Laco Augsburg Grau 39 Automatic Pilot Watch | Ref. 862161
Laco 1925Laco Augsburg Grau 39 Automatic Pilot Watch
The Laco Augsburg Grau 39 gives the traditional German pilot watch a quieter, more contemporary character. Its matt grey Type A dial, satin-finished stainless steel case, and grey riveted leather strap create a refined monochromatic appearance while preserving the clear, functional design associated with Laco pilot watches.
Thermally blued hands introduce a subtle change of color as they catch the light, shifting from metallic blue to nearly black. Super-LumiNova BGW9 on the hands, numerals, and markings appears crisp white during the day and produces a blue-green glow in darker conditions.
We selected the Augsburg Grau 39 for its distinctive combination of traditional pilot-watch form and restrained modern color. The compact 39 mm case makes it comfortable for everyday wear, while the thermally blued hands, monochromatic grey design, and visible automatic movement give this version a memorable identity within Laco’s Pilot Watches Basic collection.
At a Glance
Why the Augsburg Grau Stands Out
Classic Type A pilot layout: Large Arabic hour numerals and the orientation triangle at 12 o’clock create an immediately recognizable pilot-watch display designed for clear and direct time reading.
Monochromatic grey design: The matt grey dial, grey leather strap, and silvery satin-finished case form a restrained palette that pairs easily with both casual and more tailored clothing.
Thermally blued hands: The metallic frames of the hour and minute hands change visually with the light, adding depth and color without disturbing the clean dial design.
Super-LumiNova BGW9: The luminous material appears white against the grey dial in daylight and glows blue-green in low-light conditions.
The 39 mm diameter, 11.55 mm height, and 46.5 mm lug-to-lug measurement create balanced proportions for a broad range of wrist sizes. At approximately 81.5 grams including the strap, the watch maintains a comfortable everyday presence.
The Laco 2S automatic movement is based on the Miyota 82S0 caliber. It provides a power reserve of approximately 42 hours, includes a hacking-seconds function for precise time setting, and can be viewed through the exhibition caseback.

Laco uses vintage leather for this strap. Because leather is a natural material, slight variations in color and surface texture are expected and make each strap individual.
