Laco Frankfurt GMT Special Models 43 mm Automatic

Berlin today, London tomorrow, New York the day after.
Business professionals, globetrotters and pilots have long been travelling between different time zones, and GMT watches were created to meet the needs of a globally connected society.

The Laco Frankfurt GMT allows two time zones to be displayed simultaneously by means of a 24-hour hand and an internal rotating bezel, which can be easily adjusted using the second crown.

Its striking stainless steel case with an instrument-style design features a dark sandblasted finish inspired by original Laco pilot watches and is equipped with additional protection against magnetic fields for professional use.

Inside beats the Laco 330 caliber, a precise automatic mechanical movement based on the proven Swiss-made Sellita 330-2, visible behind a solid steel case back decorated with an aircraft relief.

The Frankfurt GMT perfectly combines functionality, robustness and contemporary design, making it an ideal tool watch for those who regularly cross borders and time zones.

In 2020, the Laco Frankfurt GMT received the prestigious Red Dot Award for Product Design, impressing the jury with its classic yet modern appearance and successfully bringing Laco’s iconic pilot watch design from the past into the present.
