Fan of the brand

At first, starting from the name (I wonder who's the marketing guru behind it), I've thought it was neither fish nor flesh.
Nice,obviusly, it's still a Lange, in the recent years it seems that they have found the "lost" way, but it wasn't that innovative design anyone might have dreamt of.
The magic has occurred when I've seen the strap version. Whoa, completely different and new design (actually is not 😁) .

A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus

The A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus in steel and integrated bracelet is a watch which was announced in October 2019 on the 25th anniversary of the brand. It quickly became one of the most controversial watch in the brand history and for good reasons. If you are...

I am a fan of the brand too

Actually I thought the name Odysseus is pretty cool as it also denotes some kind of aquatic watch akin to the name Nautilus. I agree that the Odysseus looks very different on bracelet vs on leather strap/rubber strap. But thats good because everyone can g... 

The quality of the watch is, probably, undisputed.

I'm not so much a fan of the blue dial. I guess in future new iterations will come. As soon a black dial is available, it's time to visit my AD. The next two years the Odysseus is a Boutique-only watch in Europe. It seems the bottleneck in production is t... 

Thanks for sharing your thought

Will be interesting to see the future variants of the Odysseus and where it will go from here.

I hear you!

And totally respect your reasoning even if I am not completely enamoured of it. I definitely preferred it once I had seen and tried it and agree that we can’t all like the same and that Lange are to be admired for trying something different... ... I mean,... 

Thanks Angus!

I am very glad that AP releases the [Re]Master01 instead of another RO variant. I personally don’t find it controversial at all and it is one of the most attractive chrono in the market now. I will personally go for one if budget permits.

Looks great

Congrats! Anyone know if the rubber strap can be swapped onto this version?

Based on my understanding from watching interviews with Wilhelm Schmid

The rubber strap on the WG model can’t be used on the steel model. I think the lugs area is slightly different.

Congratulations! I like it very much.

This is definitely a new and authentic approach in the high-end steel „sports watch“ market. In two or three years this watch will be accepted widely.

Thank you

I share the same sentiments as you.

Thank you my friend

Very happy to go with this choice that most will not go for as their luxury steel sports watch. You can say I went with my heart.

Love the concept and bracelet

but I think a sports watch needs a center seconds hand and sans the day indicator. Too much information.

Usually I will agree with you

 
 By: singingbee : June 2nd, 2020-09:49
But I love the Saxon flavour of this watch

Yes the new WG models are qui interesting too

Looking forward to seeing and trying them in person soon
