Swiss watch brand Maurice Lacroix presents new Technicolour editions of its Aikon Master Grand Date model.

This new Maurice Lacroix summer edition unites the Swiss brand’s proven blend of watchmaking know-how and urban-style with vibrant shades.

Dressed in a 45mm black DLC stainless steel case, each Aikon Master Grand Date Technicolour watch features an off-centre dial with the ‘Clous de Paris’ pattern. Each dial features black, facetted hour and minute hands, coated with Super-LumiNova. The watch also features a small seconds display below the off-centre dial. The tip of the small seconds hand is highlighted in red for enhancing the readability.

This latest model is available in a choice of four new dial colours: blue, green, orange and yellow. Each version is limited to just 50 pieces. Some elements of this latest model stay true to the design of the AIKON Master Grand Date Black, such as the visible balance wheel and the open-worked small seconds display.

The eponymous Grand Date function employs a complex mechanism and two date discs to deliver a highly legible large-format date indication. In this new model, the numerals indicating the date appear in blue, green, orange or yellow color, depending upon the version.

Visible through the sapphire crystal case-back is the Manufacture ML331 automatic calibre with a power reserve of 50 hours. To enhance the aesthetic appeal, the movement parts feature black DLC surface coatng in vertical, sun-brush or sand-blasted finish.

Consistent with other members of the AIKON collection, the case comes with an integrated strap system within the housing, improving wearer comfort. The watch is supplied with two rubber straps: one matches the dial and the other is in black to complement the case. Both straps feature the ‘Maurice Lacroix’ name, presented in relief, contributing to the model’s contemporary appearance.

The brand is also offering a special packaging exclusive to this new model. Each presentation box is formed of #tide, a composite material made from ocean-bound upcycled plastic. It takes 34 bottles to make one presentation box which means 34 fewer bottles polluting the ocean. The colour of each box matches the chosen dial hue.
