Another great review Fx!

Fully agree with the pros and cons you listed. I saw this in Watches and Wonders and whilst I agree it's beautifully crafted like all Langes and has a certain charm around it (different kind of charm I cannot explain compared to regular production Langes...), I too feel it's a shame Lange didn't make it a bit bolder with a blue or black dial for eg.

It's pretty much the same feeling I get with the RL boutique edition in WG with blued hands somehow...

Having said the above, the Saxonia Auto Outsize date and the RL boutique edition are still great watches I won't mind having!

Just hoping Lange can be a bit bolder with their LE and SE going forward, design wise.

cheers

Hands on review of the Saxonia Automatic Outsize date

By: foversta : January 2nd, 2014-14:14

The Saxonia Automatic Outsize date is one of two limited edition watches from Lange & Sohne which were presented at Watches & Wonders, the show held in Hong Kong in September. It embodies the return of the three quarter rotor movement, the famous Sax-O-Ma...

Very interesting watch. I did not know that it was a limited edition. Wonderful photos and a very succinct yet thorough review. Hope to see you soon. Best wishes, Joseph

Thanks Joseph!

Yes, the two watches presented at W&W were LE. From the presentation of the Zeitwerk which occured in May, I don't remember any non-limited watch presented outside the SIHH. Fx

Thanks for this excellent review! Perhaps this is a signal...

... that a significant number of the boutique-only editions will not be very special. As Robin said, like the Richard Lange boutique edition (WG/BH), the Sax Auto Outsize Date LE is nice enough but lacks any significant distinguishing features. Notice tha...

Thanks for your input!

Aesthetically speaking, I find it closer to the Saxonia Automatic of 2007 even if it containts some details of the pictured Langematik. Good remark about the movement number! Fx

great review, nice watch, tfs. [nt]

I do agree at 100%

This watch is nearly perfect. But ALS could have embraced the oppurtunity of this limited edition to "gain ground" and do something smashing. We already talked about this but a blue or black dial would have been a great positive addition. About this dial:...

No, no Mark, don't find it too big.

At least, we don't have here a watch with a too small subdial or a subdial too close to the center. :) I understand that this size can be a surprise but since the watch has a 37mm diameter, it is fine for me. Thanks Mark! Fx

Thanks for the frank and insightful review...

.... It is very unlikely that the Saxonia Automatic would generate much excitement among most. However, I applaud the Lange team for their courage in presenting limited editions that are stripped down to the bare essentials. I'm obviously partial to the d...
