Laco Flieger Karlsruhe Pro Automatic Watch (Japan Limited Edition) 862142

Laco is a brand that was launched under the abbreviated name of the watch manufacturer Lacher & Co., which was founded in Germany in the 1920s.

In the 1930s, the brand's movements, manufactured with solid technical expertise, became popular and gradually spread its name.When World War II broke out in the 1940s, a pilot's watch equipped with a highly accurate movement was officially adopted as a navigation watch for the German Air Force, marking the brand's entry into the world of full-fledged military watches.

The glass is domed sapphire glass with anti-reflective coating .

The design features large minute and second displays and a small hour display, and the clever placement and large indexes ensure good visibility.

The Arabic numeral indexes, ▲ point, and hour and minute hands are treated with luminous coating , which stores light in bright places and glows in the dark.

The large onion-shaped crown is specially positioned at the 9 o'clock position so that it can be operated with the left hand while wearing the watch on the right wrist.

Even when wearing the watch on the left wrist, the discomfort of the crown touching the back of the hand is reduced, making this a limited edition model recommended for those who frequently operate the handlebars of cars, motorcycles, or bicycles on a daily basis.

The back of the unit is engraved with the serial number and the words "Japan Limited Edition," indicating that it is a Japan-only product. *Serial numbers cannot be selected.

The model number of the 1940 German Air Force standard model, "FL23883," classified as a navigation measuring instrument, is engraved on the side of the case.
