MAURICE LACROIX – AIKON Automatic Chronograph Titanium 44mm 2021
AIKON AUTOMATIC TITANIUM CHRONOGRAPH
ARMOURED, WITHOUT WEIGHING YOU DOWN
Strong and sturdy, titanium is like steel, but more resistant. By applying this technical material to the AIKON Automatic Chronograph, Maurice Lacroix has transcended its flagship collection. The result? A timepiece which is exceptionally weightless and comfortable to wear. Its vibrant colour and intense satin finish make the AIKON Automatic Titanium Chronograph ideal for the discreet, yet daring urban adventurer.
Once again, AIKON is radically changing. This time, Maurice Lacroix is not introducing a new function, complication or style into its emblematic collection. Rather, we are transforming the very materials at its core. After multiple versions in steel, even with a bronze case, Maurice Lacroix is launching the AIKON into a new dimension of performance and resistance.

Rigid and light, dark and scratch- resistant, titanium is entering in the AIKON Automatic collection, with a new version of the AIKON Automatic Chronograph with a grey and blue dial. More than just representing a material evolution, titanium raises the profile of the AIKON Automatic Chronograph. It’s a different kind of style, more technical, more pleasant and exceptionally more seductive.
RESISTANCE
With its 44 mm diameter and natural thickness, the AIKON Automatic Chronograph has a strong and visible presence on the wrist. Matching that of its automatic chronograph calibre, which is water- resistant to 20 Bar, or 200 metres. This design creates the AIKON’s exceptional personality, which expresses itself through the values of modern masculinity, and in the case of its automatic chronograph, through those of urban dynamism.
TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE
Titanium is 50% lighter than steel, a fact which is reflected in the weightlessness of this new version, and in its entirely new feel on the wrist. Titanium also has a darker grey colour, with a more intense matte finish, which enhance its masculine feel even more.

It is also extremely resistant to abrasion, which makes the satin finish, that runs through the entire AIKON Automatic Chronograph Titanium, including the case and bracelet, a true and even more complex work of art and precision. Finally, with a water resistance up to 200 m, this timepiece is also rustproof, the perfect invitation to dive in.
CONTRASTS
Its dark grey colour undoubtedly inspired the choice of a dial in the same chromatic style. The surface is embossed with the iconic squared pattern, typical of the AIKON Automatic Chronograph. It features the emblematic Gunmetal grey colour, sunray-brushed to provide infinite reflections.

In contrast, the minute and chronograph hour counters, together with the small seconds hand, are blue, and enhanced by a polished thread and snailing. Also polished, and in keeping with the AIKON design codes, the six bezel’s arms that punctuate the AIKON dial are a direct reference to the Calypso collection, of which the AIKON represents the contemporary heir.
REASONABLE PRICE
Made of a complex metal with high-performance properties, the AIKON Automatic Titanium Chronograph remains faithful to the brand’s essence and values. While embodying Maurice Lacroix’s ideals and approach to high quality watchmaking, intended for the greatest number of people, the brand still maintains an exceptional price/performance ratio.
