Such a strong design.

I love the bold character of this watch, something I think is lost with the recent Saxonia models.

—the luminous hands
—the bold 12
—the big sub seconds
—and of course the sax-o-mat movement, which is far more satisfying than Lange’s more recent automatic movements (save perhaps for the Daymatic movement)

It would be nice to see Lange offer something very similar in the 38.5 to 40 mm range.

Sax-O-Mat

Recently spotted on the web the black dial white gold Sax-o-Mat. A watch I had not seen before. Looks very intriguing. May I ask, is this watch similar to the Langematik Anniversary except for case material and dial finish? Based on photo looks like same ...  

The answer is in the picture. ;)

so aside from material being wg instead of pt and different dial... same watch essentially? this wg version design intrigues me a bit... like a modern 3417 Lange...

argh....

Is the subdial different finish than rest of dial? I assume it is but hard to tell from pictures... very elegant piece you got there! Seem like a great candidate for a lot of wrist time...

Size could be different too..

Langematik anniversary is 37 I think.. this is 36

If this is correct...

Then yes the Anniversary is marginally larger and thicker and has a slightly updated movement... thanks! ...  

Such a strong design.

yes a very intriguing design... like a modern 3417 aesthetically... there is a platinum version as well, also compelling for its case material but the black dial is bolder.. both very cool I think pic credit Deployant.com m ...  

I believe it is exactly the same but for a tiny bit of thickness.

If I recall correctly, the enamel dial of the Langematik Anniversay edition made it a tiny bit thicker than the standard no-date Langematik.

Yes...

Found these specs which seem to confirm your belief... ...  

You can also check the spreadsheet to make these sorts of comparisons....
