Case Design and Materials
The Maurice Lacroix AIKON Chronograph showcases a sophisticated design that draws inspiration from the iconic Calypso of the 90s, combining bold urban styling with Swiss craftsmanship. The watch features a 42mm case diameter made from two-tone stainless steel and yellow gold PVD-plated material, which creates a luxurious yet contemporary look. The brushed and polished finish enhances the case’s elegant appearance while offering durability. With a height of 11mm, the case maintains a balanced and comfortable profile for daily wear. The sapphire crystal with a double anti-reflective coating ensures clarity and scratch resistance, contributing to the watch’s overall premium feel. The case is also designed with an eye-catching bezel featuring six distinct claws, further elevating the urban aesthetic. The screwed crown ensures a secure fit, while the watch’s water resistance of 10 ATM (100 meters) allows it to withstand light swimming and everyday water exposure.

Dial & Hands
The white dial of the AIKON Chronograph is simple yet refined, offering a clean backdrop for its bold features.

The white Super-Luminova coating on the hands ensures legibility in low-light conditions, making the watch practical as well as stylish.
