my taste will be a mix of both

Steel case

blue dial with their new 2020 model design 
60 in red
delete AUTOMATIC on the dial
blue matching rubber strap

According to sales L&S should move on that way.

I stay tune.
To date, still not a good addition in my collection.

My 2 cents

So, the key question after W&W 2020...

This: Or that: How do you like the WG version of the Odysseus available with a rubber strap or with a leather strap (two different references)? Price of the SS version is 28.000 euros in Germany and of the WG versions 39.500 euros. Thanks a lot! Fx ...  

the question is: shall a rubber strap become available for the SS version ? I have doubts at this stage...

I believe that Wilhelm Schmid expressed in some interviews that it would not be the case since the SS version was designed with a bracelet. Honestly, I think that Lange will change its mind. The customers will want to have the option. The complex bracelet... 

Judging from the pictures alone, the WG version seems to be a step in the right direction.

Not because of the white gold (I don't like that), but because of the dial texture/surface and the rubber strap. The grooves on the outer ring somewhat seem to fit better to the day and date windows. So, I'd rather buy the new version than the old one, bu... 

Love the grey dial...

... not so keen on the leather strap and end link combo. Still seems too wide and visually inelegant to me

my taste will be a mix of both

To be honest, I’m still unconvinced by this reference (though I’m open to partially reconsider since I haven’t seen it in person yet, like it happened e.g. after they showed me the AP Code).

But a rubber strap for the original steel version, when and if available, might definitely help to win more people over to this model😉Cheers.

Availability...

I wonder if the production of SS will be much lower so they can sell more WG.

I like the new version a lot!

I liked the steel one as well, but I found the generic looking bracelet borrowed from the Richemont cousins unbearable. I also happen to find the new grey dial a bit more interesting although that is not the key. The bottom line is that this is a strong c... 

Didn’t like the blue until I saw it in the metal

 
 By: Bek2 : April 26th, 2020-11:03
And boy did I change my mind. The dial was beautiful in the sun - really picked up the different textures. I also liked the bracelet so much more in person. Very comfortable and looked better on my wrist than I thought it would. I think a rubber strap is ... 

Impossible to say, at this point, because...

Langes always look very different in person than in the photos, and we haven't seen the latest Odysseus Datomatic in person yet. In addition, none of us knows what the new straps look or feel like in person. I'm looking forward to finding out, just out of... 

I still need to see both versions in person before I could say if i like it or not

 
 By: Watchonthewrists : April 26th, 2020-12:49
For now judging on the picks i would say the white gold version because of the rubber strap .

Patience

The design is going through its adolescence it will mature in a few years. Lange has entered a forté that it was not into. Also the the world economic scenario will change bringing about changes once again in watch design keeping in mind the mood.

I have a clear preference for the white gold/rubber strap version.

I never really liked the bracelet design of the steel version. I could really see myself wearing this new version!

I very much prefer the stainless steel version.

While the white gold version is pretty, stainless steel is still my preferred metal for a sports watch.
