Each with a sun-brushed finish, the dials feature rhodium-plated baton indices and hands. For optimal readability, the hour and minute hands have a white SuperLuminova coating. All three dials also feature three rhodium sub-dials and a date aperture at 6 o&#8217;clock. Perfect for timing a business meeting or even a train journey, the sub-dials showcase seconds by central hand, a 30-minute counter at 9 o&#8217;clock and a 1\/10-second counter at 12 o&#8217;clock. To ensure each display remains in pristine condition, a sapphire crystal protects it. With several layers of anti-reflective coating on both sides, said crystal not only provides great durability levels but clarity levels as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Protecting the core of each watch is a brushed and polished stainless steel case. Measuring a reduced 42mm in diameter, it should suit most writs. Aided by the screw-down crown, all watches boast a water resistance rating of up to 100 metres (10 bar). As well as this, each upgraded watch features a stainless steel bezel with Maurice Lacroix&#8217;s six &#8216;claws&#8217; design. Easy on the eye, and the wrist, this detail greatly adds to the bold, urban design of the watch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>The Movement and Finishing Touches <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/lying-down.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/lying-down-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84103\" width=\"340\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/lying-down-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/lying-down-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/lying-down-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/lying-down-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/lying-down-1110x1110.png 1110w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/lying-down-930x930.png 930w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/lying-down-750x750.png 750w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/lying-down-510x510.png 510w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/lying-down-360x360.png 360w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/lying-down-120x120.png 120w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/lying-down.png 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 340px) 100vw, 340px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Reliable and precise, a Swiss-made quartz movement powers each Aikon Quartz Chronograph. And thanks to said movement, accurate timekeeping is always on the cards. Sleek and sophisticated, a stainless steel bracelet concludes the design of each fresh-faced model. However, if the stainless steel bracelet isn\u2019t quite to your taste, you can change it for something different. Maurice Lacroix\u2019s Easy Change System allows you to switch out your current bracelet for a new one; without the need for tools! So no matter if you want something with more of a sporty feel, or something more out-there, the choice is impressive and there is a strap for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perfect for the urban dweller, if these upgraded Aikon Quartz Chronograph models have caught your eye, make sure to check them out on our website.
