each edition comes with a metal bracelet and an additional rubber strap in a matching hue.

With its distinctive circular bezel featuring six prominent arms and Clous de Paris dial motif, the Aikon Automatic is one of Maurice Lacroix's most popular model, a versatile sport-chic three-hand watch that can effortlessly transition from a bustling city to a sun-kissed beach.

Crafted from stainless steel, each of the three case sizes are endowed with their own unique characteristics. The 35 mm case option is available with a Ballerina Pink dial or a Tanager Turquoise. Both models employ a combination of batons and diamond-set indexes to denote the hours.

The 39 mm Limited Summer Edition is an ideal fit for both male and female wrists. Once again, the hues of Ballerina Pink or Tanager Turquoise infuse the models with a captivating charm that embodies the essence of summer.

For the dials of the 42 mm steel versions, Maurice Lacroix opted for Tanager Turquoise and a vibrant Orange Soda hue. 

Consistent with all Limited Summer Edition models, the Orange Soda dial indicates the hours, minutes, seconds and date, but eschews silver accents in favour of black tones.

In all these references, the Clous de Paris dial motif is presented in a matte execution. This understated refinement beautifully balances the vibrant dial colors, resulting in a truly sophisticated aesthetic.

All Limited Summer Edition models come supplied with a 5-row stainless steel bracelet, seamlessly integrated with the case and equipped with a double folding clasp with double safety push-buttons.

The additional FKM rubber straps incorporating the company’s ‘M’ logo repeat the colours of the dials. Compared to regular rubber, FKM rubber delivers superior flexibility for improved comfort and greater resistance to wear and colour-fading.

As with all Aikon watches, these models feature the brand’s Easy Strap Exchange System, providing a simple, user-friendly means of swapping the strap for the bracelet without the need for tools.

Visible through the transparent sapphire crystal case back, the self-winding ML115 calibre, developed in cooperation with Sellita, one of the largest manufacturers of Swiss mechanical watch movements, beats reliably at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and guarantees a power reserve of 38 hours.

All the new Maurice Lacroix Aikon Automatic Limited Summer Editions are water resistant up to a pressure of 20 ATM (200 metres / 660 feet) and retail at the price of CHF 2,500. Each reference is limited to 888 pieces. mauricelacroix.com
