The German Laco Karlsruhe Pro 43 Handwinding watches impress at first glance with their typical pilot design, which is characterized by cleanliness and great clarity, making it very popular not only among watch fans.

The models in the Flieger Pro series offer the possibility of creating a watch exactly to your liking. You can choose between three case sizes - 43, 40 and 37 mm, and the case surface can be brushed or sandblasted. The dial also allows for customisation, with both type A and type B, with and without logo, with and without date. For the date plate, you can also choose the colour of the backing, black and white are available. You can also easily customize the watch by choosing the position of the crown (left/right), the movement (automatic/manual and elaborate/top). You can add decoration to the movement for an extra cost and also choose a caseback with sapphire crystal. The sapphire crystal can be enhanced with a double-sided anti-reflective coating.

Laco Karlsruhe Pro 43 Handwinding combines modern elements with classic ones from the original pilot's watches used during World War II. The brushed steel case of the Laco Flieger Pro Karlsruhe 43 Handwinding with curved feet for comfort is complemented by a brown leather strap with contrast stitching and distinctive rivets. The side of the case bears the FL23883 marking, which was the classification number. The water resistance of this watch is 200 m (20 ATM), backed by a screw-down crown, so it can handle swimming. The diameter of the case is 43 mm, the length (lug-to-lug) is 50.5 mm, so the watch fits well on most men's wrists.

The classic hallmarks of the Laco Karlsruhe Pro 43 Handwinding pilot's watch include the distinctive and easy-to-read hands and indices at the hour positions and the large crown, which is easy to operate even with gloves. The perfectly clear B-type dial is protected by a domed sapphire crystal with internal anti-reflective coating and high scratch resistance. The B-Uhr Type B dial features a minute scale printed around the perimeter of the dial, with an arrow at the 12 o'clock position for quick orientation for aviators and an hour scale printed on the inner circle. Luminescence, located on the hands, numerals and indices, provides better legibility in low light conditions. The hands of the watch are thermal blue.

The movement is powered by a Laco 210/215 mechanical movement with manual winding (based on the Sellita SW210/ SW215 Elaboré - tested in 3 positions, accuracy +/- 14 s/day) with a power reserve of around 42 hours. The machine with a frequency of 28800 semi-frequencies per hour offers a function to stop the seconds hand when setting the time (hacking). The Sellita SW215 differs from the SW210 in its date function.
