I would be excited about a steel Lange
as long as it is not of a Zeitwerk which is too large for me.
Tim Mosso reporting steel Lange coming
What do you folks think about a steel Lange conceptually? I am not certain if i'm allowed to post a link so i won't He has no details but it's a safe inference it will be something to compete with nautilus et al
Finally? They caved.
Ti Datograph on a Ti bracelet would have been interesting, but I guess we’ll start with some steel.
I for one am excited to see it. I hope Lange delivers, assuming this isn't mere rumor...
After witnessing the madness surrounding PP, AP and Rolex steel models, it's no wonder that Lange, with perhaps some nudging from Richemont, has decided (again, if not mere rumor) to jump into steel. Steel sports watch? Or just a steel watch in general?
i think something like FPJ CB or - more a daily watch between 15k$ to 20k$
it will avoid the trap of ALS trying to get into the zone of Nautilus, Subs or GMT ! an 1815 steel version will be a good daily wearer imho.
He didn’t specify
But it’s extremely unlikely imo that it will be a steel version of an existing watch.
after seeing his video
I was quite intrigue. Highly possible and wish it to happen with the hype around some steel models from PP, AP, Rolex going out of control. Doubt they will waterproof existing model, but hope they dont go too avant-garde with their design. Sport watch wit...
I'm surprised they haven't made it sooner!
Very curious to find out what it will look like assuming the rumors are true.

I’m not really sure
Lange in its modern iteration has not been around that long. I’m worried about their brand perception if they release a steel sports model. AP with its long history became defined by its steel sports watch and Patek is trying to not to succumb to that mal...
It saddens me when my favorite watch brand caves in to a trend....
...when their main claim to fame was being avante garde (with the Lange 1, Datograph and [lately] the Zeitwerk). IMHO, if someone is debating between a nautilus and a SS Lange in terms of which brand to enter...then they aren’t really considering the enti...
I’m not really into Lange, but if confirmed, this sounds like a big development for them...I’ll be interested to follow.
If done the right way, a SS sports watch might change quite a lot the perception most people have of this brand...If done the wrong way, it will be a disaster😉 My sincere best wishes to Lange!
Just thinking about this again, having read some of the comments.
Many of us, myself included, seem to be a little critical of ALS for potentially introducing a sports watch in steel. (And this is a widely held assumption, that it will be a sports model). But, this is exactly what AP did in 1972 with the RO and Patek di...
Do we really need another over hyped steel watch?
Let's wait on the result but I am not so sure whether a steel sports watch fits nicely into the brand image.
I doubt he really knows anything
at this point for certain. All new releases are under embargo if they are for real. Fun to speculate, however.
I heard it’s going to be a new collection with steel bracelets.
I hope this is not true. I’d rather see a steel Datograph, or the same same caliber in a new sports case. Now THAT would be cool. I hope they dip their toes slowly into the water and don’t release four or fives models in new collection. If a new collectio...
Yes, there is no way we will see a steel Dato...and we shouldn’t.
That would be a big FU to the PT Dato owners
With a new movement, perhaps?
Using the Dato movement would be the wrong move for Lange, even if I would selfishly love to see that happen.
Indeed a problem. Any non-Dato chrono movement would be measured against the great Dato movement.
Patek has done it with an automatic chrono, which has gained much traction; but of course Patek has very different brand perception.
That’s true. I know I’m very excited to see what Lange has up its sleeve
I’ll be happy with anything as long as it’s done well and keeps some DNA. As summer closes it is something to look forward to
Is this really happening?
I did read yesterday that ALS hinted at the next big thing not being far away and to keep tuned... is this perhaps the much anticipated ALS sports watch or something else? If they were to do a sports watch, I feel for it to be a success, it would need to ...
It seems, that for several people here this is not just a rumor...
I would say, that they have seen any prototypes or read any press materials wich is just under Embargo. I expect the watch at 24.10.2019 for 25th anniversary or around 20th of december when the first release of 2020 SIHH novelties will be released. I woul...
Not just a rumor - It is real, and coming soon.
I was lucky enough to get a sneek peek of the new release a few days ago. I was sworn to secrecy so I cannot divulge the details other than it is a steel Lange competitor to the Nautilus And Royal Oak. It is a cool watch with some nice Lange DNA, but lack...
Really disappointed if it’s remotely similar to naut/ royal oak
Why would a Lange buyer want a “copycat” watch?
Although the Lange steel watch won't be a "copycat," comparisons to those models invariably will happen...
... just because it'll be a steel, standard-production "sports watch" (though it'll be interesting to see if Lange classifies it as such or if their marketing folks steer clear of such labels).
I just hope it’s not 1970s style integrated bracelet
I want to be able to throw a strap on it
Not inexpensive.
This new release will not be a ‘cheap’ entry into the Lange brand. For the same money you could purchase a brand new gold 1815 and still have enough left over to pick up a respectable sport/diving watch to wear to the pool or beach. I personally cannot un...
