This is what the Odysseus should have always looked like. I can't imagine many people, after viewing this video, who will still buy the Odysseus in its current form.

...but skip at least to 3:30 as the intro is incredibly annoying...

Thank you for the link!

I think it is a be nice tribute to the Odysseus. And highlights it's biggest weakness - the bracelet. Mr Schmid did say in an interview that he doesn't like watches on bracelet. But when you are entering the category of Royal Oak and Nautilus, the bracele... 

nice job done

if I agree that the bracelet design should be modified and they should offer un easy strap/bracelet change, my MAJOR concern is on the dial. I would have suppressed the word "AUTOMATIC" My 2 cents

Much prefer the original to the redesign!

The piece is a beauty on the wrist, super comfy and can be quickly visually changed with a rubber or leather strap if you so wish.

According to reports, you cannot remove the bracelet anymore ...

... from recently delivered Odysseus steel models. So - a rubber strap cannot be fixed.

Really?

I had heard they were originally going to do this but then changed their mind, do we have any photos of the revised fixing of the bracelet? Photos on Lange’s website still show the original removable bracelet design but they could be out if date?

Some definite improvements. In the redesign, the transition between the side "wing" and the lugs seems too severe.

I still think Lange did a poor job with its design. They probably should have hired an outside designer (assuming they didn't) rather than rely solely on in-house designers who undoubtedly have their own rigid Lange design identities.
