How about getting to know the watch that has the durability of an airplane tank?
If we recall Laco's story in brief;
What began in 1925 in Pforzheim as Lacher & Co. by Frieda Lacher and Ludwig Hammel evolved into Laco, becoming a symbol of German watchmaking. In the 1930s, it gained fame with its legible, precise Flieger watches for pilots; today, it continues its legacy with modern collections featuring Japanese and Swiss calibers and sapphire crystals.
Today we will talk about that durable watch;

Laco wasn't satisfied with just getting this watch certified. They also added something less obvious: a 904L steel case. While the 904L case we've seen and known for Rolex isn't often favored by other brands, Laco has broken this habit and opted for 43,5L steel for its 904mm sandblasted case. This minimizes both scratches and reflections.
Laco Hamburg holds DIN 8330 certification. DIN 8330 is a certification program that tests everything a pilot's watch should have. The German Institute for Standardization (DIN – formerly Deutsche Industrie Norm) is Germany's leading national standardization organization. In short, they test for a wide range of conditions, including high g-forces, physical impact, high vibration, and temperature changes. This test, which lasts approximately 12 weeks, is crucial for a pilot's watch.
Not content with 904L steel, Laco opted for ceramic for the bezel. The ceramic bezel, which marks the beginning of the mid-to-upper segment, elevates the watch to a higher level, aiming for the ultimate in performance. Laco claims that the crown's position and size allow it to be wound even with gloves on, a crucial feature for a pilot. The orange GMT hand also adds a touch of character to the watch.
