The Watch

Maurice Lacroix is a renowned Swiss brand crafting high-quality watches through exceptional expertise and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Founded in 1975 in Saignelégier, the company quickly made its mark in the watchmaking industry with elegant, sophisticated designs and outstanding build quality. It offers a wide range of collections - from classic, timeless timepieces to quartz automatics - suited to every taste and occasion. Over the years, Maurice Lacroix has developed sophisticated in-house movements to push precision and performance even further. It embodies Swiss watchmaking excellence, blending tradition, innovation, and style to produce watches where function and aesthetics meet with exceptional precision. From the Aikon collection comes this stunning Automatic Bronze watch - built for deep-sea diving adventures. Crafted as a limited edition and designed specifically for men, its round case is made from brown bronze with a bold design and brushed and polished finishes for added sophistication. The case measures 42 mm in diameter and 11 mm thick - ideal proportions for men's wrists. A flat sapphire crystal crowns the case, protecting the dial from shocks and scratches, and features a double anti-reflective coating for optimal legibility. At 3 o'clock, a screw-down crown allows smooth adjustment of the hands and date window. Finally, the caseback is screw-secured and features a sapphire crystal window offering a beautiful view of the movement - guaranteeing water resistance of 20 ATM, or 200 meters.

The Dial

This timepiece features a stunning smoked brown dial for a refined, elegant effect, enhanced by a clous de Paris finish that adds a distinguished touch. At the center, two rose gold-plated sword hands indicate the hours and minutes. Both the hands and the indices they sweep are coated with white SuperLuminova for excellent legibility even in low-light conditions. Time reading is further enhanced by a minute track running along the dial's perimeter and a slender seconds hand. The date is displayed through an aperture positioned at 3 o'clock. The brand's signature appears at 12 o'clock, and the movement's name at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch's case beats a Swiss-made automatic movement - specifically the calibre ML115, manufactured in-house by the brand. Built on the Sellita SW200-1 base, it reliably powers all watch functions, beats at a frequency of 28,800 vph, and delivers a 38-hour power reserve. It incorporates 26 jewels to minimize friction.

The Bracelet

This elegant strap is crafted from brown bovine leather, designed to complement men's wrists with its clean, vintage-inspired look. The brand's logo is embossed on the lower strap as a mark of authenticity. It fastens with a bronze pin buckle that is easy to adjust.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance up to 20 atmospheres, or 200 meters. A watch built for serious aquatic adventures - including freediving! Not afraid of water, you can also use high-pressure washers with this timepiece on your wrist without a second thought. 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. Be sure not to operate the crown while submerged, to preserve the integrity of the mechanism.
