Why Collectors Choose the Augsburg 42
Classic Type A dial: The straightforward layout places large hour numerals inside a clear outer minute track, creating the highly legible instrument-style appearance associated with traditional pilot watches.
Strong wrist presence: The 42 mm diameter and 50 mm lug-to-lug measurement give the watch a purposeful pilot-watch profile while the curved lugs support a comfortable fit.
Excellent low-light visibility: The dial numerals, markings, and hands use Super-LumiNova C3 for clear nighttime reading.
Traditional pilot strap: The brown calf leather strap features rivet detailing that complements the functional character of the original observation-watch design.
On the Wrist
At 42 mm in diameter, 11.75 mm high, and 50 mm from lug to lug, the Augsburg 42 has the strong visual presence expected from a pilot watch. The brown calf leather strap fits wrist circumferences of approximately 16 to 21 cm.
Automatic Movement
The Laco 2S automatic movement is based on the Miyota 82S0 caliber. It provides a power reserve of approximately 42 hours and includes a hacking-seconds function for more precise time setting.
