Naked Eye 3D Effect - Maurice Lacroix Aikon Watches

Maurice Lacroix's classic mechanical aikon series, models continue to be updated, this time adding two outstanding limited edition new works, although based on the same design concept, but the aesthetic style is completely different. The bronze material and the brown ceramic style reflect the sassy yet modern personality. Coupled with a dynamic dial, it shows the sporty fashion style. These two watches adopt the color elements of the current trend and, like the Venturer watch, are designed for the diverse and colorful urban life. The best replica watches at captainthewatch.is.

The watch is made entirely of stainless steel or bronze, with a satin-finished surface and polished edges. The six AIKON iconic paws on the bezel have practical functions. The ceramic bezel is easy to grasp and easy to rotate in one direction. The six paws are located on the scale 10 minutes apart and are evenly engraved on the watch, making AIKON Venturer a veritable "tool watch". The bottom case of the watch is printed with "Jura wave pattern" and surrounds the M logo engraved in the center, showing the ingenuity of the Venturer watch. These two new AIKON Venturer watches once again demonstrate the Maurice Lacroix brand concept, with excellent quality and high cost performance.

The AIKON Venturer watch is made of bronze for the first time. The 43 mm case is made of a special material, which is not easy to oxidize, and can show a quaint brown luster over time. Maurice Lacroix also matched this "tool watch" with a dark green sun-radiating texture dial, which echoes the color of the case. The rubber strap also adopts the corresponding color, so that the watch is integrated in the design. Equipped with the ears of the quick-change strap, the watch can easily replace the vintage brown calfskin strap decorated with primary color stitching. In addition, the watch is also equipped with a brown ceramic bezel, and six hour markers that follow the design style of the Venturer watch, which are made of bronze like the case. This watch is equipped with the ML 115 automatic movement, limited to 500 pieces worldwide.

Another AIKON Venturer 43 mm watch is made of stainless steel, and the surface of the stainless steel parts is covered with 2N gold plating. The small links on the bracelet, the crown and the claws on the bezel all present a warm and delicate light like gold, making the watches that originally focused on practical functions more precious and elegant. However, the purpose of this watch is the same as that of an all-metal watch. The dark blue sun-radiating texture dial and the same-color ceramic bezel complement each other, giving this sporty fashion watch a solemn and elegant style. The 2N gold and dark blue color matching makes the watch reveal the retro texture of the 1980s, adding new ideas to the Maurice Lacroix design style. The bracelet is equipped with a quick and easy-to-change strap device that allows the wearer to instantly change their personal style and reveal their charm. This watch is also equipped with the ML 115 self-winding movement.

Bigger 2020 Omega Constellation Men's Watch

The Omega Constellation began in 1952, but the style of the constellation watch we are familiar with comes from the Manhattan series in 1982. Its distinguishing feature is the four screw-like grippers extending from the top of the case to the dial. The highly polished claws at three and nine o'clock will become the iconic feature of Manhattan. Aesthetically, the claws also played a practical role, firmly fixing the sapphire crystal and washer to the case to ensure water resistance; since then, all versions of the constellation have retained this element.

The previous men’s Omega Constellation replica watches had only two sizes of 36 mm and 39 mm. Now it has been expanded to 41 mm in diameter. This is the largest men’s constellation today. It sounds like a number, but due to its short and angled lugs, the watch’s The wearing effect should not be so great, it is still a formal range. The new constellation is not only larger in diameter. Due to the replacement of the 8900/8901 movement, the 41mm constellation male is thicker, with a thickness of 13.5mm, compared with the previous 39mm constellation male watch (the movement is 8800/8801) The thickness is 12.5mm, and 13.5mm is too thick for a formal watch --- the common problem of Omega 8xxx/9xxx series movements. To be fair, the 41mm constellation still retains the 39mm 8800 movement, and its overall shape ratio will be more coordinated.

In 2020, Omega has cleverly redesigned the men's constellation, leaning along the edges of the case and claws, and adding a reshaped winding crown. The dial of the improved version of the constellation is home to thin hands and hour markers, inspired by the triangular facets of the Freedom Tower in Manhattan. There is also a trapezoidal date window under the customary star mark on the dial. These redesigns were originally seen on the 39mm constellation model and have now entered the 41mm iteration.

The Constellation 41mm watch uses a leather strap instead of the familiar constellation integrated metal bracelet. This is probably the biggest design deviation from the old version of the constellation. The strap is made of crocodile leather and is equipped with an antibacterial rubber lining to provide maximum comfort. It is connected to the case by metal links. I don't quite understand Omega's design concept. Now the size is bigger, but the distance between the lugs is still 24.2mm of the 39mm constellation. It is said that this design allows the wearer to exchange the strap with the metal chain in the 39mm constellation series.
