Watch Review: Maurice Lacroix Aikon Venturer GMT
If you are in the mood for a sporty GMT watch with a lot of character and a decent price, then the still-fresh Swiss Maurice Lacroix Aikon Venturer GMT 43mm should be something to take a close look at. The Maurice Lacroix Aikon is the popular integrated bracelet watch that has been doing very well for the brand over the last few years. It later released the Aikon Venturer, which was a diver’s watch-style product extension of the Aikon family.

The steel bezel has a black ceramic insert, and on top of that, it has another steel layer that forms six raised points that give the overall design a stronger feel and add even more visual depth to the face.

Right from the outset, this was a watch I meshed with.Now, for longer-term readers of my ramblings, this should be no surprise. In fact, when I
