The Laco Aachen Blaue Stunde 42 is part of the Blaue Stunde collection of pilot watches. Blaue Stunde translates to "twilight hour" in German and references that short period between dusk and dawn or dawn and dusk that the sky turns an immaculate blue. This is the shade of blue that Laco captures in its Blaue Stunde collection. The Laco Aachen Blaue Stunde 42 comes with a Type B (Baumaster B) design dial. This features a dial with an inner hour circle, an outer minute track and an arrow at 12 o'clock. There are pilot watches. And then there is the pilot watch from Laco. As one of a few exclusive companies producing original pilot watches, the workshop in Pforzheim can look back on a long tradition. Whereas in the 1940s, a Laco was an indispensable tool in the cockpit, today it is an expression of freedom. With a Laco aviator watch, you are not only wearing a precise and robust watch on your wrist, but also a piece of history. Regardless of which Laco aviator watch you choose, all models have one thing in common: a legendary history. In the 1940s, only a handful of companies received permission to manufacture pilot watches. One of them was Laco. The detailed requirements laid down for observation watches for the German Air Force were formulated by the Ministry of Aviation under the classification "FL 23883". This number stood for "navigation devices" and could also be seen on each watch on the opposite side of the winder. As authentic replicas of historical Laco aviator watches from the 1940s, the current models are characterised by their high precision combined with outstanding design. The main characteristics of a Laco aviator watch are, among other things, the iconic watch face, the distinctive onion-shaped crown, the closed leather strap and the surface finish of the casing. Robust aviator watches with distinctive marks that tell a story are the "heirlooms" of Laco. The unique and intentional signs of wear on the aviator watches attest to their authenticity and an eventful history - and turns each "heirloom" into a high-quality one-of-a-kind item. In other words: a legend that Laco's watchmakers build with devotion - and Laco's customers wear with passion.

The Laco Erbstück Heidelberg 39 is part of Laco's Erbstück collection. Inspired by the original 55mm sized observation watches from the 1940s, the Laco Erbstück collection's models look as if they have been worn over several generations. The handmade Laco Erbstück watch is a one of a kind. Traces of ageing give these timepieces a historic charm that usually can only be found in vintage models.  Laco has developed a unique method to achieve this special look, creating a natural patina on the watches. Scrapes, scratches, discolouration and wear and tear can be reproduced to appear as they do on old originals. All components - case, dial, hands or strap - are aged individually and by hand, using a work-intensive procedure without mechanical aids, so the ageing looks absolutely authentic and none is alike. This gives the Laco Erbstück watches the appeal of an historic timepiece, making each one completely unique - as individual and distinctive as its owner!  Technical Specifications Case size: 39mm Case material: Stainless steel case, elaborately hand-finished in an antique look with lateral engraving FL23883; crown execution like original Beobachtungsuhr Case back: Hand-aged stainless steel caseback with engraving Movement type: Automatic Movement no.:  Laco 200 based on Sellita SW200 Power reserve: Approx 42hrs Dial: Type A black matte dial with luminous indices in Superluminova C3, like the case in antique look; thermally blued steel hands with Superluminova coating, elaborate hand-finishing ages each watch individually  Glass: Sapphire crystal Water resistance: 5ATM Strap type: Leather Strap material: Closed loop pilot's brown calf vintage leather strap with rivets Buckle: Tang buckle Warranty: 2 years

Dark yet unassuming, the Choisi Heritage Pilot is as legible as it gets. Back when pilots did not have the privilege of digital instrumentation, they had to rely on their watches. That's why pilot watches are one of the easiest-to-read timepieces in the world. With a new-old-stock (NOS) FHF96 caliber, this watch is not merely a homage to the old days - it lives and breathes it. The handwound movement is the same exact caliber used in the watches issued to soldiers during WWII. Now, how's that for a conversation starter? Technical Specifications Case size: 42mm Case material: Stainless steel Case back: Sapphire exhibition caseback Movement type: Manual winding Movement no.: FHF96 Power reserve: Approx 42hrs Dial: Black aviator dial with silver hands and vintage lume Glass: Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating Water resistance: 5ATM Strap type: Leather Strap material: Calf Buckle: Stainless steel tang buckle Warranty: 1 year
