EDITION 98 - Glow in the dark
A tribute to the adventurers of the skies and the explorers of the night.
Our EDITION 98 is, true to its name, crafted in a strictly limited edition of only 98 pieces. It represents the fourth special edition of our MISSION 2025 on the way to our company's 100th anniversary.
The luminous Bicompax Chronograph is a true homage to the aviation pioneers of the 1930s and 1940s, paying respect to their legacy. It was designed not only to measure time but also to guide the way in darkness.
Together with the previously released EDITIONS 95, 96 and 97 which have been released in the last three years, as well as the upcoming model 99 next year, it illustrates the history of our prestigious watchmaking manufacture.
Best readability – by day and night
The circular displays are entirely coated with the luminous substance Superluminova C3. This allows them to provide orientation and precision even in the deepest darkness, emitting a greenish glow that ensures bright and clear readability.
Due to the clear contrast between the black dial and the bright numerals and indexes, the unique chronograph offers unparalleled readability even in well-lit conditions, enabling precise and clear time measurement.
Brilliant design!
The stainless steel case with a diameter of 43 millimetres has a double-domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on the inside. The combination of polished and satin-finished elements creates a visually outstanding composition with an elegant and sporty look.
The thermally blued hour and minute hands filled with Superluminova C3 build a bridge to the historic pilot watches.
The Arabic numerals and indices are also coated with luminous material. One highlight is the large, easy-to-grip pilot watch crown with the raised number "98", which identifies our new chronograph as an edition at first glance.
Authenticity guaranteed and certified.
Like all Laco editions released over the past three years, the new EDITION 98 will be delivered with a color-matched gift box, including a limited collector's pin and a certificate of authenticity.
Swiss movement - Hand-finished
The centerpiece of the chronograph is the automatic movement Laco 510, based on the Swiss Sellita SW510BHb. The caliber's embellishment with decorative cuts and thermally blued screws can be observed through the large transparent case back made of sapphire crystal.
With a power reserve of up to 62 hours, the watch remains a reliable companion even after more than two days of rest, maintaining its precision without compromise.
