Intro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First things first, I give a thumbs up to Laco for fostering the legacy of B-Uhr watches. It represents the brand\u2019s founding pillar, which Laco\u00a0keeps evolving<\/strong>\u00a0to engineer less specialized models. As far as I\u2019m concerned, Dortmund is my favourite Laco. Still, a wider audience looks for a military-inspired timepiece rather than its faithful re-edition, and that is what Laco did when they extended the Type A and Type B historical models to multiple, smaller sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Laco Polar 39<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While downsizing is a common practice in watchmaking to boost sales and reach a larger audience,\u00a0a 39-millimetre contemporary B-Uhr<\/strong>\u00a0might be a risk in terms of credibility and pedigree. However, the two new Laco Augsburg and Aachen Polar 39 turn heads with their new polar white dial, blue metallic indexes, and matching blue brand logo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Arabic numerals and the triangle (or arrow-shaped index) at twelve\u00a0glow turquoise in the dark<\/strong>, thanks to Super-LumiNova C3, to enhance a Type A or B dial\u2019s layout, whose essential requirement is readability.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Interestingly, the crown has a\u00a0vague onion-like design<\/strong>; it has a hybrid silhouette, i.e., a standard circular base with an onion on top. Both models have the same case diameter, are 11.55 mm thick, and showcase an extensive satin finish. Through the transparent case back, you can see the calibre Laco 2S, a Miyota 82S0-sourced movement capable of guaranteeing a\u00a0-20 to \uff0b40 seconds per day<\/strong>\u00a0accuracy and a 42-hour power reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Miyota<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As an option, Laco can\u00a0equip both watches with a\u00a0Miyota 8315 movement<\/strong>\u00a0belonging to the same category (a 3 Hz base) with up to 60 hours of power reserve and a quick date-setting mechanism, which is useless here. At first sight, it also comes with blued screws. Both watches adopt a leather strap with rivets and a classic pin buckle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Laco will produce two lots of 250 pieces for each Polar 39, whose deliveries began last February. The\u00a0440\u20ac listed price<\/strong>\u00a0makes them ultra-accessible\u00a0Laco watches and offers the chance to upgrade them per\u00a0a customer\u2019s needs technically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 39 mm size works; we might argue they\u2019re not hand-wound, yet they deliver an\u00a0original Flieger\u2019s\u00a0feel<\/strong>\u00a0and adopt a tried-and-tested self-winding movement from a respected large-volume supplier. Still, I would have gone for a closed case back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
