The Watch

The Maurice Lacroix Aikon-ic Frozen Carbon Deep Forest is a bold creation from the brand, merging contemporary design with advanced watchmaking functionality. The choice of titanium with a black DLC coating gives the case an impressive lightness while ensuring exceptional resistance to shocks and scratches. With a diameter of 43 mm and a thickness of 11 mm, this case sets the watch apart through its robustness and commanding presence. Combined with its sapphire crystal caseback - which offers a captivating view of the movement - it perfectly embodies the union of aesthetics and technical mastery. The DLC treatment applied to the titanium delivers a matte black finish that pairs beautifully with the green ceramic components. Limited to 500 pieces, this watch earns its place among collector's items, coveted by enthusiasts of technical complexity and avant-garde design.

The Dial

The dial of this watch is a genuine feat of both technical and aesthetic craft. Made in Frozen Carbon, it employs an innovative technique in which carbon fibers are embedded in a green epoxy resin, creating a deeply unique frosted visual effect. Each dial is one of a kind, thanks to the random distribution of fibers that reflects light dynamically, producing unique interplays of light from every angle. Anthracite indexes lend a discreet elegance, complemented by sandblasted hands with Super-LumiNova treatment that illuminate the dial even in low-light conditions. The date window at 3 o'clock integrates seamlessly, perfect for everyday use while preserving the elegant minimalism of the piece.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch beats the Swiss automatic caliber ML1000, renowned for its precision regulated to ± 4 seconds per day. Equipped with 26 jewels and a power reserve of 60 hours, this movement is a masterpiece of technical concentration. The Côtes de Genève and perlage subtly decorate the mechanism, visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, while the skeletonized rotor showcases meticulous attention to every detail. Its oscillation frequency of 28,800 A/h (4 Hz) ensures a harmonious sweep of the hands, reflecting the finest Swiss precision.

The Strap

The strap of this watch is both robust and elegant, offering unmatched comfort. Crafted in black rubber with a green textured nylon-effect insert, it is elevated by green stitching that adds a contemporary, sporty touch. The strap fastens with a pin buckle, ensuring a secure hold in any situation. Maurice Lacroix's ML Easy Change system makes swapping straps effortless, allowing the watch to be personalized with ease for any occasion.

Water Resistance

This watch is a true everyday companion, even in aquatic environments, thanks to its 10 ATM water resistance - equivalent to 100 meters. This feature makes it an ideal watch for nautical and day-to-day activities. The screwed caseback, reinforced with a high-performance gasket, guarantees its water resistance. This level of protection reflects the exacting standards of Maurice Lacroix engineers in crafting exceptional timepieces, built to meet the challenges of daily life while embodying unparalleled sophistication.
