Description
With the AIKONIC Automatic Chronograph Skeleton, Maurice Lacroix unveils a bold new interpretation of the sporting chronograph. Building on the legacy of the AIKON collection, the new AIKONIC collection retains its distinctive design codes while introducing a new dimension of watchmaking expertise—Innovative Craftsmanship (IC).
A Dial that Reveals the Mechanics
The defining feature of this model is its sapphire crystal dial, offering an unobstructed view of the watch's beating heart. Its open-worked architecture showcases the movement's intricate components, creating remarkable depth and a captivating interplay of transparency. Depending on the version, the blue or grey chronograph counters blend seamlessly into the overall design, while rhodium-plated hands and hour markers, enhanced with Super-LumiNova®, ensure outstanding legibility in all lighting conditions.
The AIKONIC Spirit in Every Detail
Housed in a 43 mm stainless steel case with a refined combination of brushed and polished finishes, the AIKONIC Automatic Chronograph Skeleton features a ceramic bezel adorned with the AIKON collection's signature six double claws—a design cue echoed on the ceramic crown. Highly scratch-resistant and impervious to UV-induced fading, the ceramic preserves the watch's flawless appearance over time. An anti-reflective sapphire crystal on both sides provides a crystal-clear view of the dial, while the transparent caseback reveals the meticulous finishing of the automatic movement. Water-resistant to 10 ATM (100 metres), the AIKONIC Automatic Chronograph Skeleton is made for both urban environments and daily activities and throughout everyday adventures.
A Chronograph Designed for Everyday Wear
Powered by the automatic ML212 calibre, this timepiece combines reliability with impressive performance. Offering a 62-hour power reserve, the movement drives the hours, minutes, small seconds and a chronograph featuring a 30-minute counter. Every press of the pushers delivers the satisfying feel of Swiss mechanical engineering, designed to endure and provide an authentic watchmaking experience.
Innovation Meets Versatility
The AIKONIC Automatic Chronograph Skeleton is fitted with a bi-material strap in blue and black rubber or an all-black version, enhanced by a textile-effect insert that reinforces its sporty, contemporary character. Compatible with the new patented ML Easy Change system, the strap can be swapped effortlessly, allowing the watch to adapt seamlessly to any style or occasion.
