“Beautiful watch. Best of the flieger type B style. Accurate Swiss movement (for an automatic). Has a large face, but I like that it very closely resembles the actual WW2 originals. Lume is impressive, and I have come to appreciate the slightly domed sapphire crystal which minimizes glare for easy readability. This style is often imitated, but there is something really special about being true to the original design.”
“Absolutely perfection! If you know about watch making history in WWII, you will not get wrong with this one. Truly reproduce the golden time of the observation watch more than half century ago! It's so unique and I feel proud to wear it. With the super stable ETA2824-2, I just get -4s per day. It's a huge and tough one but it should be! It's all about the history, not just a tool watch.”
“I wanted a German made watch and discovered the pilot watch. The Laco fit the bill. It had history, Swiss movement and looked authentic. The lum is awesome and the 45mm fills out my wrist nicely. The leather band is thick and attractive. I really like this watch, no negative issues.”
“Love the watch. Have been keeping track of how it runs with a citizen quartz that is radio synced to the U.S. time clock and it is amazing. Super nice quality down to the strap as well as the zippered box. Very precise #s and indices on the dial. Excellent visibility in low light.Could not be more satisfied with the fit and finish.
This is my second purchase from Island Watch.Both purchases were smooth transactions. Very happy with Island Watch.”
“Love it,pictures do not do it justice.I have 8"inch wrist. If your wrist is small consider 42mm, watch is highly visible because of the thin bezel.You don"t really need big diameter.Keeps very good time and even the strap and zippered watch wallet are of top notch quality.Smooth winding and operation of the crown stand out when you set te time.Very happy with purchase. Thanks Marc.”
