Its silver and light blue colour scheme provides a playful contrast; allowing it to stand out and showcase its &#8216;urban&#8217; style. The dial of this watch exhibits a light blue Clous de Paris motif. Rhodium-plated Arabic numerals and hands complement the dial, and for optimal readability, are both coated with white Super-LumiNova. A unique feature of this watch is the date aperture at the 3 o&#8217;clock position. Although it looks like a typical display, the date is shown in its Arabic form. A small but important addition, it embraces the spirit of the Middle East and its fascinating elegance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sapphire crystal glass, with a double anti-reflective coating, protects the dial. Maurice Lacroix&#8217;s eye-catching six-claw bezel frames the dial and adds to the watch&#8217;s distinct urban style. An automatic calibre ML115 movement powers this model; it provides up to 38 hours of power reserve, so is a great option for day-to-day wear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>The Case and Finishing Touches <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/movement-and-finishing-touches-.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/movement-and-finishing-touches--819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-64093\" width=\"280\" height=\"351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/movement-and-finishing-touches--819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/movement-and-finishing-touches--240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/movement-and-finishing-touches--768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/movement-and-finishing-touches--1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/movement-and-finishing-touches--1638x2048.jpg 1638w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/movement-and-finishing-touches--1110x1388.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/movement-and-finishing-touches--930x1163.jpg 930w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/movement-and-finishing-touches--750x938.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/movement-and-finishing-touches--510x638.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/movement-and-finishing-touches--360x450.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/movement-and-finishing-touches--300x375.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/movement-and-finishing-touches--120x150.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Framing the dial is a high-quality stainless steel case. It measures 42mm, so the watch is the perfect size for both men and women. As well as this, the watch boasts an open case back with sapphire glass and a special engraving. Aided by its screw-down crown, this model has a water resistance of up to 200 metres. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The design of the watch is completed with a five-link stainless steel bracelet that is secured using a folding clasp. For an added touch, the centre of the clasp features Maurice Lacroix&#8217;s M-branded logo; the same as that seen on the dial. The bracelet is also compatible with the brand&#8217;s easy change system. This means you can switch one strap for another, without the need for tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the Aikon Automatic Middle East Limited Edition has caught your eye, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/maurice-lacroix-aikon-automatic-middle-east-limited-edition-42mm-light-blue-clous-de-paris-dial-stainless-steel-ai6008-ss002-490-1-p-128077\/\">click here<\/a> to view it on our website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What are your thoughts on this limited edition Aikon Middle East?
