A. Lange & Söhne made waves in 2019 when they unveiled their first sports watch, the Odysseus. This groundbreaking timepiece marked a departure for the manufacturer, introducing stainless steel and an integrated bracelet – a material and design choice that surprised both their loyal clientele and industry observers alike. Following this daring release, a year later saw the introduction of the current white gold model, featuring a dynamic rubber strap.
Crafted with the precision that characterizes any timepiece leaving their atelier, the dial boasts an intricate stellate embossing on the minute chapter and subdial. This texturing lends a subtle interplay with light, adding to the watch's allure. Both the exterior and interior of this watch exemplify tasteful execution. Turning it over, one can admire the hand-polished cal. L155.1 through the sapphire case back – a movement that marries technical prowess with aesthetic beauty.
