With this reissue, the German heritage brand is reviving not only a former model, but also a defining chapter in its own history. It is joined by an individually aged Erbstück edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot reinterpreted, but reissued: The Replika 55 was already an established part of the Laco collection in the past. Now, after several years, it returns as a watch that embodies the identity of the brand like few others. Its inspiration is the historic observation watch of the 1940s, developed as a precise navigational instrument for aviation. The requirements governing its construction and production were strict. Laco was one of only five manufacturers capable of meeting these specifications and commissioned to produce the watches. Their clear design and uncompromising functionality laid the foundation for a large part of today’s collection and continues to define what Laco is known for: authentic pilot watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a diameter of 55 millimeters, the Replika 55 deliberately defies current sizing trends. Yet its dimensions are not intended to attract attention at any cost. Instead, they follow the historic original, whose size was a functional necessity: As a navigational instrument, the watch had to allow the time to be read quickly and clearly, even under demanding conditions. The Replika 55 is therefore not a modernized pilot watch with a retro look, but an uncompromising reconstruction for collectors, connoisseurs and enthusiasts of authentic observation watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMade in Germany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Details\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMechanical Movement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eMovement: Laco 97, based on the ETA 6497.1 (handwound movement modified to feature central second)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eIncabloc shock protetction,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eSwan-neck fine regulation,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003esecond hand stop\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel case with a dark sandblasted finish,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat and anti-reflective sapphire crystal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid stainless steel case back featuring the B-Uhr markings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFunctions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHours, minutes, seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterproof to 50 meters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDial, Hands, and Strap\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eDial: mat black or individually aged by hand, arabic numerals and indices covered with Super-LumiNova® C3\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eDial designed to exactly replicate the dial of the original Model A observation watch, the dial is finished with a matt black background and Superluminova C3 indices\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan lang=\"DE\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eHands: hour and minute are covered with Super-LumiNova® C3 and thermally blued, second with luminous material, Minute and second hand with curved tip, optionally available with individual hand-aged finishing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eThe hands represent yet another design highlight of the REPLIKA.
