help Laco Augsburg 39 FAQ
What type of movement is inside the Laco Augsburg 39?
The Laco Augsburg 39 features a reliable hand-wound mechanical movement, specifically based on the Sellita SW210. Because it lacks a heavy automatic rotor, it maintains a beautifully slim profile on the wrist, staying true to its historic aviation roots.

The Augsburg 39 features a Type A pilot dial with large, luminous Arabic numerals and a stark black surface designed for maximum legibility. Laco is one of the original German manufacturers commissioned to produce the B-Uhr military aviation chronographs during World War II.
Does the Laco Augsburg 39 have a sapphire crystal?
Yes, despite its vintage inspiration, the modern Laco Augsburg 39 utilizes a domed sapphire crystal for superior scratch resistance. This ensures the vintage aesthetic is protected against the rigors of daily wear.
How do you manually wind the Laco Augsburg 39?
Because it is a hand-wound movement, the Laco Augsburg 39 must be wound daily by turning the crown clockwise. You will typically feel the mainspring tighten after about 40 to 50 turns to reach full power reserve.
