Odysseus
So far, this collection, named after Odysseus, the mythological Greek hero famed for his arduous pursuits, constitutes just a limited number of models which, however, are exceptional in many respects. For instance, it includes the very first timepiece to be rendered in robust steel featuring a steel bracelet that A. Lange & Söhne has put into regular production, yet this sporty elegant model still very much bears the brand’s DNA. This means it also features the signature enlarged apertures, one of which clearly indicates the date at the three position and on the opposite side another aperture of equal size shows the day of the week. To speed set these two displays, simply use the two push buttons cleverly integrated in the case at either side of the crown. They are exactly what sums up the brand’s style, subtly inconspicuous and yet reliably functional at the same time.
Boasting a huge 50-hour power reserve, this model is driven by a Datomatic automatic movement. Its 40.5 mm steel – or gold – case is water-resistant to a depth of 120 m so no need to take it off when you go for a swim. Using its ingeniously designed clasp you can effortlessly adjust the bracelet to the exact length desired.

Something more…
In the past, the brand would only make steel watches in very small numbers, usually as part of highly limited editions. With the Odysseus we are witnessing the onset of a new era in which steel luxury watches have also been granted a permanent place in the collection. What remains the same, however, is that each and every one of these timepieces is beautifully handcrafted with that painstaking attention to detail so typical of the much sought-after German manufacture.
