The Laco Aachen 42 gives the classic Type B pilot layout a practical, approachable automatic build. Its 42mm matte-finished stainless steel case surrounds an inner hour ring and bold outer minute scale, protected by sapphire crystal. Super-LumiNova C3 on the dial and hands improves low-light clarity, while the exhibition back reveals the open-heart architecture of the 21-jewel Laco 2S automatic movement. Hand-winding, hacking seconds, a 42-hour reserve, brown riveted calf leather strap and 50m water resistance make this German flieger an easy everyday choice with genuine aviation character.

ABOUT THE BRAND
Laco
Founded in 1925 in Pforzheim, Germany, Laco (originally Lacher & Co) blends aviation heritage with tool-watch precision. As one of the five official makers of the WWII “B-Uhr” observation watches for German pilots, Laco built its reputation on clarity, durability and high-function performance.
Today Laco continues to honour that legacy: its pilot, navy and tool-watch collections feature German-crafted states of robustness, legibility and mechanical authenticity, designed for wearers who appreciate real utility and historical roots.
