The Maurice Lacroix Aikon Automatic Bronze is the latest addition to the Aikon series, this time, in a special metal. Bronze indeed. The brand originally launched the Aikon collection in 2016 with a design inspired by the Calypso of the 1990s. Bronze is often a little more special so it is a limited edition of 888 pieces.
Watches commonly come on steel, gold, or titanium; however bronze is durable as well. And over time it gets its own patina. This bronze model has a 42-millimeter case, with a thickness of 11 millimeters. The dial is smoked brown featuring a Clous-de-Paris pattern with a fume gradient. The rose gold-plated hands and indices with white super-luminova form a matching contrast with the dial color. The indexes and logo are from 4N gold, so is the seconds hand, the hour and minute hands are 4N gold PVD.
The Maurice Lacroix Aikon Automatic Bronze has a power reserve of 38 hours
Revealed through its sapphire case back is the automatic Maurice Lacroix caliber ML115. It has an open rotor furnished with the brand’s logo and is a Sellita based movement.
