Dignified elegance! Understated luxury! The ultimate sports watch!

WOW, what a ticking beauty the new ODYSSEUS is! I love its total independent design and the fact that A. Lange & Söhne developed the L155.1 DATOMATIC movement with a new & unique weekday indication.

I had the ODYSSEUS on my wrist, the watch fits perfectly and it looks really cool.

Well, now I am very curious to read your comments and to discuss the ODYSSEUS with you.

In brief this is what you need to know about the new A. Lange & Söhne sporty-elegant watch:

The new ODYSSEUS is a watch for people who admire fine watchmaking but live active lives.
The design of the stainless-steel case with a diameter of 40,5 millimeters and a height of 11,1 millimeters, featuring an integrated stainless-steel bracelet, embraces traditional A. Lange & Söhne brand elements and reinterprets them.

This applies particularly to the sculpted, slightly cantilevered middle band of the three-part case. Its surfaces are decorated with a satin contour finish and the edges are emphasized with a chamfer.

The combination of brushed surfaces and chamfered edges is echoed on the lugs and links of the massive stainless-steel bracelet. Specially sealed, tapered buttons for correcting the date and the day of week are arranged at 2 and 4 o’clock.

The new ODYSSEUS is the first A. Lange & Söhne watch with a water-resistant case and a screw-down crown. The watch is guaranteed waterproof up to 120 meters.
