A. Lange & Söhne made a significant milestone with the release of their first luxury sports watch in 2019, the Odysseus. This timepiece offered a fresh perspective and a departure from the brand's traditional designs. While it inherited the signature DNA of A. Lange & Söhne with its outsized day and date display, the Odysseus featured a completely new case design that distinguished it from other sports watches in the market. Unlike the typical stainless steel water-resistant timepieces envisioned by Gérald Genta, the Odysseus presented a unique aesthetic that garnered polarizing reactions from collectors upon its initial release. The Odysseus is powered by the caliber L155.1 Datomatic which showcases impeccable finishes matching A. Lange & Söhne’s tradition, including an engraved balance cock with a stylized wave pattern instead of the more commonly seen floral decoration. Not surprisingly, the Odysseus quickly captured the attention of discerning collectors and became one of the most sought-after timepieces from the brand, resulting in long waiting lists. The present Odysseus with a blue dial is in pristine condition and comes with its guarantee and presentation box. It is undoubtedly a timepiece that will catch the eye of seasoned Lange collectors, offering a unique addition to their collection.
