I agree with you about the platinum Datograph, which I always regard as THE variant to have…but that’s just my bias.
But it’s worth seeing what other more experienced owners have besides the platinum.
The other day, a friend of mine showed me his current 1815 Chrono (WG black dial), and I was captivated by its bold appearance and flyback chrono mechanism.
[pics from langepedia.com] The price will go up from May 25th, so I’m thinking of buying a black dial WG or PG at an authorized store. I've already made up my mind because I can now reserve the Odysseus (steel bracelet). If that happens, I’m sure I'll wan...
Awesome! Quick questions. Between 1815 Chrono and Patek 5170, which one wear bigger?
My wrist is only 17cm and I’ve been thinking about these two.
I don't know the reference...
...but I believe that is the one Dufour wears. I am a yellow gold fan so it's an easy choice for me.

I think you can dive straight into the dato if you find it comfortable..
I have thought abt the 1815 chrono many times but at the end, I concluded that it needs the big date to balance the 2 lowered subdials.. The thing with the Dato, it’s sits awkwardly on the wrist.. thickness wise it’s ~ the same as a 5970, but the position...
Fabulous pair
Highly recommend 1815 chrono and steel Odysseus. Don’t need much more than that. Dato would be icing on the cake. ...
So gorgeous, the 1815 Chrono in WG black dial...
I am not into coloured gold so it'll be these 2 for me. Both gone now, but the 1815 Chrono was on the wrist a lot more versus the Datagraph. Good luck! ...
anaroku, happy that the 1815 Chrono appeals to you!
I love it too. Pink gold is my colour too - including discontinued models, you have four excellent references to choose from: The gen. 1 (disc.) with the back dial (quirky, classic - stunning) The gen. 2 (disc.) with the white dial (no pulseometer chapter...
OP is you (Original Poster or Original Post). My suggestion...
... is to get 2 preowned Langes: (1) a Gen1 Datograph (403.031 RG/black dial or 403.035 PT/black dial), and (2) a steel Odysseus Datomatic. Those seem to be the two watches you want the most, and they're often available, so why bother with anything else (...
Sure! I meant the 363.179. That's the "standard" (unlimited) steel Odysseus that is self-winding and displays date/date. No chronograph. That model is called a "Datomatic,"
Odysseus is the family name, and Datomatic is the name of that model. There are 2 Odysseus models (so far): Datomatic and Chronograph. The Chronograph is a limited edition of 100. I was assuming you meant the Odysseus Datomatic (not Chronograph) when you ...
These are pics from Langepedia.com, I believe ;)
Please do share with credit next time. On your dilemma, it'll be interesting to have 1815 Chrono and Datograph. As ı saw from most of my friends, eventually one just leaves the stable! Though as you say, a pink gold / argente dial 1815 Chrono of the curre...
It’s interesting to hear your thoughts about which chrono eventually gets sold..
The 1815 is kinda missing the date but the it wears much more comfortable..
Interesting indeed
There is no strong data I can present on that and it is really depending on the person. In the end, people who has both are rather small sample size haha! Two school of thoughts I see: 1- The collector just wants to jump on Datograph as the iconic piece, ...
