MAURICE LACROIX SHAKES UP ONE OF ITS ALL-BLACK MODELS with new , bright colors , transforming the formerly dark Aikon Master Grand Date Black into the new Master Grand Date Technicolor .
The watch , formerly available only in more traditional black ( or dark blue ) garb , takes on a new , playful guise with the new offering .
The debuts retain the watch ’ s primary technical features , namely its large date display , visible balance wheel and the openworked small seconds display . You might recall that Maurice Lacroix placed a specialized orange version of its Master Grand
Date into the 2021 Only Watch charity auction . But Maurice Lacroix shifts the design ’ s mood , adding fun to the
Aikon Master Grand Date ’ s technical , in-house design .
To do this , the watchmaker offers the Aikon Grand Date Technicolor as limited edition series of fifty pieces in each of four bright , metallic colors : yellow , orange , blue and green . Furthermore , the date display itself is colorful , with the numerals presented the same bright colors as the dials .
Maurice Lacroix says it was inspired by the success of its 1990sera Calypso collection , a series of watches bathed in bright colors .
