Quartz Lange
Walter Lange ran a watch distributor in Pforzeim between 1951 and 1987 and this was one of the models from that period. As far as I know, this and the Zeitwerk are the only two digital display watch models ever produced under the Lange name. I think the contrast between them is very interesting as one represents the darkest period of mechanical watchmaking (quartz crisis) and the other its rebirth and amazing recent innovations.

Unfortunately ALS doesn’t provide any service for them. But as the movements were not in-house, a good watch maker should be able to work on them. No German Silver on the bridges either, making it simpler

This is the first time i see such a Lange quartz watch. But i think quartz is not bad if a good watch company produce awsome quartz watches like the Longines Conquest VHP. This watch is not mented as a cheap way to buy a watch, but technology matters the ...
You are right of course...
Not everyone might like them but not all quartz watches are in the US$25 league and they are certainly not all born equal
