A good watch looks good on any strap or bracelet
Hope to see it soon but I think it is a very, very nice watch:
- some nice complications to play with
- substantial but elegant enough and timeless
- perfect movement to case ratio of a lovely, new
movement with an inhouse balance spring
- very masculine
- top useable bracelet that is not flashy
I can see me wearing this happily with a polo shirt
in the summer, where others are not really compatible with a short sleeve shirt ...
Not bad at all...
Imagine the 5 pc bracelet without the lugs directly integrated to the case...will be good too !
I find it "annoying" to reduce the watch down to the bracelet only
This watch has got one thing that a Nautilus or a Royal Oak has not to offer and this one thing is the essence of watch making: it has got an in-house balance spring. Only Rolex too offers an, metal alloy, in-house balance spring in the sport watch depart...
I also appreciate innovation and exclusivism
Still, I find it hard to compromise on the aesthetics of a watch. It surely is the first thing that catches my attention. Best, R
Honestly: I already miss the original bracelet if I see so many alternatives :-)!
I do not like polished interlinks on a steel watch, hence the Nautilus is too flashy. This bracelet is top!
Unfortunately you wear the bracelet not the balance spring .
If a watch looks unappealing, the technical part stinks ... But to each his own
Glad to see so many thoughts on this
I would not prefer the Speedmaster bracelet: too sporty, too brash for a Lange. The one on the left, with some additional faceting and refinement, is pretty much what I have in mind: a certain German heft and simplicity without being loud or gimmicky. Bes...
On all alternative bracelets it looks like a watch
On the original bracelet it looks like a Lange.
I totally share your assessment!
With simple words straight to the point: The original design makes it a sports watch and still looks like a Lange! The others make it look just like a watch! I like it and I am pretty sure it is very nice in person. Best Tempus
The original Lange bracelet is a talking point. I personally prefer the two alternatives, particularly the one on the right. The overal look of any watch is important.
i know it's a Lange, but there are better models to this one,....because of the strap.
Both are worse than the original, IMHO!
Please don’t forget: we are speaking about a Lange, not about a daily beater Submariner or Speedmaster. I think a “normal” bracelet, which sits between in the lugs, matches not to the character of the Odysseus: it is a strong watch with great complication...
To be honest, the wrist shots with the bracelet look great to me.
This watch has full ALS DNA to my eyes (even if the bracelet isn't designed in-house). Asking for someone else's bracelet isn't the right direction, at least for me. This watch isn't like anything on the market in its class and the quality will, I believe...
+1...so far the wrist shots online has been very attractive...I still like it.
Once the other photoshop bracelets or left ears show up, it all makes sense the original looks better and right. Again, it’s my opinion.
Agreed. I've seen the mock-ups on different bracelets, on the croc strap, etc., and I think the original bracelet...
... looks best, especially from the wrist shots. Still, I'm not in love with the overall design and I tend to dislike stick markers in general, but I think the Odysseus line has potential.
I believe the watch has full ALS DNA...
...and it is to be admired for that...but...the bracelet seems to me to be derivative without any real connection to ALS that I can discern. As others have pointed out, it seems to be a bit of Glashutte Original/IWC with the clasp and a bit of JLC with th...
A unique part of the bracelet...
...can be seen once you flip it over. Their push button link (not the clasp) adjustment system is brilliant. Still going to see what they come up with for v2
Also note how many bars are used in the bracelets
I am sure this bracelet will not stretch a micro meter in 20 years time!
Thank you!
Just what I was looking for. I'll look closer when my AD gets one in stock. Kind regards, Dan
Fantastic reiteration... especially on leather. One wonders why ALS
decided to go big. Makes it look clunky.
One on the right
nails it. Since the watch delivers in April next year from what I hear, maybe this change is possible as an alternative to the prototype displayed.
I am loving Rubber straps these days.
I think it would look great with a Rubber strap.

I admire your persistence and loyalty, however it's like putting on a fantastic pair of trousers and the shoes don't look quite right.
I think ALS missed the mark. If I buy a watch with a bracelet, it's unlikely I would change the strap. If I wanted a watch with a leather strap I would buy another one. It's not a matter of what the watch looks like on other straps, it's whether it looks ...
Thank you for your input
I do like it on the bracelet, a lot. It gives the watch a very strong presence and that is all about this watch: a solid but noble steel watch. The small second gives it a marine chrononeter feel and is a brilliant choice from Lange. Competitor are more a...
I'm not sure about this model
I like this watch but to me the bracelet lets it down. I think this would look better on a strap, but the whole point of this watch is to exist on the bracelet. The bracelet feels like an afterthought here. It's rumored that Genta would design the bracele...
Both of these options looks better...
I hope they have more strap options in the future.
