The predecessor, Atacama.2, was a collaborative feat with the German Armed Forces, proving its mettle in the line of duty with various professional units including the police, fire department, and military. The Atacama Quartz UTC, born from a pursuit of utmost safety, resilience, and precision, stands as a testament to Laco's dedication to crafting tools that endure the most rigorous conditions. Crucial elements on the dial, including hands, numerals, and indices, are coated with the luminous Superluminova material, ensuring unwavering reliability even in low-light settings.

Facilitating seamless readability from every angle, the two-tone hands – hour and second with Superluminova C3, minute in vibrant orange – reflect an intuitive design approach. The watch's built-in 24-hour scale, dedicated to the second time zone, is boldly showcased in orange, harmonizing with the UTC hand featuring a meticulously skeletonized arrowhead.

The sleek stainless-steel case, pressure-resistant up to 20 ATM, is tastefully enveloped in black PVD coating to thwart unwanted reflections. This stealthy finish extends to the unidirectional rotating countdown bezel and the uniquely positioned twelve o'clock crown. For consistent water resistance, a simple but effective practice is recommended – ensuring the crown is securely screwed in after adjustments. A distinctive orange ring beneath the crown serves as a visual cue for its locked position. Beneath the secured back case, the Swiss quartz movement Ronda 515.24H propels the watch with precision. Notably, the caliber flaunts not only exceptional accuracy with mere seconds of monthly deviation but also a GMT function with swift correction. Moreover, a date window, strategically located at six o'clock in contrasting white, elevates readability.

Through meticulous engineering of the quartz movement, the case height has been artfully reduced to a mere 10.5 millimeters. Despite its 46-millimeter diameter, the watch graciously embraces wrists with a 34-millimeter contact area, making it particularly suitable for narrower wrists while still exuding a substantial presence. The reliable and sturdy rubber strap, unchanged in design, secures the watch snugly with a PVD-coated stainless-steel buckle. Flexible lugs seamlessly adapt to the wearer's wrist, ensuring ergonomic comfort.
