The Laco Pilot Watch Special Models Spirit Of St.Louis / Stainless Steel / Black takes a 20 mm strap: measure between the lugs and that is the only number you need. We list 1,170 straps in that width. A field or pilot watch at heart, it suits canvas, nylon and matte leather more than polished calf. With a 42 mm case, a thicker strap balances the case. Most straps here come with quick-release spring bars, so the swap takes a minute and no tool.
We do not sell watches. This page exists to find the straps that fit this one.
