Thanks a lot for your
comprehensive advice.
I share your thoughts.
For me personally the Zeitwerk Date is from an aesthetic and functional point of view the most interesting and appealing concept.
Which version do you favour the most?

Zeitwerk Date
The more I follow up with the Zeitwerk Date the more this watch starts to fascinate (haunt??) me. The longer PR (72 hours) is very practical for me since I like to change watches after one or two days. The solution for the date is very appealing and gives...
If you got the wrist for it...
It wears pretty much the same as the larger Zeitwerk models, which I prefer. Only handled the locked movement/dummy piece, but the functions seem to be pretty intuitive and easy to use. Solid choice for your first Lange. ...
Thank you,
that is a very helpful answer. Are you tempted to pull the trigger? Cheers Thomas
Tempted for sure...
...but I'll see if they introduce any new dial color options in the future. Anyway, letting the funds recover since my last Lange purchase first. Lol.
if that was meant for me...
thanks! lol just an extension of the instagram handle. Been lurking for a while now.
LOL!
Now I understand your name better! 😁 My name should be „Wantstoreducehiscolletionsignifiantlybuthasalreadyfivenewwatchesinfocuswhichhavetobesiftedoutorfunded“ 😬 Best Thomas
Yes, less is more.
Most of the time. But above all stands for me: form follows function. And the Date has one huge advantage: the longer PR of 72 hours. 36 hours are too little for my daily needs. Amitiés Thomas
I've tried the Zeitwerk Date on many times.
Was underwhelmed when it first came out but it's grown on me to the point where I am definitely considering it. It is noticeably larger than the original Zeitwerk but also noticeably thinner than the striking time. The new movement with the longer power r...

Which version do I favor?
Really depends on what day you ask. I like them all and only know that I prefer them in white gold.
I dont like the zeitwerk
Yet the new date makes it more balanced. I think that really is the best version.
As a Striking Time Owner...
I've been able to handle the new Zeitwerk date and for me, I much prefer the Striking Time, which is fortunate, as that's what I already own If you need a date on your watch then the Zeitwerk Date is the watch you'd want, but if you like the idea of a chi...
Dear IndieFan,
thank you very much for your comprehensive and interesting reply. The date is not so necessary for me. And I am not searching for a dress watch but for something „special“. Like you I prefer the Striking Time and the Date over the standard design. They ad...
Thanks for sharing Thomas, but...
I personally don't like the hour button on this Zeitwerk.... a Zeitwerk is easy to adjust the time, so I much prefer not having a permanent button on the side of the watch to save 30 seconds of time. I LOVE the button on Lange perpetual calendars as it's ...
Thank you, IndieFan,
you for sure made some points. In theory this might be a competition between “high romance” (Striking Time) and “romantic practicability” (modern movement with double PR in the case of the Date). Since both are romantic watches for me. But - as we all kno...
Clearly I am more of a traditionalist when it comes to dial out.
However, this reference has been growing on me steadily. I’ve become enamored with its functionality and presence.
Since you wrote, "The date is not so necessary for me"...
I'd seriously consider the Striking Time. I have tried the ZW Date and I really liked it. It's beautiful -- really well-executed. I don't own one of these, though. I do own a Striking Time, which is huge on my 6"/154mm wrist. However, that's okay. I still...
Thank you, dear CR,
for your comprehensive and detailed reply which shows your passion very clearly. Your vivid description of winding your Striking Time makes my mouth water... 😃 I know myself very well. When I come to a decision about a new watch I do this without fuss or ...
Zeitwerk concept by itself is a remarkable choice...
I was truly impressed by the way the date functionality was added, didn’t disturb the design language of basic Zeitwerk. If you got a wrist for 44mm go for it. My personal choice would be the 42mm base version in black dial - lingering in my mind for a wh...
Very nice piece.
Had a look on it a few month ago. Tried it with a soft beige suede leather strap. What do you think of this combination? Cheers Thomas ...
Looks good but the croc has great visual appeal to the watch - no ?
do you go for it ?? I’ve a weak knees for Zeitwerk...
Let's put it this way.:
I tend to pull the trigger. But I am not sure which one. The 36 hours PR are a no-go for me. So for me the Date with its modernized mechanism is the best and most appealing solution. Or I wait until the movement of the basic version get‘s an improvement, ...
