Laco 862192 Pilot Watch Köln Grau
PILOT DNA MEETS MODERN SPORT STYLE
The new Köln blends historic roots with contemporary design, reinterpreting the classic pilot watch for today. Its 41 mm case bridges the gap between 39 and 42 mm – a balanced size that suits almost any wrist. The subtly positioned crown at 4 o’clock ensures exceptional comfort and highlights the modern spirit of Laco’s first pilot watch in a true unisex format.
Brushed. Sandblasted. Distinctive.
Two case finishes make the Köln especially distinctive:
Brushed stainless steel for a fresh, modern look, or dark sandblasted for a style reminiscent of Laco’s original pilot watches. The matte surface reduces reflections and enhances the tool watch character.
The light version is available with either a metal or Fibertech strap, while the dark version comes exclusively with Fibertech and a perfectly color-matched clasp. This innovative, water-resistant material adds a sporty, technical touch and perfectly complements the watch’s 20 ATM water resistance.
A detail with depth
Another striking feature is the ceramic bezel, which subtly opens the design toward the world of sporty diver watches. Diver models have always been recognized by their rotating bezel – a distinctive tool for measuring time. The Köln adopts this design element without denying its origins as a pilot’s watch. The result is a captivating blend of classic cockpit aesthetics and modern sportiness.
Mechanical precision with a clear view
Beneath the sapphire crystal, the reliable Sellita SW200 automatic movement keeps time with proven precision. As standard, it is fitted in Elaboré grade, with the option to upgrade to the Top version for enhanced accuracy or decorative finishing.
The crystal itself can also be refined with double-sided anti-reflective coating upon request. Through the exhibition case back, the mechanical heart of the watch remains always visible – a detail true enthusiasts appreciate.
Precision in focus
The dial follows the type A layout – clear, functional, and unmistakably Laco. The B-type variant is intentionally omitted to preserve perfect legibility. Thermally blued hands, a hallmark of Laco for over 80 years, emphasize its instrument-like precision.
Thanks to Superluminova C1 on the dial, hands, and bezel, the watch remains perfectly legible in any light. The ergonomically positioned crown at 4 o’clock completes the harmonious design and ensures exceptional wearing comfort.
As versatile as life itself
With the Köln, Laco has created a watch that refuses to be defined by a single role. It’s a true pilot’s watch at heart, yet open to the spirit of modern sportiness. Equally at home in the cockpit, at the desk, or on a weekend escape.
The Köln embodies what Laco has stood for since 1925: Timepieces that bridge tradition and modernity, finding their rightful place not only in the past, but above all, in the present.
