The perfect companion on you road to success<\/strong><\/p>\n

In July 2021, Maurice Lacroix announced it was the Official Timekeeper of the King of the Court (KOTC). Now, building on its relationship with KOTC, the Swiss brand has produced a special edition Aikon watch, an ideal companion for individuals seeking their own route to success.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

\"\"<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

The Aikon King of the Court Special Edition is housed in titanium, a lightweight material that is not susceptible to corrosion or sensitive to magnetic fields. In addition, it\u2019s hypoallergenic. The model is presented in black, white and golden yellow, inspired by the corporate colours of KOTC. Measuring 42mm in diameter this sports watch delivers much wrist presence..<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Consistent with all Maurice Lacroix watches, this special edition delivers a notable degree of precision. Its luminescent hour and minute hands prove very legible even in dim light conditions, while the chronograph accurately measures elapsed periods of time. A date display completes the inventory of functions. The watch comes supplied on a tricoloured FKM rubber strap. This premium grade of rubber is superior to conventional rubber straps. In fact, it is more flexible, aiding wearer comfort and provides superior wear resistance. Lastly, FKM rubber is less prone to fading, retaining its showroom-fresh appearance for longer. The model is also endowed with the Easy Strap Exchange system, allowing the wearer to swap the strap for an alternative without the need for tools.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

\"\"<\/div>
To the rear of the watch, the case back is engraved with the King of the Court logo, the mark of a \ntrue competitor. Indeed, whichever arena you find yourself competing within, the AIKON King of the Court Special Edition is the perfect companion.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
