Laco Gets Totally Tactical With Armed Forces-Inspired Atacama Quarz UTC Watch!

Following on the success of the Atacama.2, the watch manufacturer Laco is now poised to introduce its brand-new watch, the Atacama Quarz UTC. Functional and technical, the new tool watch has already proven itself in many critical situations, and received rave reviews from sporty watch fans for its performance in everyday life and during adventures.

The new Atacama Quarz UTC boasts many of the same features as its predecessor, but is slimmer, more robust, and more precise thanks to its quartz movement – as well as considerably less expensive. It also displays a second time zone, a feature much appreciated by emergency forces. The Atacama.2 was developed together with the German Armed Forces and has also proven its high performance and reliability with other professional forces – such as the police, fire department and military.

The new Atacama Quartz UTC was designed for situations requiring maximum safety, resilience, and precision. The fundamental elements on the dial – such as the hands, numerals, and indices – are covered with the luminous material Superluminova. Thus, the Atacama always remains a reliable companion, even at night and in unfavorable lighting conditions. The two-tone hands – hour and second with Superluminova C3, minute orange – ensure intuitive readability from any angle.

The built-in 24-hour scale with its second time zone is done in orange, as is the UTC hand with its skeletonized arrowhead. The conical stainless-steel case, pressure resistant to 20 ATM, is black PVD coated to avoid unwanted reflections while wearing. The same applies to the unidirectional rotating countdown bezel and the crown positioned at twelve o’clock. To ensure high water resistance at all times, the crown should always be screwed back in after setting or adjusting the hands. An orange ring under the crown indicates whether or not the crown is screwed in all the way.

The Swiss quartz movement Ronda 515.24H ticks behind the screwed back case. The advantages of the caliber include not only the high precision of only a few seconds’ deviation per month, but also the GMT function with quick correction. What’s more, a date window is located at six o’clock, done in contrasting white for outstanding readability. Thanks to its much thinner quartz movement, the height of the case could be reduced to just 10.5 millimeters.

However, though the diameter is 46 millimeters, it has a contact area of only 34 millimeters. This makes the Atacama Quartz UTC more suitable for narrower wrists, as it wears significantly smaller than models with a comparable diameter.  The comfortable and robust rubber strap remains unchanged, keeping the watch securely in place on the wrist with a PVD-coated stainless-steel buckle. Flexible lugs between the case and the strap ensure that the watch ergonomically adapts to the wrist.

The new Atacama Quartz UTC will be available for pre-sale at Red Army Watches at a price of RM2,910. Delivery will take place from mid-November. For more, visit the Red Army Watches website
