Aachen Pilot 861690.2 Watch

The Watch
This timepiece belongs to the Pilot collection, designed and manufactured by German brand Laco. With full in-house control over every stage of production, Laco crafts watches that stand as benchmarks of precision and quality. The design of this model carries the brand's unmistakable aeronautical heritage - bold, purposeful lines that mean business. The Aachen pairs stainless steel with leather for a rugged, characterful look. Its round case measures 42 mm in diameter and 12 mm in thickness - ideally masculine proportions. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial, while the caseback is snap-on and transparent, treating you to the mesmerizing dance of the rotor. A crown sits at 3 o'clock.

The Dial
The dial on this Aachen is round with a matte black base. Its layout is a nod to vintage cockpit instrument panels, with bold indices and excellent legibility. It features two distinct zones: an inner circle displaying Arabic numerals for the hours, and an outer ring carrying Arabic numerals for the minutes. Around the periphery, baton indices and a minute railroad track complete the layout. Hours, minutes, and seconds are indicated by two Alpha hands and a seconds hand. All elements receive a Superluminova C3 treatment for optimal visibility in any conditions.

The Movement
This automatic is powered by a Japanese Miyota 821A caliber with 21 jewels. It offers a 42-hour power reserve and beats at 21,600 vibrations per hour. Hours, minutes, and seconds are displayed analogically.

The Strap
This timepiece comes fitted with an authentic brown leather strap featuring white stitching along its edges, secured by a tang buckle. The lug width measures 18 mm.

Water Resistance
With a water resistance of 50 meters (5 ATM), this timepiece can handle everyday water exposure - but not prolonged submersion. An occasional shower is fine, but to preserve the accuracy and longevity of the movement, our watch specialists strongly advise keeping it away from baths, pools, and the sea. In short: no swimming, no diving, and no extended contact with water.
