Retro Langendorf Watch Co - 70s Lanco Automatic - AS 2063

Lanco merged with Omega/Tissot in the 70s at the height of the quartz crisis. This Lanco automatic is probably the late production from Lanco before they ceased production in 1973 (according to the web). Its a shame as the design of the watch still looks and feels relevant by today's standard and I consider this as vastly superior than many modern fashion watches.
