Male watches Laco Augsburg Grau 42

German Laco Augsburg Grau 42 watches bring a new colour to the basic series of pilot watches Pilot Basic. At first glance, they impress with the typical pilot design, characterised by cleanliness and excellent legibility, thanks to which they are very popular not only among watch fans.

Laco presents a new colour version of its classic pilot watches in the form of the Augsburg Grau and Aachen Grau models, whose main colour has become grey. The silvery sheen of the brushed case follows the monochrome colour scheme and forms a harmonious whole with the matt dial. Especially in today’s fast-paced times, we often long for calm and rest and like to turn to simple and plain things. Minimalism and monochrome colours have a calming and relaxing effect. Single-colour patterns, most often represented by neutral white, black and precisely grey, are timeless and it is no coincidence that in the fashion world grey is often referred to as the new black, because it is not as contrasting and is an ideal complement to many colours. The models of the Grau collection come only for the second time in the Pilot Basic series with thermally blued hands.

The stainless steel case of the Laco Flieger Augsburg Grau 42 watch is complemented by a grey leather strap with distinctive rivets. They are powered by a mechanical movement with automatic winding Laco 2S (base Miyota 82S0), offering a power reserve of around 42 hours, a seconds stop function when setting the time (hacking) and the option of manual winding. Many will appreciate the possibility to observe the movement through the transparent case back fitted with a sapphire crystal. The water resistance of these watches is 50 m (5 ATM). The case diameter is 42 mm, the length (lug-to-lug) 50 mm, so the watch fits well on most men’s wrists.

The classic identifying features of the Laco Augsburg Polar 42 watch, inspired by the aviation style, include distinctive and easy-to-read hands and indices at the hour positions, and an easy-to-operate crown. The perfectly clear type A dial is protected by a sapphire crystal with high scratch resistance. Better legibility in poorer lighting conditions is ensured by Super-LumiNova® BGW 9 luminescence, placed on the hands, numerals and indices. The watch hands are only for the second time (after the Laco Polar models) in this series thermally blued.

You can also find the watch under the designation Laco 862158.

• Movement Laco 31 (base Miyota 8315, power reserve 60 hours, thermally blued screws)
