A. Lange & Sohne ODYSSEUS Stainless steel with dial in dark-blue replica
$573.77
The three-part stainless-steel case awards the ODYSSEUS its distinct design. Especially striking is the sculpted, slightly cantilevered middle band. Its surfaces are decorated with a satin contour finish and the edges are emphasised with a chamfer. The combination of brushed surfaces and chamfered edges is echoed on the lugs and links of the massive stainless-steel bracelet. The dark-blue dial features white-gold hands and appliques. The hour and minute hands as well as all hour markers are luminous.
A class of its own.
The ODYSSEUS’ key features.
Bracelet and buckle.
The stainless-steel bracelet is highly comfortable to wear. Its length can be adjusted by up to 7 millimetres in small steps without opening the safety deployant buckle. Embossed with the Lange signature, the pusher just needs to be gently pressed and the bracelet can be pulled or pushed to alter the length.
Water resistance.
The ODYSSEUS is the first Lange watch with a water-resistant case made of steel, which also features a screwed caseback and screw-down crown. Its tapered buttons are specially sealed. With this construction, the ODYSSEUS withholds a test pressure of 12 bar and can be worn for swimming and other activities.
New escapement system.
The ODYSSEUS’ calibre operates at a comparatively high frequency of 4 hertz. This makes it less sensitive to external factors. The counter-sunk poising screws ensure there is less turbulence despite the higher frequency. Together with the freely oscillating balance spring made in-house, the minimised air resistance has a positive impact on the movement’s rate accuracy and energy efficiency.
Outsize date and day-of-week display.
Opposite the Lange outsize date in the classic double aperture on the right, an equally large day-of-week display is located on the left side of the dial. The numerals and letters are set in white against a blue background. With a size of 2.4 millimetres, they are clearly legible without a magnifying glass. They are part of a mechanism that was developed especially for the ODYSSEUS.
Automatic calibre.
The automatic manufacture calibre L155.1 DATOMATIC, tailor-made for the ODYSSEUS, has a diameter of 32.9 millimetres. It completely fills the case. The central rotor with its centrifugal mass made of platinum provides a reliable energy supply. It is adorned with the raised DATOMATIC lettering, which stands for the combination of date and automatic winding.
