All Laid Out in Black and White

The new Aikon Automatic Ceramic comes in two colors, with each clocking in at a different size. There is a version in black ceramic that measures 42mm across its case, along with a 39mm model in full white ceramic.

Both models have matching tapisserie dials with color-matched date wheels at three o’clock, applied indices and logos, and sapphire crystals on both front and back. Both watches also feature stainless steel butterfly claps and casebacks, and both are powered by the same Sellita SW200-1-based automatic movements.

The watches also share the same scant thickness of 11mm, which is quite impressive considering that both are also water resistant to a dive-ready 200m.

Outside of their sizes and colors, the watches also differ in their finishes. The black is stealthier, with its ceramic being sandblasted for a muted look. Its hands, indices and applied logo are all matte black, matching the matte finish of the dial.

The white version features polished ceramic all over for a glossier look. A lacquered dial, applied rhodium logo, and rhodium-plated hands and indices add additional sheen.
