Laco Karlsruhe Pro Automatic Pilot Watch
Made in Germany
The Laco Karlsruhe Pro Ref. 862142 takes the traditional pilot watch and pushes it closer to its original instrument roots. With its Type B dial layout, featuring an inner hour ring and outer minute track, this model reflects the functional design used in historical aviation watches.
Built with a 40mm stainless steel case, automatic movement, and upgraded construction including a screw-down crown and 20 ATM water resistance, the Karlsruhe Pro offers a more technical and purpose-driven interpretation of the flieger watch. Available from Legend of Time as an authorized Laco dealer, this model is ideal for those looking for a more instrument-focused pilot watch experience.
Curator Note
If the Stuttgart Pro feels clean and minimal, the Karlsruhe Pro feels more like a true cockpit instrument. The Type B dial adds depth and technical character, making this the choice for those who want a pilot watch with a stronger aviation identity while still keeping everyday wearability.
Why This Model Works
Type B pilot dial: Inner hour ring and outer minute track for a more technical aviation layout.
Automatic mechanical movement: Based on the reliable Sellita SW200 platform.
40mm balanced case: Strong presence with comfortable everyday wearability.
Enhanced durability: Screw-down crown and 20 ATM water resistance.
Thermally blued hands: A signature flieger detail with strong legibility.
