Laco Bremerhaven 42.5 Handwound Navy Watch
Made in Germany
The Laco Bremerhaven 42.5 is a handwound German navy watch that pairs marine chronometer influence with a more substantial modern case size. Its 42.5 mm stainless steel case, black matte dial, railway minute track, and small seconds display create a disciplined, highly legible design rooted in traditional deck watch style.
Inside is the handwound Laco 98 movement based on the ETA 6498.2, finished with Côtes de Genève, thermally blued screws, and sunray-finished ratchet and crown wheels. With its fluted bezel, oversized sapphire display back, and strong visual balance, the Bremerhaven 42.5 offers the character of a classic marine timekeeper with the mechanical presence collectors appreciate in a manually wound watch.
Curator Note
The Bremerhaven 42.5 stands out for the qualities many collectors want in a true navy-style watch: handwound movement, small seconds, strong dial symmetry, and a case design that feels both classic and substantial. The larger format gives it more presence than a traditional deck watch, while the movement finishing and marine-inspired details make it especially rewarding for someone who enjoys slower, more intentional watchmaking.
Why Collectors Choose the Bremerhaven 42.5
Handwound mechanical movement: Powered by the Laco 98 caliber based on the ETA 6498.2, offering the tactile appeal and traditional character many collectors seek.
Marine-inspired dial design: The black matte dial, railway minute circle, Arabic numerals, and small seconds at 6 reflect classic navy watch proportions.
Decorated movement: Côtes de Genève, thermally blued screws, and sunray-finished wheels add a higher level of visual depth through the display back.
Balanced 42.5 mm case: The larger case gives the watch stronger wrist presence while keeping the clean symmetry of a deck-style timepiece.
Made in Germany: Crafted with the precision, finishing, and historical design language that define Laco’s watchmaking heritage.
