A. 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 fres𒈔h 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 floraꦚl motifs. Unsurprisingly, the Odysseus quickly captivated dis🦄cerning 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 inta𝄹ct throughout the case and bracelet, and co𒁃mes complete with its full suite of accessories. This is an exceptional opportunity for enthusiasts to acquire a highly sought-after model, prized by collectors.
