A few turns of the crown every morning: that is how the day begins with the Leipzig, just as it began on board more than 80 years ago. The Leipzig is a historically faithful pilot watch with a hand-wound movement and type B dial – minute track on the outside, hour ring on the inside, exactly as the navigators read their observation watch.What makes it special lies in the details. The case has the barrel shape of the historical observation watches, the lugs are straight, and the solid case back is pressed in rather than screwed down. This is how the observation watches of the 1940s were built. Of the five historic manufacturers worldwide, only Laco still makes them in this original construction.Everything else follows the original too: a dark sandblasted finish to prevent reflections in the cockpit, the engraving FL23883 on the side, a domed sapphire crystal and heat-blued hands that glow at night just like the numerals and markers. At 42 mm, it suits today's wrists without losing its proportions.The brown riveted calfskin strap recalls the historical pilot straps. A watch for anyone looking for an authentic pilot watch, not just one in pilot style. If you prefer something more modern, choose the Pilot Watches BASIC collection.Movement:hand winding movement Laco 210basic movement Sellita SW 210Case:dark sandblasted stainless steel case with "FL23883" engraving, domed and anti-reflective Sapphire crystal, solid case back with engravingDial:numbers and figures with Superluminova C3Hands:thermical blued steelhands filled with Superluminova C3Strap:brown calf leather strap with rivetsBox:Watch box incl. cardboard boxdiameter:42,0 mmheight:12,8 mmlug width:20,0 mmlug to lug:50,0 mmwaterproof:up to 10 ATMweight:91,0 g (incl. strap)Arm circumference:14,5 - 20 cm
