Gentlemen, gifting a watch to a ‘Pilot watch enthusiast’ just got…polar. Laco, those legendary Germans who practically invented Flieger watches back when biplanes were cutting edge, have dropped the Polar Limited Edition ($540), and it’s cooler than a penguin in lederhosen. Imagine a blindingly white dial, like fresh arctic snow, punctuated with icy blue markers. Inspired by “uncompromising environments,” this watch is apparently ready for anything…even your Monday morning meeting.
Limited to a mere 250 of each model (Augsburg or Aachen – choose wisely, gents, this is horological Sophie’s Choice!), these German-engineered beauties boast a Miyota movement that’s tougher than schnitzel on day-old bread. Sapphire crystal? Check. Brown leather strap? Naturally. Gift this, and he’ll be so punctual, so stylish, and so ready for any kind of weather (even mild office air conditioning), it’s almost unfair. Just be prepared for the thank you to be delivered in enthusiastic, albeit slightly confused, German. Schnell! They’re going faster than you can say “limited edition.”
