Lange & Söhne achieved a remarkable milestone in 2019 with the launch of their first luxury sports watch, the Odysseus. This timepiece marked a bold departure from the brand's traditional designs, offering a fresh perspective while retaining key elements of the A. Lange & Söhne signature style. Notably, the Odysseus features the brand's iconic oversized day and date display, but with a completely new case design that sets it apart from other sports watches on the market. Unlike the classic stainless steel, water-resistant timepieces popularized by Gérald Genta, the Odysseus introduced a distinct aesthetic that initially drew mixed reactions from collectors. At its heart, the Odysseus is driven by the Caliber L155.1, an exceptional movement that upholds A. Lange & Söhne’s renowned craftsmanship. It boasts exquisite finishing, including an intricately engraved balance cock featuring a stylized wave pattern—a modern departure from the brand’s traditional floral motifs. Unsurprisingly, the Odysseus quickly captivated discerning collectors, becoming one of the brand’s most coveted models and leading to extensive waiting lists. This particular Odysseus, featuring a striking blue dial, is offered in pristine condition with factory protective stickers still intact throughout the case and bracelet, and comes complete with its full suite of accessories. This is an exceptional opportunity for enthusiasts to acquire a highly sought-after model, prized by collectors.
