Evoking the adventurous spirit of mid-century dive watches, the Lanco “Barracuda” stands as a testament to the brand’s commitment to robust design and functional beauty during the golden age of Swiss tool watches. Its sleek stainless steel case, paired with a striking matte black dial, embodies the purposeful elegance that defined the 1960s era of exploration.

The luminous hands and indexes ensure legibility under all conditions, while the automatic movement within speaks to Lanco’s pursuit of precision and reliability. The bold “Barracuda” designation hints at both the aquatic inspiration and the rugged character for which this model is celebrated.

A charming survivor from a time when form followed function, the present Ref. 237 remains a symbol of classic utilitarian design, a modest yet evocative piece of Swiss horological history.
