Aikon Automatic Skeleton Watch 39mm AI6007-SS002-030-1

The Watch

For over 40 years, Maurice Lacroix timepieces have earned a singular reputation, driven by the brand's spirit of innovation and the perfectionism of its watchmakers. One of the brand's greatest successes is the Aikon line - reinvented with character, modern flair, and impeccable craftsmanship. Among this collection, we present the Aikon Automatic AI6007-SS002-030-1, a testament to the brand's vision of accessible luxury. Inspired by urban architecture, its design is both refined and captivating. The round case, with a 39 mm diameter and 11 mm thickness, flatters both women's and men's wrists with equal elegance. Crafted in stainless steel, it's lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear. The interplay of brushing and polishing on its surfaces creates a pleasing aesthetic that complements the watch's monochrome grey palette. At 3 o'clock, a brushed crown bearing the embossed "M" logo allows precise setting of hours and minutes. A flat sapphire crystal protects the dial from scratches. The highlight of this model is the transparent caseback that lets you marvel at the movement in action. Secured by screws, it guarantees water resistance of 20 ATM.

The Dial

Beyond its impeccable finish, the dial of this model features a refined and dynamic skeleton design. In grey, it displays twelve applied rhodium-plated indexes, with those at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock doubled for a bold, assertive effect. Filled with luminescence, they make it easy to read the hours at a glance. The two sword-shaped hour and minute hands are also coated with a luminescent layer for clear readability in low light, accompanied by a slender seconds hand. Through the open-worked dial, the barrel spring is clearly visible at 5 o'clock, while the balance wheel appears at 12 o'clock. Decoration is minimal yet captivating - a fine côtes de Genève texture and an eye-catching open-worked base. The whole is framed by a simple minute track running along the grey perimeter marked "Swiss Made." The brand name and movement type are noted at 12 and 6 o'clock respectively.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch beats a Swiss automatic movement based on the Sellita SW200-1. This in-house caliber ML115 runs reliably at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) with 26 jewels. Driving the hands and date display with precision, it offers a 38-hour power reserve and beautiful finishing throughout. The mainplate and rotor are decorated with a côtes de Genève pattern, the bridges feature perlage and sunray finishing - a true pleasure for the eye.

The Bracelet

Maurice Lacroix equips this watch with a stainless steel bracelet featuring a quick-change system that lets you swap it in seconds. Built with a five-link construction, it showcases brushed surfaces and polished bevels. It fastens with a deployment clasp for a secure, comfortable fit on the wrist.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 20 atmospheres, equivalent to 200 meters, this model earns its place as a true dive watch. Our watchmaking experts agree: while it's more than capable for showering, bathing, lap swimming, freediving, and recreational scuba diving, it is not designed for extreme deep-sea diving where pressure would exceed its limits. Professional divers tackling serious depths should look toward models rated 30 ATM and above. We also recommend keeping the pushers and crown clear of the water when submerged to maintain a perfect seal.
