The new A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus in titanium is designed for ambitious individuals who want a watch that accompanies them in life’s most memorable moments. Its development is inspired by the concept of an artisanally perfected timepiece which is so robust and water resistant that it can also be worn in leisure and sports settings. The large day and date display can be conveniently adjusted with the prominent tapered buttons. The new brass ice-blue dial is adorned with an exclusive structure for the brand’s first titanium timepiece in a 250-watch limited edition.
The lightweight case construction with a total weight of 106.8 grams is light as a feather. With a diameter of 40.5 mm and a height of 11.1 mm, the watch is very easy to wear and its case features a combination of polished, matte, and brushed surfaces. Like the stainless steel and 18K white gold versions, the titanium Odysseus has a water resistant case with a screw-down crown that can handle a test pressure of 120 meters.
In keeping with the other versions of the Odysseus line, the titanium limited edition —250 watches—, also has a multi-part dial. In addition to the new ice-blue color, it features its own surface structure, primarily showcased by the decor on the hour ring. Here, the fine guilloched grooves extend in gentle arcs to the hour markers, creating an embedded look. This amplifies the three-dimensional effect and doubles as an exclusive signature.
The motif reappears in circular lines on the scale of the subsidiary seconds dial. The irregularly structured inner surfaces of the main and subsidiary dials contrast with the uniform lines. The argenté-colored flange ring with the minute scale forms a shadow gap and adds lucidity to the dial. Among the Arabic five-minute numerals in black, the red printed 60 stands out as a color accent. The sporty nature of the watch is emphasized by prominent hour and minute hands with the Lange-typical lance shape. Just like the notched baton appliques, they are made of polished white gold and filled with a luminous compound.
For its first watch with a titanium case, A. Lange & Söhne created a matching bracelet that forms a harmonious entity with the case.
The A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus Titanium Limited Edition is powered by the 312-part calibre L155.1 Datomatic movement that can be admired through the display case back. The name Datomatic comes from the words “date” and “automatic”. A skeletonized and partially black-rhodiumed central rotor with a centrifugal mass in 950 platinum delivers ample winding power.
When fully wound, the watch has a power reserve of 50 hours. The movement is manually engraved with a stylized wave pattern, evoking the water resistance of the watch.
The new A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus Titanium Limited Edition is exclusive sold at A. Lange & Söhne boutiques worldwide.
