Laco Augsburg Blaue Stunde 39 MB Automatic Pilot Watch
Made in Germany
The Augsburg Blaue Stunde introduces a more atmospheric interpretation of the classic pilot watch. Rooted in Laco’s historic flieger design, this model softens the traditional tool-watch aesthetic with a deep blue dial inspired by the fleeting “blue hour” the moment just after sunset when the sky takes on a rich, almost cinematic tone.
The result is a piece that remains highly legible and functional, yet more refined and versatile for everyday wear. Bold Arabic numerals, the signature triangle at twelve, and strong Super-LumiNova ensure clarity in low light, while the 39 mm case offers balanced proportions that feel true to the wrist without overwhelming it.
Curator Note
This is one of the most wearable Laco pilot watches. The 39 mm case hits the sweet spot for daily use, and the Blaue Stunde dial gives it a quieter, more considered presence compared to traditional matte black fliegers. It keeps the heritage intact, but feels more modern and personal on the wrist.
Why Collectors Choose the Augsburg Blaue Stunde
Iconic pilot watch design: Classic Type A dial with triangle marker at 12 o’clock for instant orientation.
Distinctive blue dial: Inspired by the “blue hour,” offering a softer, more refined alternative to traditional black flieger dials.
Balanced 39 mm case: Ideal proportions for everyday wear, fitting a wide range of wrists comfortably.
Reliable automatic movement: Laco 21 caliber based on the Sellita SW200, known for durability and ease of service.

On the Wrist
At 39 mm, the Augsburg Blaue Stunde wears clean and balanced, with enough presence to feel substantial without leaning oversized. The slightly darker blue dial reads almost black in low light, then reveals its depth in natural light, giving the watch a dynamic character throughout the day. It transitions effortlessly from casual to more refined settings.
