The Watch

German watchmaking house Laco has been celebrated worldwide since 1925 for its artisanal expertise and exceptional quality. Known for its strong aviation-inspired designs, it's the perfect choice for passionate globetrotters. Discover the FRANKFURT GMT GRAU from the Pilot Special Models collection - a watch that displays two time zones and meets the demands of a sophisticated, globally connected lifestyle. The case is crafted from dark sandblasted stainless steel, measuring 43 millimeters in diameter and 12.5 millimeters in thickness - decidedly bold, masculine proportions. A sapphire crystal protects the dial from everyday shocks and scratches, while a double anti-reflective coating ensures optimal legibility. Two crown pushers at 2 and 4 o'clock allow easy adjustment of the hands and date window. Finally, a solid screwed steel caseback guarantees water resistance to 200 meters and is engraved with a relief airplane motif. Let this elegant, modern timepiece elevate your wrist game.

The Dial

This timepiece features a round dial in dark gray. The internal rotating bezel displaying 24 hours adds depth and dimension. At the center, you'll find two sword-shaped hands and a slim white seconds hand, indicating the hours, minutes, and seconds alongside baton indexes, a railroad minute track, and Arabic numerals at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock. A fourth hand with an orange arrow tip indicates the GMT function. The hands and indexes are coated with SuperLuminova luminescent material for optimal legibility in low-light conditions. For added precision, a date window sits at 6 o'clock. The brand's signature appears at 12 o'clock.

The Movement

This watch is powered by a Swiss-made automatic movement. The ETA 2893-2 caliber delivers high-quality analog display. With a beat frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and a 38-hour power reserve, it drives the hour, minute, and second hands as well as the date window with precision and reliability.

The Bracelet

This watch is fitted with a stunning black leather strap featuring tone-on-tone stitching that adds a touch of elegance and modernity to the design. The strap sits sleekly on the wrist and fastens with a pin buckle. Note that the strap has a lug width of 20 millimeters.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 20 atmospheres (200 meters), this model qualifies without hesitation as a diver's watch. Our watchmaking experts agree that while this timepiece handles showers, baths, swimming, freediving, and recreational scuba diving with ease, it is not designed for extreme deep-sea diving, where pressure would overcome its water resistance. For professional divers looking to push depth limits, we recommend models rated at 30 atmospheres or more. We also advise against operating the pushers or crown while in the water, to maintain a perfect seal.
