Red Army Watches Malaysia Brings in The German Timepiece Brand Laco Limited Editions Augsburg Oliv 39 and Aachen Oliv 39
PILOT DUO WITH A MILITARY LOOK!
German Timepiece Brand Laco Presents Second Limited Edition in Olive Green
If You're On A Hunt For A Brand New Watch, You're Going to Love These New Limited Editions by Laco
To kick off the model year, Red Army
Watches Malaysia aims to bring in the German timepiece brand Laco two new pilot
watches in a trendy military look. The two limited editions "Augsburg Oliv 39" and
"Aachen Oliv 39" are each limited to 250 pieces and present the classic typography of
the famous observation watches with their dials in a refined shade. The authentic vintage
charm is underlined by the bronze-colored case and the retro-look strap.
For over 100 years, pilot watches have been flying high. As one of the most successful
watch types ever, it owes its great popularity to the unmistakable design and
functionality it demonstrates in all its elements. The characteristic instrument look of the
dial is not a design gimmick, but results from its history as a technical tool in the
cockpit, which was used for positioning and navigation as well as for many flightspecific calculations. Laco stands for pilot watches like hardly any other brand and
presents not only authentic replicas of the historical originals, but also modern
interpretations. To this day, these timepieces radiate an elemental spirit of adventure
and inspire explorers and individualists with an active lifestyle.
With the two new watches, each limited to 250 pieces, Laco is following up on the
success of the "Oliv 42" models launched last year, which sold out in a very short time.
By reducing the case size by 3 mm to 39 mm, the watches have a much slimmer
appearance and can also be worn on narrower wrists. The stainless steel case is
covered with a bronze-colored PVD coating, which emphasizes the "used look"
character. The warm hue harmonizes expressively with the olive green dial. Inspired by
military units and special commandos, the natural tone provides a fitting background for
the strikingly matter-of-fact typography. The numerals, indexes and hands are coated
with the luminous Superluminova "Old Radium", which has a brownish vintage tone
during the day, but glows intensely green in the dark.
Precise drive is provided by the high-quality automatic movement Laco 21, which can
be seen through the sapphire crystal case back. It is based on the proven Miyota 821A
caliber and offers a power reserve of 42 hours, as well as a stop-second function, which
allows precise setting of the time. Optionally, Laco also offers the option of upgrading to
the Laco 31 caliber. This upgrade offers an increased power reserve of over 60 hours,
as well as thermally blued screws as an additional visual highlight. The distinctive "field
watch" look is complemented by rugged vintage-look leather straps. As a tribute to the
history of the pilot watch, they are equipped with decorative rivets, which, like the
buckle, once again pick up the color tone of the case.
The "Augsburg Oliv 39" and the "Aachen Oliv 39" are available immediately directly at
Red Army Watches stores and online www.redarmywatches.com.my at a
recommended retail price of MYR2,200.00 each.

About LACO
The German watch brand Laco, based in the black forest town Pforzheim, has a corporate history that
stretches back to 1925. The „Golden City“ has been the location for this small but long-established
manufacturer from the very beginning. This traditional company earned its fame by constructing the
legendary 55 mm sized observation watch, as one of only five licensed companies in the 1940s. Around
twenty years later, with more than 1200 employees, Laco was counted as one of Germany‘s largest watch
manufacturers. Today, the small team places emphasis again on handcraft. It is quality that counts in
production, not quantity. The products range from pilot and navy watches, through to elegant chronographs
and the purist Classic Line. But all Laco models have one thing in common: the highest quality, outstanding
design and functionality in use. In addition to their own online shop, Laco also offers for sale at the factory in
Pforzheim. From Monday to Friday, this offers an opportunity to pick up a new watch directly from where
experienced watchmakers have manufactured it intricately by hand.
