That is to say that I too was disappointed that Lange didn't release something completely new. When they send out a notice in advance it raises expectations and it is hard not to be disappointed when the release are enhancements to an existing model (although will acknowledge the new movement which is probably being underappreciated). However, I will say I was very impressed with the changes they made. Had our expectations not been so high, I think more people would have been pleased. I think Lange's timezone watch is incredibly well done. They have taken a beautiful piece and made a significant improvement by not only creating a new movement but also identifying the summer time indication which is really impressive. I love the ability to identify whether a particular city needs a further one hour adjustment based on whether that location utilizes daylight savings time or remains at standard time year-round. Perhaps someone will tell me that this is common in other brands, but I am not aware of it and think it is an excellent improvement.

Not impressed by the Lange 1 time zone release yesterday. I feel Lange should be less conservative and more forward thinking again like how they came up with ZW. A true icon. ...

Every time I see the ZW (specifically this version) I love it a little more. It’s a bold watch, very very strong design. I just love it. My only issue, which I understand has since been fixed in recent years, was the changeover on the discs.
The changeover of the discs was really no issue

One really needs to look very carefully to see that the minute disc makes a tiny little move, about 7 mintes before it makes the jump. That pre jump is hardly noticing and I find the whole discussion about it, a bit exagerated. But I do agree that it had ...
The newer ZW

Does not have this issue anymore. Was also told that the fix can’t be retrofitted to the older model because it was a significant change.
I agree with the new release

I feel that the new Time Zone new release fixed problems that shouldn’t have been there in the first place. AM/PM indicators should come standard for WT watches especially from big names. And the new feature that locks in the 2nd time zone shouldn’t have ...
