Paderborn Erbstück 861932 Watch

The Watch
As one of the rare watchmakers to have crafted timepieces for the German Air Force, Laco carries a rich history it draws from with every collection. In the 1940s, a Laco was an essential cockpit instrument; today, it's the ultimate expression of aviation enthusiasm. The Paderborn Erbstück features a vintage-inspired case that pairs beautifully with its aged matte black dial and worn brown leather strap. The case measures 42mm in diameter and 13mm thick - a perfect fit for men's wrists. An anti-reflective sapphire crystal ensures excellent legibility in any light. The case back is snap-on and engraved with the watch's details, adding to the WWII-era vintage feel. Use the crown at 3 o'clock to set the hands of this Paderborn Erbstück. With this Laco watch on your wrist, you're not just wearing a precise, rugged timepiece - you're wearing a piece of history.

The Dial
This stunning dial wears its age like a badge of honor - you'd almost wonder when it was actually made. Round, black, and double-ringed, it features two sword-shaped main hands for the hours and minutes, plus a seconds hand sweeping close to the dial's outer edge. The outer ring houses all the minute indicators: a railroad track, Arabic numerals, and indices. The inner circle holds the hour markers (round indices and numerals 1 through 12). The hour hand is precisely sized to reach the edge of this inner circle, creating a beautifully precise visual effect.

The Movement
Swiss watchmaking manufacturer ETA brings its time-honored expertise to this Laco watch. Powered by an automatic movement with impressive mechanical craftsmanship, the ETA 2824-2 caliber delivers hours, minutes, and seconds functions with a 38-hour power reserve.

The Strap
This brown calfskin leather strap features rivets that dress up the leather near the case, reinforcing the vintage 1940s feel of the Paderborn Erbstück. It fastens with a silver-tone pin buckle and has a 20mm lug width.

Water Resistance
With a water resistance of 50 meters (5 ATM in watchmaking terms), this timepiece can handle everyday splashes - but prolonged water exposure is a different story. A quick shower now and then? Fine. But to keep the movement running at its best, our watch specialists strongly recommend keeping it away from baths, pools, and the ocean. Bottom line: no swimming, no diving, no extended contact with water.
