Its finely textured geometric surface creates depth and changes character depending on the light, while the rose-gold-tone Arabic numerals and markers provide an elegant contrast. The separate small-seconds register completes the balanced mid-century design. The dial is signed LANCO – MOD. 11 DE LUXE – 17 RUBIS, while the movement is also signed Lanco and Swiss Made.

The chrome-plated case shows scratches, small marks and areas of wear consistent with its age. The case back shows light surface scratches and signs of previous use. The textured waffle dial has developed an attractive natural vintage patina, with visible ageing and discoloration particularly around the outer perimeter. The applied numerals, indexes and hands retain their warm tone and contribute greatly to the watch's period character. The acrylic crystal shows normal signs of use. The generic brown leather strap remains visually appropriate to the vintage character of the watch. The watch has not been tested for water resistance; therefore water resistance is not guaranteed.

Story & Heritage Lanco was a historic Swiss watch brand associated with the Langendorf Watch Company, one of Switzerland's important watch manufacturers of the 19th and 20th centuries. The company became known for producing reliable mechanical watches that combined solid Swiss engineering with attractive, accessible designs. During the mid-20th century, Lanco produced a wide variety of classic wristwatches, and models such as this Mod. 11 De Luxe capture the design language of the post-war era particularly well. The combination of a textured waffle dial, applied warm-tone numerals, small seconds and a 17-jewel manual-winding movement gives this watch considerable vintage charm. At approximately 37 mm, it also offers a notably wearable case size for a watch of its period. A characterful vintage Swiss timepiece for collectors who appreciate original-looking dials, traditional manual-winding mechanics and distinctive 1950s design. Internal Reference Number - FLO-183
