This Watch

This New Old Stock 1970s Lanco Day/Date has a 36mm brushed stainless steel tonneau case. The case gently curves towards the lugs with a lug to lug length of 41mm and a thickness of 12mm for that comfortable fit on the wrist. Polished bevelled edges transition with crisp lines. A flat rectangular crystal sits proud of the case, quintessentially 1970s in design.  The dial graduates from dark to light green in the centre with an outer minute track and applied baton indexes topped with a Tritium lume pip marking the hours. At 6 o’clock a day/date window. Broad steel hands have lume infill completing this striking dial. The text is precisely printed in white. On the reverse, a screw-down case back. Inside an automatic AS Cal. 2066, 25 jewels, 21,600 beats per hour. The movement features sweeping seconds hand, quick-set day and date. The movement was in production from 1969 until 1978. The watch comes fitted on its original 26mm integrated bracelet in brushed stainless steel with a folding clasp.
