The LacoAachen 39 is a replica of the original pilot watches from the 1940s with a TypeB (Baumaster B) design dial. This features a dial with an inner hour circle, an outer minute trackand an arrow at 12 o’clock.

There are pilot watches. And then there is the pilot watch from Laco. As one of a few exclusive companies producing original pilot watches, the workshop in Pforzheim can look back on a long tradition. Whereas in the 1940s, a Laco was an indispensable tool in the cockpit, today it is an expression of freedom. With a Laco aviator watch, you are not only wearing a precise and robust watch on your wrist, but also a piece of history.

Regardless of which Laco aviator watch you choose, all models have one thing in common: a legendary history. In the 1940s, only a handful of companies received permission to manufacture pilot watches. One of them was Laco. The detailed requirements laid down for observation watches for the German Air Force were formulated by the Ministry of Aviation under the classification “FL 23883”. This number stood for “navigation devices” and could also be seen on each watch on the opposite side of the winder.

As authentic replicas of historical Laco aviator watches from the 1940s, the current models are characterised by their high precision combined with outstanding design.

The main characteristics of a Laco aviator watch are, among other things, the iconic watch face, the distinctive onion-shaped crown, the closed leather strap and the surface finish of the casing.

Robust aviator watches with distinctive marks that tell a story are the “heirlooms” of Laco. The unique and intentional signs of wear on the aviator watches attest to their authenticity and an eventful history – and turns each “heirloom” into a high-quality one-of-a-kind item.

In other words: a legend that Laco’s watchmakers build with devotion – and Laco’scustomers wear with passion.
