For this summer, the Aikon family embraces the new Aikon Summer Edition watches. The allure of summer and the call of the beach are perfectly captured in these newly released vibrant and lively watches. These limited edition watches come with a range of dial options and three different sizes with matching rubber straps that exude a summery feel. These watches are the perfect companions for those seeking a captivating wrist presence.
The Aikon Summer Edition watches showcase stainless steel cases that effortlessly combine brushed and polished surfaces, exuding a captivating allure. The case dimensions vary, offering options in 35mm x 10mm, 39mm x 11mm, and 42mm x 11mm. Adorning the case is the signature round bezel with six prominent “arms,” showcasing Maurice Lacroix’s commitment to distinctive design elements. With sapphire crystals gracing the front and caseback, these timepieces not only enchant with their aesthetic appeal but also ensure durability and protection. The screw-down crown further enhances their functionality, while the 200m water resistance ensures peace of mind during summery aquatic escapades.
The dial of each Maurice Lacroix Aikon Summer Edition watch features a captivating Clous de Paris pattern in vibrant shades of pink, turquoise, and orange. Applied silver-colored markers and hands, complemented by Super-LumiNova for enhanced legibility, grace the dials.
The 35mm variant takes luxury to another level with diamond hour markers that add a touch of elegance and sophistication. At 3 o’clock, a thoughtfully placed date window adds practicality and convenience to these timepieces.
Powering the Aikon Summer Edition watches is the 26 jewels ML115 automatic calibre, based on the reliable Sellita SW200-1 movement. Measuring 26.5mm x 4.6mm, it offers a power reserve of 38 hours and operates at a frequency of 4Hz.
Each watch comes with a matching rubber strap that perfectly complements the dial colors, providing enhanced wearer comfort and a casual, summery vibe. Additionally, a 5-row stainless steel bracelet is included, equipped with a folding buckle and the brand’s innovative Easy Strap Exchange System, allowing for seamless transitions between the rubber strap and bracelet without the need for tools.
Limited to only 888 pieces each, the 39mm and 42mm Aikon Automatic Summer Edition references are priced at EUR 2,550, while the smaller 35mm variant with diamond-set indices is priced at EUR 2,600, including taxes.
