390 EUR
My watch
22 Oct 2026 I bought this watch from Laco's online shop on 15th July 2025: 390 EUR for the watch, plus 30 EUR for Laco's blue calf leather strap in XL (20/18 mm, matt steel buckle, blue stitching, 2 rivets per side).
Laco has since discontinued this reference, 862100.MB. Its successor is the Augsburg Blaue Stunde 42 MB 862100.2.MB, at 440 EUR.
Specs
22 Oct 2026 Corrected from my Laco invoice and Laco's product page. The first version of this table was wrong on 5 points: it listed reference NB-862101, a Hardlex crystal, a Miyota OS2035 movement, 100 m and a date.

The 42mm version of the Blaue Stunde offers a larger case diameter than the traditional Type A, providing more wrist presence while retaining the same sandwich dial construction and Fliegeruhr aesthetic. The expanded size appeals to modern wrists while honoring the original design language.
