Description

Let this Laco Vintage B-Uhr transport you back to the skies of World War II. This is no mere wristwatch; it's a statement of history and precision. Housed in gray-varnished steel, the 55mm case demonstrates the utilitarian spirit of the original German Air Force navigators' watches designed for legibility and worn outside the pilot's flight jacket.

Beneath the plexiglass crystal lies a Type B black dial with original radium markers and hands. The manually wound 22 jewel Durowe D5 caliber beats inside with hacking seconds, an essential pilot's feature. The original oversized crown facilitates easy winding and time adjustment, even with gloved hands.

The extra-long riveted strap secures this piece of history to your wrist. This example, reference 127-560B / FL 23883 is dated to 1943 to 1945 and is in near mint condition, carefully preserved. Note that the varnish is believed to have been repainted. The Reichluftfahrtsministerium (RLM), the German Ministry of Aviation specified that such models be gray-varnished to protect against wear and reduce reflection.

Varnish is believed to have been repainted
AKA: Beobachtungsuhren Luftwaffe, Aviator Luftwaffe
