Watch Aikon Automatic Titanium Purple AI6008-TT032-430-1

The Watch

Maurice Lacroix continues to push the boundaries of watchmaking with collections that blend elegance, technical complexity, and innovative design. Since its founding, the brand has set itself apart through mastery of the art of horological complications, developing high-precision mechanical movements that have cemented its status as a key player in the world of fine watchmaking. Today, the Swiss brand presents this Aikon Automatic Titanium Purple Watch AI6008-TT032-430-1, crafted for men's wrists. The model belongs to the Aikon line, known for its sporty yet urban aesthetic. It features a titanium case prized for its lightness and outstanding durability, with a round shape measuring 42 mm in diameter and 11 mm in thickness, highlighted by a bezel that showcases the iconic lugs. A sapphire crystal sits within the bezel, protecting the dial from impact, and is fitted with a double anti-reflective coating for unrestricted legibility. At 3 o'clock, a screwed crown allows adjustment of the central elements - it is silver-toned with wide grooves for a confident grip. Finally, this timepiece features a screw-secured case back with a transparent anti-reflective sapphire crystal window, ensuring water resistance to 20 ATM while showcasing the movement's oscillations.

The Dial

This colorful dial makes a bold statement on this timepiece. It showcases circular stripes surrounding a purple base with a striking clous de Paris finish that demands attention. At its center, three silver rhodium-plated hands ensure reliable timekeeping. The slender seconds hand tracks the seconds, the long hand the minutes, and the short hand the hours. Together, they sweep over the minute track along the edge and the baton hour markers. These hour indices are coated with a white Superluminova treatment, also applied to the hands, for optimal legibility whenever you need it. At 3 o'clock, a date window sits alongside the "Titanium Automatic" inscription, and above, just beneath the double index at 12 o'clock, the dial is signed with the brand logo and name.

The Movement

This watch is powered by a Maurice Lacroix automatic movement built to resist vibrations - the in-house ML115 caliber, fitted with 26 jewels to minimize friction. It beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and delivers precise timekeeping for both the hands and the date. This Swiss mechanism offers a power reserve of 38 hours.

The Strap

This bracelet combines refined design with everyday wearability. Crafted from titanium - a material celebrated for its strength and lightweight feel - it features a sandblasted and polished finish for a striking two-tone look, with a 25 mm lug width. The wide links alternating with slim links follow the natural contour of your wrist, while their silver tone pairs effortlessly with any outfit. A quick-release system makes swapping straps a breeze, and the deployant clasp ensures a secure, adjustable fit.

Water Resistance

With water resistance of 200 meters - or 20 ATM in the precise language of watchmaking - this timepiece is built for shallow-water diving. It handles showers, baths, sea and pool swimming, and non-professional freediving without breaking a sweat. For professional scuba diving, our Ocarat watchmaking team has handpicked 30 ATM models available in our catalog with a quick search on the site. One final note before we leave you to it: never operate the pushers or crown while in the water!
