The Aikon range from Swiss watchmakers, Maurice Lacroix, has provided us with some of our favorite watches over the years. in recent times, we have been able to see the announcements of the fantastic brand new Aikon Mercury, and the Aikon Venturer too! Both of these new releases have brought us brand new and unique designs to the collection, and the Mercury has brought a completely new movement, which allows the hands to move freely until needed! The next piece we are taking a look at from this popular collection is the new Aikon Chronograph Camo, which offers a style that we have not seen before at all from Maurice Lacroix.
The Aikon Camo has been introduced to offer a piece for those who enjoy an adventure. blending in perfectly with it’s surroundings, this Aikon Chronograph watch is a vital piece of kit for any explorer. The ideal watch for the urban jungle. Created for those who still have the desire to stand out, the colour and form of this piece is sure to help you there. Maurice Lacroix have used the Camouflage design to produce a masculine and modern timepiece, that is completely on trend with the current fashion styles today. The Swiss brand have channeled the aesthetic movement of street-wear, and created a bold and unprecedented statement piece.
This model is set to be a Limited Edition of only 500 pieces, making it even more exclusive and collectible too! This version of the Aikon Chronograph provides us with the same high quality, and reliability that we have come to know and love from Maurice Lacroix. With a 44mm stainless steel case, this will sit comfortably on your wrist, yet still offer an easy to read dial, thanks to its snailed counters and circular brushed rings. A quartz battery powered movement keeps the watch ticking, and it’s 100m water resistance helps you to take on any challenge that you may come across!
The movement itself, provides you with power to hour, minute and date functions, as well as a small seconds a 6 o’clock, as part of the triple dial display. The chrono function is indicated using the central hand, and provides yo with a 30 minute counter at 9 o’clock and a 1/10 counter at 12 o’clock!
