Yeah...Lange's best watches to-date are big. And their thickness is always driven by the features of the movement. So: no issue for me (perhaps especially not with a sports watch).
White gold or steel ?
Which of these two A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus appeals the most to you ? White gold ref. 363.068 / LSLS3633AD with a grey dial Steel ref. 363.179 / LSLS3635BA with a blue dial Dimensions: 40.5 x 11.1 mm. Automatic caliber L155.1 Predictably, because I like ...
The grey is attractive
But it’s the blue for me here, just because I prefer the color . The bonus is the alternating textures on the blue dial 👌🏻
Taking personal preference for dial color out of it...
...I would opt for steel. Lighter, more scratch-resistant, and cheaper. My only caveat is something like platinum or tantalum. I've always wanted one watch in that type of metal...
I prefer the white gold model,
but with a different strap. But I also have to agree with G07 that I don’t love this watch. I have never liked the dial layout and felt that Lange, which basically makes all their watches in precious metal, jumped on the steel sports watch with integrated...
I fully understand your perspective,
especially as I personally went for an AE! Best, Emmanuel ...
Beautiful watch 🔥
I don’t know what the dial design is called but it looks incredible.
It's inspired by the iris of an eagle. So it's called iris pattern, I think.
I'm glad you like it, thank you. Best, Emmanuel
Thank you Gatsby! It's the regular edition with grey dial, not a LE.
Basic model, but perfect for me. Best, Emmanuel
Ah ! :-)
My mistake, I thought that was the limited edition grey dial cadence 8hf. Best Gatsby
I understand your choice, Larry!
This blue dial has very nice textures. But, steel or white gold, I think the Odysseus is quite hard to get. Best, Emmanuel
I’ve seen steel, white gold and titanium (and the chrono)
but only behind a display window at W&W two years ago. So I haven’t been able to try one on unfortunately.
Based upon dials, I agree with you about the WG.
However I have never gotten my eyes around to this watch on a strap. I’m not fully there on the bracelet either, but it makes far more sense to me aesthetically. And so, I would like the grey dial on a bracelet please !
Great post and question, Emmanuel.
I like them both (thank goodness the ARCAP rotor is no-longer painted gold...). Of the two, I prefer the original with the blue dial. But I'd buy neither of them - and I've been given the opportunity to do so. Like others have perhaps hinted at here, I ju...
Interesting thoughts.
I fully understand your feeling concerning ALS's "me too". And, yes, the Chronograph is appealing (but its dimensions are big: 42.5 x 14.2)! Best, Emmanuel
I understand this preference: the blue dial is very well done here.
And warm welcome to WatchProSite! Best, Emmanuel
Steel for me
I could only get one and debated the two because it would be on the secondary market. In the end, I realized I wanted the bracelet, the blue dial, and I didn’t need another sports watch with different strap options. No regrets but both are beautiful ...
If I had to pick one without the stupid AD "games" and "allocations" then I'd go with the white gold too because for some reason it trades for a lot less than the SS lol
I have the SS coming, but kind of by luck that the new sales director was helpful.
