LACO SQUAD ATACAMA 2
$1.130,00 ($941,67 excl. EU VAT)
A Laco is more than a watch. It is an expression of character. Because, no matter whether you wear a robust aviator watch, a precise chronograph or a timelessly elegant classic on your wrist: each Laco has a unique character, which is distinguished by the love of detail and passion, with which our watchmakers built it: with complex and sophisticated craftsmanship.
Hand craftsmanship instead of industry is the credo of the German’s brand. That was the way it was when the company was founded, in 1925, and it’s more relevant today than ever before…

When development work on this watch began, high standards and high quality requirements had to be met, even under the most difficult conditions. A 100% reliable “Made in Germany” thoroughbred mechanical watch is the result of work done partly in close cooperation with the German army and special units. This “Atacama” model is designed specifically for emergency forces, police, military and anyone who enjoys outdoor activities.

PRESENTATION
The first thing that will be noticed by all lovers of beautiful tocantes is probably this matt black dial, on which is superimposed indexes tinged with a green luminova, allowing an easy reading of the time.
By taking a close look at the dial, we notice that the indexes are not the only ones to be treated with this component, but that the hour, minute and second hands are also provided.
Another interesting point, this male jewel is equipped with a crown of a relatively large size, almost disproportionate. The watchmakers as well as the designers of the brand have made the choice to remain faithful to WWII airmen’s watches, benefiting from large and thick crowns …
This detail was a condition sine qua non pilots operating the controls and the handle with thick gloves, who had to be able to reassemble their watches or set the time, without having to remove their equipment.
In order to give the watch the necessary strength, the screwed-in sensitive crown has been innovatively integrated into the watch strap at the 12 o’clock position. The double articulation between the case and the strap makes this possible. As a result, the watch fits perfectly to the wrist and increases the comfort of the user. In addition, the screwed crown guarantees a seal up to 500 m waterproof.
Finally, we appreciate the rubber strap of great strength, highlighting with the greatest success the brushed case of the watch, as well as sapphire crystal deemed scratchproof.
GERMAN MANUFACTURING: SWISS MOVEMENT
The Laco Squad Atacama.2 is equipped with a well known movement, ETA 2824.2. Solid all-round, it allows an automatic winding of the watch but not only: it also benefits from manual winding and a stop-second.
The first allows a reassembly of the movement via the crown located at 12 o’clock; turning it vertically.
The stop-second meanwhile, guarantees a total stop of the seconds hand when the crown is pulled two notches.
Finally, we will appreciate one last detail; which is a real pleasure for any lover of beautiful mechanics, namely a transparent caseback. The latter allows the wearer to observe the mechanism in any condition … And at any time: Enjoy!
