Akrone C-02 - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

I just realized that I haven't introduced you to my C2! I had the pleasure of picking up this watch at the showroom and chatting with the creators. A very beautiful 2-level dial, sunburst for the minute track and with a gray seabed map with a touch of blue. The case exudes quality, Akrone working a lot with the army. The logo is a hexagon with an ermine (and yes Brittany!) inside, all forming the A of Akrone. Waterproof to 300 m, it is ready for adventure. The case back represents a kraken in homage to Jules Verne and the city of Nantes. A fun little detail, there is a return of the Kraken's legs on the dial in the seabed map. A very pretty knurling of the signed crown which allows a good grip. The two-tone bezel indicating hours and minutes allows a clever "GMT function" for travelers. I really like its polished skeleton hands and applied indexes. There, I think I've covered this beauty.

Acquired in July 2020, this watch is my 2nd compressor but my 1st Akrone, a dynamic French brand with an astonishing quality-price ratio. Miyota 9015 movement, 41.5mm diameter, 48mm horn-to-horn, 12.7mm thickness, AR sapphire crystal, beveled hands, bidirectional internal rotating bezel, screwed crowns and water-resistant to 300m => incredible specs for a price less than €600 at the time. The alternation of polished and matte is well placed, the dial with the raised seabed is original, as are the fluorescent green touches here and there, and the movement is impeccably adjusted. I regret a certain weight (170gr on steel bracelet) and a certain thickness, 2 points however inherent to this type of watch. A very nice purchase, this Compressor in Frégate color!

Akrone is a French and Nantes brand founded in recent years. Being a watch enthusiast and collector, I had necessarily heard about it... Until the day a colleague who was also a collector arrived with an Akrone on his wrist... And so I was able to discover the excellent quality. So I acquired this pretty Akrone C02 Lagon, in a blue dial color that is rare in watchmaking. It is precisely its originality and its textured dial, as well as the engraved caseback that won me over. The dial and the engraved caseback represent a kraken
