For many decades, pilot watches have fascinated with their precision, robustness, and clear design. Reflecting on the rich history of these timepieces, the watch brand Laco combines historical pilot‘s watches with timeless modernity in the configurable “Flieger PRO” line.
Established in 2021, the PRO collection now includes configuration options for a blue dial and a case option without FL 23883 side engraving. This allows for over 100,000 possible variations, giving everyone the opportunity to create their own unique Laco pilot watch.
Laco preserves its tradition with great attention to detail in the “Pilot Watch Original” series, inspired by historical timepieces. In addition, the watch brand, which celebrates its 100th anniversary next year, is also working on modern advancements that impress both technically and aesthetically.
Customer wishes are particularly emphasized. This philosophy is especially reflected in the “Flieger PRO” models. The basis for these are always the two models “Stuttgart PRO,” with the simple Baumuster A dial, and “Karlsruhe PRO,” with Baumuster B, featuring an inner hour circle and outer minute track. Due to popular demand, in addition to the classic black dials, there is now also the choice of a blue sunburst dial. Depending on the light, this dial can appear almost black or brilliantly blue and timelessly elegant, creating an unparalleled effect with its fascinating shine. The new variant is complemented by the option of a color-matched blue date disc.
For the case, available in 37 mm, 40 mm, or 43 mm, Laco now also offers the option to omit the lateral FL23883 engraving, which typically refers to the history of authentic pilot watches on the case flank.
Despite a low profile of just 11 mm, the screw-down case back and screw-down crown ensure a water resistance up to 20 ATM, protecting against moisture under varying pressure and temperature conditions. All models are equipped with mechanical Swiss automatic or hand-wound movements, offered in various quality levels and finishes.
Additionally, a variety of other individual configuration options are available, allowing you to create a pilot watch according to personal preferences – always with the unmistakable Laco pilot DNA. Depending on the features, models start at 850 Euros. Regardless of which configuration the customer chooses, the result is always a timepiece with individual character, manufactured as a unique piece in the factory in Pforzheim.
