Last year, the Laco Augsburg Taupe and Aachen Taupe sparked enthusiasm in the world of Pilot watches. With their subtle color scheme, the two fliegers offered a refreshingly contemporary, and surprisingly elegant look for a classic pilot watch. The 42 mm limited edition pilot in B-Uhr Type A sold out before Christmas in 2019.
Laco is now launching two additional models in a limited edition in their entry-level Pilot watch series. The new models now come in a smaller 39 mm diameter. The appearance of the new Augsburg Taupe and Aachen Taupe is as impressive as their predecessors, and more appealing to watch enthusiasts with preference for mid-size watches.
With this new size, Laco is following the trend of smaller cases and responds to the request of many enthusiasts who explicitly wished a smaller case. From August 2020, 200 pieces of each of the two models will be available.
