For decades, pilot watches have captivated enthusiasts with their precision, durability, and clear design. Honoring this rich legacy, the watch brand Laco blends historical pilot watches with modern elegance in its configurable “Flieger PRO” line. Launched in 2021, the PRO collection now features options for a blue dial and a case without side engraving, offering over 100,000 possible variations. This extensive customization allows each person to create their own unique Laco pilot watch.
Laco maintains its tradition with meticulous attention to detail in the “Pilot Watch Original” series, inspired by historical timepieces. As Laco approaches its 100th anniversary next year, the brand continues to innovate with technically and aesthetically impressive advancements. This dedication to customer desires is especially evident in the “Flieger PRO” models. The core models are the “Stuttgart PRO,” featuring a simple type A dial, and the “Karlsruhe PRO,” with type B dial, showcasing an inner hour circle and outer minute track. In response to popular demand, the collection now includes a blue sunburst dial. Depending on the light, this dial can appear almost black or brilliantly blue, offering a timeless elegance with its captivating sheen. The new variant also includes the option of a color-matched blue date disc.
For the case, available in 37 mm, 40 mm, or 43 mm, Laco now offers the choice to omit the lateral FL23883 engraving, traditionally referencing the history of authentic pilot watches. Despite its slim profile of just 11 mm, the screw-down case back and crown ensure water resistance up to 20 ATM, protecting the watch from moisture under various pressure and temperature conditions. All models are equipped with mechanical Swiss automatic or hand-wound movements, available in various quality levels and finishes.
Additionally, numerous individual configuration options are available, allowing you to design a pilot watch to your personal preferences – all with the unmistakable Laco pilot DNA. Depending on the features, models start at $1,020. Regardless of the configuration chosen, the result is always a uniquely characterized timepiece, crafted in Laco’s Pforzheim factory.
The models with the new configuration options will be available starting July 10th, 2024.
