Smaller, flatter, lighter - Pilot watches for every day
In response to frequent requests and inquiries, we have added two models with quartz movements to our collection. The new editions of the Zürich and Genf represent the affordable entry into our pilot watch range. With a diameter of just 40 mm and a height of only 9 mm, both models are even more comfortable to wear than their predecessors - even on slim wrists. This makes them the ideal, contemporary, and suitable for everyday use complement to our mechanical pilot watches.
Nevertheless, the same applies to the Zürich.2 and Genf.2: optimal readability, precision and reliability. With these virtues, which were defined in the pioneering days of aviation, pilot watches have proven themselves over many decades as robust companions on the wrist. Appreciated by pilots and watch enthusiasts, we are continuing this tradition with our Laco brand by reissuing the popular Zürich.2 and Genf.2 timepieces. Both classics are now available with and without date display.
Like all Laco pilot's watches, the new timepieces offer the performance shaped by decades of know-how, as well as classic attributes: The expression of freedom and unique authenticity.
Genf.2 – Type A
A round stainless steel case, a matte black dial with distinctive typography, as well as the characteristic marking at the twelve and the brown leather strap with two rivets revive the authentic DNA of historical pilot and observation watches.
Zürich.2 – Type B
For optimum readability in any light and with maximum contrast, the greenish luminous material Superluminova C3 is used on the hands, numerals and hour markers. The dial is protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, which is optionally available with anti-reflective coating on both sides. High-quality Swiss quartz movements from Ronda ensure precise timekeeping.
Quality in a contemporary Design
All model variants combine the advantages of the proven design with a contemporary case diameter and a high-precision quartz movement. Thanks to the reduced dimensions of the case, the subtle facelift of the Genf.2 and Zürich.2 takes on a slimmer and more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Comfortable to wear
The watches nestle even better on slender wrists thanks to their adjusted height. They fit naturally under the sleeve of a flight jacket, but are also comfortable to wear under a shirt cuff.
