1970s Lanco Automatic 'Railroad' on Bracelet 38.5mm 35565

Here we have a 1970s Lanco Automatic 'Railroad' on its original Lanco bracelet, reference 35565, featuring a 38.5mm Chrome case that curves over your wrist with strong, era-specific geometric architecture. The bold, sculpted flanks lead to a 46mm lug-to-lug length and a 13mm case thickness, delivering a solid, commanding profile that sits comfortably on the wrist. On the right side, a single crown sits neatly integrated into the case band to adjust the time and calendar functions. A deep knurled bezel with a black and red 60-minute dive insert holds a protective crystal above a highly legible, utilitarian 'Railroad' style dial. This dial features a prominent, orange outer chapter ring resembling train tracks, surrounding a precisely executed minute track above high-contrast Tritium block indices marking the hours, designed for effortless readability. High-visibility white baton hands sweep across the dial, complemented by an orange central seconds hand to complete this rugged, transit-inspired layout. At 3 o'clock, a framed date window. At 12 o’clock, the classic Lanco motif sits cleanly printed, anchoring a design that reflects the brand's early 1970s era alongside the Omega and Tissot SSIH group. On the reverse, a stainless steel case back keeps the inner mechanisms secure. Inside is a reliable Swiss automatic AS Cal. 2066 movement that runs at a steady beat rate for dependable self-winding performance. The watch comes paired with its rare matching 20mm stainless steel integrated link bracelet and folding clasp; it fits up to a 7.2-inch wrist.
