The Watch

Maurice Lacroix is a benchmark name in Swiss watchmaking, blending traditional expertise with innovation. Since its founding in 1975, the brand has established itself as an exceptional creator of high-quality timepieces that marry mechanical precision with refined design. Every model is a meticulously crafted work of art, reflecting the brand's commitment to excellence and horological innovation. Today, Maurice Lacroix invites you to discover the Automatic Titanium Grey watch AI6008-TT032-230-1. This model belongs to the Aikon collection, which embodies modern elegance and robustness with distinctive signature touches. Whether you're a dive watch enthusiast or seeking a refined urban timepiece, this line offers a diverse range of watches while staying true to the house's quality reputation. This watch is crafted in titanium, a material prized for its lightness and strength. With a sandblasted and polished case measuring 42 mm in diameter and 11 mm thick, it commands an elegant presence on the wrist. It is framed by the brand's iconic bezel featuring a distinctive six-lug design, surrounding a sapphire crystal with a double anti-reflective coating for easy reading and dial protection against shocks. The screw-down crown, positioned at 3 o'clock with a ridged finish, makes adjusting the watch a breeze. This watch features a screw-secured caseback ensuring water resistance to 20 ATM, fitted with a transparent sapphire crystal window with an anti-reflective coating that lets you admire the movement's inner workings.

The Dial

This elegant dial delivers accurate and smooth timekeeping at a glance. It features a grey background enhanced by a Clous de Paris finish for a captivating textured effect. The outer edge reveals circular grooves alongside a minutes railroad track. It also displays baton-style indices marking the hours, swept by three grey, rhodium-plated hands anchored at the center. The slim seconds hand counts the elapsed seconds, the long hand tracks the minutes, and the short hand indicates the hours. The latter two are coated with SuperLuminova, also applied to the hour markers. This white coating ensures optimal legibility in low-light conditions. At 3 o'clock, a date window appears with a white background and black Arabic numerals for added functionality. Toward the bottom, the mentions "Titanium" and "Automatic" are inscribed alongside the "Swiss Made" label. Finally, beneath the double noon index, the brand's logo and name are applied as a signature.

The Movement

At the heart of this case beats a robust automatic movement - the in-house caliber ML115 - that drives the hands and date with precision. Its oscillation frequency is 28,800 vph with vibration resistance built in. This Swiss-made Maurice Lacroix mechanism is equipped with 26 jewels to minimize friction and delivers a power reserve of 38 hours.

The Strap

This bracelet features a timeless design that will elevate your look effortlessly. In silver-toned titanium, it showcases wide links held together by thinner links that hug your wrist beautifully. It's lightweight, robust, and effortlessly refined for any occasion. The sandblasted and polished finish gives it a polished, well-groomed appearance, and it fastens easily with a deployant clasp. This elegant bracelet features a lug width of 25 mm and a quick-release system for easy swapping to match your mood.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 20 atmospheres - that's 200 meters. This is a watch that will keep up with you in the deep end. Designed for freediving, it's completely at home in the water - you can even use it with a high-pressure washer. Showering, bathing, lap swimming, and freediving are all fair game. That said, for scuba diving with tanks, 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.
