The Laco Aachen 39 pays tribute to the legendary observation watches developed during the 1940s, when only a handful of manufacturers were authorised to produce precision navigation instruments for military aviation. Its distinctive Type B (Baumuster B) dial prioritises the minute track on the outer ring, while the hours are displayed on a smaller inner circle. Designed to improve readability during navigation, this layout became one of the defining characteristics of the historic Beobachtungsuhr and remains one of the most recognisable pilot watch designs ever created. Today, the Aachen 39 faithfully recreates those historic proportions in a more wearable size, making it equally suited to daily wear and serious collections. Inspiration & Design Every detail of the Aachen reflects the practical philosophy behind the original Flieger watches. The matte black Type B dial is intentionally uncluttered, allowing the outer minute scale to dominate while the inner hour ring provides quick orientation. The signature triangle at 12 o'clock, oversized onion crown and riveted leather strap all remain faithful to the specifications that defined Laco's historic pilot watches. Rather than simply borrowing vintage styling cues, the Aachen is built by one of the manufacturers that helped establish them, giving the watch an authenticity few modern pilot watches can genuinely claim. Dial & Case The matte-finished stainless steel case measures 39mm in diameter, striking an ideal balance between historical proportions and contemporary wearability. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the highly legible dial, while the sapphire exhibition caseback offers a view of the automatic movement. Super-LumiNova C3 on both the numerals and hands ensures excellent legibility in low-light conditions, while the vintage brown calf leather strap with traditional rivets completes the classic Flieger aesthetic. Movement The Aachen 39 is powered by the Laco 2S automatic movement, based on the reliable Miyota 82S0 calibre. Equipped with hacking seconds, it allows the second hand to stop when the crown is pulled for precise time setting. Reliable, easy to maintain and proven in everyday use, the movement complements the watch's functional heritage while delivering dependable mechanical performance. Final Thoughts The Aachen 39 demonstrates that authenticity doesn't depend on size. Combining genuine Flieger heritage with a balanced 39 mm case, it captures everything enthusiasts appreciate about traditional German pilot watches while offering comfort for everyday wear. For anyone seeking an authentic Type B Flieger from one of the original manufacturers, the Aachen 39 is a compelling place to begin.

A Modern Interpretation of an Aviation Icon Few watches are as instantly recognisable as the German Flieger. Originally developed as precision navigation instruments for military pilots during the 1940s, these watches established a design language that continues to influence aviation timepieces today. Founded in Pforzheim in 1925, Laco was one of the original manufacturers entrusted with producing these historic pilot watches. The Augsburg 42 faithfully preserves that heritage while adapting it for contemporary everyday wear. Rather than serving as a museum piece, it offers collectors an accessible way to experience one of mechanical watchmaking's most enduring designs. Inspiration & Design The Augsburg features the classic Type A (Baumuster A) pilot dial, distinguished by its clean arrangement of large Arabic numerals, luminous sword hands and the unmistakable triangle with twin dots at 12 o'clock. Originally developed to maximise readability inside the cockpit, the layout remains one of the clearest and most functional dial designs ever created. Unlike more complex pilot watches, the Type A dial embraces restraint. Every element exists for a purpose, giving the Augsburg a timeless character that feels equally at home with casual clothing or everyday office wear. Dial & Case The 42mm stainless steel case captures the commanding presence expected of a traditional Flieger while remaining comfortable enough for daily use. The oversized onion crown pays tribute to the original observation watches, allowing pilots to operate the watch while wearing gloves, while the brushed case finish reinforces its purposeful tool-watch character. Combined with its sapphire crystal and premium leather strap, the Augsburg balances historical authenticity with the durability expected of a modern mechanical watch. Movement Powering the Augsburg 42 is the Laco 2S automatic movement, based on the reliable Miyota 82S0. Selected for its proven dependability and ease of maintenance, it reflects Laco's philosophy of creating robust mechanical watches that are built to be worn every day. Visible through the exhibition caseback, the movement offers owners the opportunity to appreciate the mechanics that drive the watch while delivering dependable performance for years of regular use. Wearability The Augsburg 42 is often considered one of the most approachable watches in the Laco collection. Its clean Type A dial, versatile proportions and understated design make it an excellent choice for collectors purchasing their first German pilot watch, while its authentic heritage ensures it remains equally rewarding for seasoned enthusiasts. Whether paired with denim, leather or tailoring, the Augsburg wears with effortless versatility while retaining the unmistakable character of a true Flieger. Final Thoughts The Augsburg 42 succeeds because it stays true to the original purpose of the Flieger: exceptional legibility, robust engineering and honest functionality. Nearly a century after Laco's founding, it continues to represent everything that makes German pilot watches so enduringly admired. For collectors seeking an authentic entry into the world of Flieger watches, the Augsburg remains one of the finest places to begin.

Inspired by the Blaue Stunde, or "Blue Hour", this special edition gives one of Laco's most recognisable pilot watches an elegant new personality. The finely brushed blue sunray dial captures the changing light of twilight, shifting from deep navy to vibrant blue depending on the viewing angle. Despite this contemporary finish, the Augsburg remains unmistakably a traditional Flieger, retaining its clean Type A (Baumuster A) dial with oversized Arabic numerals, signature triangle at 12 o'clock and uncompromising focus on legibility. It is a watch that honours history while embracing modern refinement. Inspiration & Design The original Flieger watches were designed as precision cockpit instruments where readability was paramount. The Augsburg Blaue Stunde preserves that philosophy while introducing subtle sophistication through colour and finishing. The blue sunray dial adds remarkable depth without compromising clarity, while the satin-finished stainless steel case and grey nylon strap create a clean, contemporary aesthetic. Rather than simply recreating a vintage design, Laco demonstrates how an icon can evolve while remaining instantly recognisable. Dial & Case The matte-finished stainless steel case measures 42mm in diameter, giving the Augsburg a confident wrist presence while remaining comfortable for daily wear. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the striking blue sunray dial, while the sapphire exhibition caseback reveals the automatic movement inside. Super-LumiNova C3 on both the numerals and hands ensures excellent visibility in low-light conditions, and the grey two-piece nylon strap complements the cool tones of both the dial and case. Movement The Augsburg Blaue Stunde 42 is powered by the Laco 2S automatic movement, based on the reliable Miyota 82S0 calibre. Equipped with second hand stop, it allows precise time setting whenever the crown is pulled. Reliable, robust and easy to maintain, the movement is ideally suited to a watch built for everyday wear while remaining faithful to the practical spirit of the original Flieger. Final Thoughts The Augsburg Blaue Stunde 42 proves that a classic never has to stand still. Its authentic Type A layout, genuine German Flieger heritage and beautifully executed blue sunray dial combine to create a pilot watch that feels both timeless and contemporary. For collectors who appreciate history but want something a little different from the traditional black dial, it offers the best of both worlds.
