AIKON Automatic Date 39mm Watch AI6007-SS002-331-1

The Watch

Since its founding in 1975, Maurice Lacroix has established itself as a pillar of fine watchmaking, producing exceptional timepieces with a contemporary edge - and a genuine commitment to preserving Swiss watchmaking tradition and quality. Its AIKON collection is the direct heir to the Calypso, the iconic model that defined the brand's success throughout the 1990s. Refreshed and sharper than ever, it blends a touch of luxury with understated elegance. We present it here through the AIKON AI6007-SS002-331-1, a sport-chic watch crafted from premium materials and finished to the highest standard. Its round case exudes a luxurious aesthetic with dimensions tailored to flatter most men's wrists with presence and charisma. At 39 mm in diameter and 11 mm in thickness, it fits the wrist perfectly. Crafted from high-quality silver-toned stainless steel, it is enhanced by polished and brushed finishes that accentuate its appeal. The bezel design is bold and instantly recognizable, featuring the brand's iconic six double lugs in a polished finish - a detail that sets this watch apart the moment it catches the light. It frames a flat sapphire crystal with a double anti-reflective coating for an optimal view of the dial, along with excellent scratch and damage resistance. The screw-down crown at 3 o'clock features a distinctive hexagonal shape in perfect harmony with the bezel and overall case design. With brushed sides and polished edges, it is stamped with the iconic M logo for added distinction. It allows effortless adjustment of the hours, minutes, and date. The case back is fully brushed, secured by 7 polished screws, and fitted with a transparent window - an anti-reflective sapphire crystal that lets you admire the beautifully finished movement inside. Robust and reliable, this case back ensures water resistance to 20 ATM.

The Dial

This watch features an anthracite grey dial that delivers a crisp, legible read at a glance. A clous de Paris pattern covers most of its surface, adding depth and subtle geometric texture that plays beautifully with light. The dial is neatly framed by a brushed ring marked with a minute track. The hours are indicated by baton indices doubled at 6, 9, and 12 o'clock. Rose gold-plated and treated with white SuperLuminova for clear legibility in low light, they are complemented by rose gold-plated baton hands that underscore the watch's precious appeal. Coated with the same luminescent treatment, they are joined by a rose gold-plated seconds hand for a cohesive, design-forward look. At 3 o'clock, a date window with a rose gold frame and white background adds a practical finishing touch. The inscriptions "Maurice Lacroix" and "Automatic" appear on either side of the dial, signing it off in style.

The Movement

This model is powered by a Swiss-made ML115 automatic movement. It beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and is fitted with 26 jewels. It delivers a power reserve of 38 hours and operates at a precision of -/+7 seconds per day. Straightforward yet highly effective, it provides a three-hand analog display with a date complication.

The Strap

A natural extension of the watch's elegance, the bracelet pairs seamlessly with its distinguished style. Crafted from stainless steel, it features 5 rows of brushed links for a refined, polished look. It measures 23 mm at the lug width and fastens with a butterfly deployant clasp that keeps the watch securely on your wrist. Its quick-change system lets you switch up the look whenever you like.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 20 atmospheres, or 200 meters. It's ready to go wherever your aquatic adventures take you - including freediving. Rain, pressure washers, showers, baths, lap swimming, and freediving are all fair game. For scuba diving with tanks, however, we recommend a timepiece with a higher water-resistance rating. Also, avoid operating the crown or pushers while submerged to protect the movement's integrity.
