The Laco Cuxhaven 42.5 is a modern Navy watch shaped by the visual language of historic maritime timekeepers. Its white enamel-look dial creates a clean backdrop for the black Arabic numerals, railway minute circle and subsidiary seconds display at 6 o’clock. The layout is restrained and highly legible, while the fluted bezel and mixed case finishing introduce a measured degree of refinement. At 42.5mm, the Cuxhaven has a confident wrist presence, but its slim 11mm height helps maintain balanced proportions. The result is a watch that feels substantial without becoming overly heavy or cumbersome. Inspiration & Design Laco’s maritime watches are closely connected to the precision instruments developed to meet the specifications of the German Marine Observatory in Hamburg. The Cuxhaven reflects that heritage through clarity rather than decoration. The railway minute track supports precise reading, the Arabic numerals remain immediately legible, and the small-seconds display preserves the traditional architecture associated with hand-wound marine watches. The white enamel-look dial gives the watch a brighter, more classical character than Laco’s black-dial pilot watches. Combined with the polished and brushed case surfaces and fluted bezel, it delivers a more refined expression of the brand’s functional German design language. Dial & Case The 42.5mm stainless steel case combines polished and brushed finishes and is framed by a distinctive fluted bezel. A flat anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the white enamel-look dial. The Arabic numerals and indexes are treated with Super-LumiNova C3, while the railway minute circle reinforces the watch’s precise, instrument-inspired appearance. The hour and minute hands are varnished black and filled with Super-LumiNova C3. The small-seconds hand is also luminous, supporting readability across the full display. These are not thermally blued hands. The screwed caseback incorporates an extra-large sapphire crystal opening, providing an expansive view of the movement. The case measures 11mm in height, 49.8mm lug to lug and accepts a 22mm strap. Water resistance is rated to 10ATM. The watch is completed by a light-coloured leather strap with a stainless steel buckle. Movement The Cuxhaven 42.5 is powered by the Laco 98 hand-winding movement, based on the ETA 6498.2 in top quality level. The movement does not feature a stop-seconds function. Its appeal instead lies in its large-scale construction, traditional hand-wound operation and extensive decorative finishing. Visible through the extra-large sapphire caseback, the movement features: Côtes de Genève across the bridges Thermally blued screws Sunray finishing on the ratchet wheel and crown wheel Engraved Laco logo on the ratchet wheel The absence of an automatic rotor leaves the movement architecture fully exposed, allowing the finishing and large calibre layout to become an integral part of the watch’s character. Final Thoughts The Cuxhaven 42.5 is one of Laco’s most distinctive watches outside its pilot collection. Its white enamel-look dial, small-seconds display and fluted bezel give it a classically maritime identity, while the decorated Laco 98 movement adds genuine mechanical interest. The hand-wound format also creates a more deliberate ownership experience, rewarding those who appreciate interacting with a mechanical watch rather than simply wearing one. For collectors drawn to traditional German design, visible craftsmanship and the quieter elegance of historic Navy watches, the Cuxhaven offers a compelling alternative to the conventional Flieger.

Named after one of Germany's most significant port cities, the Bremerhaven pays tribute to the precision timepieces that once played an essential role in maritime navigation. Its matte black dial is clean and purposeful, featuring luminous Arabic numerals, a traditional railway minute track and a subsidiary seconds display at six o'clock. The balanced layout emphasises clarity above all else, while the polished and brushed case with its distinctive fluted bezel lends the watch a refined yet unmistakably functional character. Rather than recreating a historical marine chronometer, the Bremerhaven captures the enduring principles that defined them—precision, readability and timeless design. Inspiration & Design The Bremerhaven draws inspiration from the marine watches historically associated with German naval timekeeping. Every detail reflects this heritage. The uncluttered dial prioritises legibility, while the polished and brushed case offers a more refined aesthetic than Laco's military-inspired Flieger collection. The distinctive fluted bezel adds subtle character without distracting from the instrument-like simplicity of the dial. Traditional craftsmanship and modern manufacturing come together to create a watch that feels equally at home in a collection or on the wrist every day. Dial & Case The 42.5mm stainless steel case features alternating polished and brushed finishes, creating a sophisticated balance between elegance and utility. A flat sapphire crystal with internal anti-reflective coating protects the matte black dial, where Arabic numerals, indexes and hands are filled with Super-LumiNova C3 for excellent legibility in low-light conditions. The subsidiary seconds display reinforces the watch's classic marine-inspired appearance. Turning the watch over reveals a generous sapphire exhibition caseback that showcases the beautifully decorated hand-wound movement. A supple black calf leather strap completes the understated aesthetic. Movement At the heart of the Bremerhaven is the Laco 98 hand-wound movement, based on the ETA 6498.2 Top Grade calibre. Visible through the sapphire exhibition caseback, the movement is beautifully decorated with Côtes de Genève across the bridges, thermally blued screws, sunray-finished ratchet and crown wheels, and an engraved Laco ratchet wheel. Its large architecture fills the case beautifully, making the movement an integral part of the watch's appeal. Hand-winding the Bremerhaven each day creates a direct connection between wearer and watch, offering a tactile ownership experience that many collectors find deeply rewarding. Final Thoughts The Bremerhaven 42.5 celebrates a slower, more deliberate approach to mechanical watchmaking. Its timeless maritime-inspired design, generous proportions and beautifully finished hand-wound movement combine to create a watch that is as satisfying to admire through its exhibition caseback as it is to wear. For collectors seeking understated elegance backed by genuine German watchmaking heritage, the Bremerhaven stands as one of Laco's finest Navy watches.

Named after one of Germany's most significant port cities, the Bremerhaven reflects the precision and restraint of the marine timepieces once developed for naval navigation. Its matte black dial is intentionally uncluttered, featuring a traditional railway minute track, luminous Arabic numerals and a small seconds display at 6 o'clock. The polished and brushed stainless steel case, paired with a distinctive fluted bezel, lends the watch an understated elegance while remaining true to its utilitarian origins. Rather than recreating a vintage marine chronometer, the Bremerhaven interprets its principles for modern everyday wear - prioritising clarity, precision and enduring craftsmanship. Inspiration & Design Like Laco's pilot watches, the Bremerhaven traces its origins to a remarkable period in German horology. The specifications for these maritime watches were established by the German Marine Observatory, and only a handful of manufacturers possessed the expertise to produce them. The Bremerhaven preserves this historical influence through a highly legible instrument-style dial and carefully considered proportions. The black dial creates strong contrast against the luminous numerals and hands, while the fluted bezel introduces a subtle touch of refinement that distinguishes the Navy collection from Laco's aviation models. Dial & Case The 39mm stainless steel case combines polished and brushed surfaces for a balanced, contemporary appearance. A flat anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the matte black dial, where Arabic numerals, indexes and the hour, minute and small seconds hands are filled with Super-LumiNova C3 for excellent readability in low-light conditions. The railway minute track reinforces the watch's instrument-inspired character, while the oversized sapphire exhibition caseback provides an expansive view of the beautifully decorated movement within. Completing the watch is a smooth black leather strap secured with a stainless steel buckle. Movement At the heart of the Bremerhaven is the Laco 261 hand-wound movement, based on the Sellita 261 Elaboré calibre and equipped with a stop-seconds function for precise time setting. Visible through the oversized sapphire caseback, the movement receives extensive finishing that elevates the ownership experience. The bridges are decorated with Côtes de Genève, while the thermally blued screws, sunray-finished ratchet and crown wheels, and engraved Laco ratchet wheel showcase the traditional craftsmanship behind the movement. Hand-winding the Bremerhaven each day becomes part of its appeal, creating a direct connection between wearer and watch that many collectors value. Final Thoughts The Bremerhaven 39 is a quiet expression of German watchmaking at its finest. Combining authentic maritime heritage, timeless instrument-inspired design and a beautifully decorated hand-wound movement, it offers a rewarding ownership experience that goes beyond simply telling the time. For collectors who appreciate mechanical craftsmanship and understated elegance, the Bremerhaven stands apart as one of Laco's most distinctive modern creations.I'm Explore the Collection Discover more from Laco. → Pilot Watches → Navy Watches → Chronographs → View All Laco Watches Technical Specifications Case size: 39mm Case material: Stainless steel case with a polished and brushed finish Case back: Exhibition caseback with sapphire crystal Movement type: Manual Movement no.: Laco 261 based on Sellita SW261 Power reserve: Approx 38hrs Dial: Black matte, railway minute circle, Arabic numerals and indexes with luminous material SuperLuminova C3, small second at 6 o'clock; hour hand and minute hand varnished in black, filled with SuperLuminova C3, small second also filled with SuperLuminova C3 Glass: Sapphire crystal Water resistance: 10ATM Strap type: Strap Strap material: Black calf Buckle: Stainless steel tang buckle Warranty: 2 years
