Lange Saxonia boutique edition in white gold and slate dial

Fx did a great review on the pink gold version.

Personally for me this white gold slate dial version is even more original and nicer as an evening dress watch. I always find white metal easier for black tie events as they go better with black straps and white metal cufflinks and shirt studs. Generally more versatile in white gold.

Also Lange had not released a Saxonia in white metal and slate dial before - this is the first if I am not wrong.

I saw this again last week in the Lange Singapore boutique. They paired it with a smurf color strap! I love it! Not for black ties of course but nice with casual wear I feel

Hope you have the chance to check this in the metal. It is pure class, like the VC Traditionelle in PT and slate dial (that VC is 1mm larger and even more beautiful IMHO but the price is also a lot higher so this Lange is a good alternative )

Cheers

Slate grey dial and blue strap would work very nicely with a tantalum case. [nt]

That's a very good suggestion Nico

Like on the FPJ Chronometre Bleu. That tantalum case is yummy! It doesn\'t have a slate grey dial but a superb mirror finished blue dial. Cheers Robin

Yes, and tantalum is even better on a small and thin case, as for the weight. [nt]

This is not the kind of watch / strap color combination that I am used to.

It's certainly unique, but I'm not sure whether I like it or not. Maybe I'm too conservative.

I understand Luis

The standard strap for this Saxonia WG slate dial is black and I think navy blue looks nice too. This strap is probably attached to this watch for fun/attention by the boutique staff. For me if I have such a watch, I will want a black strap for sure and a...

I probably would never dress down with this watch. It's not as versatile as your MB&F legacy machine 101. ^_^ [nt]

OMG! It is an ugly combo!

The blue of this strap doesn't match at all the dial! What a strange idea... Thanks Robin for the pics. Fx

One of my friends said the exact same thing

The medium blue strap is an interesting idea.

I've been staring at your pictures for quite a while now. Slate dials don't interest that much (I think IWC took that shade to the extreme) and when I first saw pictures of this model it didn't excite me. But with this rather unusual strap attached, the w...

Thank you Padj

Glad you like my pics Cheers Robin

I think the colors combination is very interesting

Very unusual but a casual classy for the week-end. Thanks for sharing with us Robin Cheers, Mark

Indeed Mark

For the weekend it is nice

In that case, I would be happy to be back to the office on Monday! ;-) [nt]
