Cuxhaven 39 862168 Watch

The Watch

Laco is a German watchmaking brand founded in 1925, celebrated for producing ever more refined and high-performing timepieces. It is one of the rare manufactures to have crafted watches for the German Air Force in the 1940s. Their watches embody charm and understated elegance, with carefully considered details that define their character. This stunning Cuxhaven 39 862168 watch is a masterclass in rare elegance and restraint. Its round stainless steel case measures 39.00 mm in diameter and 9.80 mm in thickness, delivering a clean, pared-back aesthetic. It's made for the refined men's wrist, bringing a distinctive, one-of-a-kind style. The fluted bezel adds character and originality, framing the flat sapphire crystal that shields the dial from external damage. The crystal's anti-reflective coating ensures optimal legibility of the time markers, which are set via the cabochon crown at 3 o'clock - finished with an elegant knurled texture. Finally, this 68 g model features a screw-down case back with a sapphire crystal display, letting you admire the movement's inner workings while maintaining water resistance to 10 ATM.

The Dial

Clean and crisp, the white dial strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and sophistication - giving you an effortless time-reading experience you'll rely on every day. Refined and full of character, it makes this watch an essential companion for both classic looks and all your adventures. It features two sword hands pointing to Arabic numeral indexes, displaying hours and minutes, while the subdial at 6 o'clock tracks the seconds. All time markers are coated with Super-LumiNova C3 for clear legibility even in the dark. The small subdial hand is thermally blued, just like the central hands. A minute track runs along the edge of the dial for added precision. The brand name sits at 12 o'clock, with the origin noted at the bottom of the dial.

The Movement

This watch is powered by an in-house automatic movement - specifically the Laco caliber 261, built on a Sellita SW261 base. A high-performing mechanism that drives the hands and subdial with fluid precision, displaying hours, minutes, and seconds. It features 23 jewels, beats at 28,800 bph (4 Hz), and delivers a power reserve of 38 hours.

"The Bracelet"

The brand fitted this beautiful watch with a light brown bovine leather strap featuring white contrast stitching - a refined touch that pairs effortlessly with any outfit. With a lug width of 20.00 mm, it sits comfortably on the wrist and fastens securely with a classic pin buckle.

Water Resistance

With water resistance up to 100 meters - that's 10 ATM in watchmaking speak - this timepiece is equally at home at a black-tie gala or in the water. Feel free to wear it in the shower, the bath, or while swimming (even during an intense workout). That said, our team of watchmaking experts want to be clear: this model is not designed for scuba diving, freediving, or high-pressure water jets. Keep it simple - shower, bath, and swimming only, and never operate the pushers or crown while submerged.
