Laco Kiel.2 MB Schwarz Automatic Pilot Chronograph
Made in Germany
The Laco Kiel.2 MB Schwarz represents the more technical side of the modern pilot watch. Rooted in the clear instrument-style design that defines Laco’s aviation heritage, this model adds a full automatic chronograph to the classic flieger format, giving it a stronger sense of utility without losing the clean legibility that makes the category so enduring.
Its matte black dial, luminous Arabic numerals, thermally blued hands, stainless steel bracelet, and substantial 43 mm case give it the assertive wrist presence collectors expect from a true German pilot chronograph. Offered by Legend of Time as an authorized Laco dealer, this reference is available to clients who appreciate both aviation history and strong everyday mechanical character. Appointments are welcome in Highland Park for clients in the Chicago area who would like to view select watches in person.
Curator Note
The Kiel.2 MB Schwarz is compelling because it feels closer to the archetype many collectors picture when they think of a pilot watch. The black dial, bold luminous numerals, and blued hands deliver the classic flieger look, while the Laco 500 automatic chronograph movement based on the Sellita SW500 gives the watch the mechanical depth and everyday usefulness that make it more than a simple heritage piece.
