The Lange 1 boasts the iconic design with off-center hours and minutes with roman numeral markers on the left. The seconds are off centre on the right and a power reserve indicator above the seconds sub-dial. At 10 o'clock there is a quick date set button that advances the date with just an easy push - makes advancing past 31 in a month with 30 days an easy chore. Lange's patented big date display is at 2 o'clock. The whole dial design is in total harmony and is one of Lange's most successful creations! Even Clint Eastwood wears one!
This particular model is rare as Lange have stopped producing blued hand version of Lange 1 and there are only very few produced. The blued hands make the Lange 1 looks even more elegant and complements the silver dial perfectly. The crocodile strap is meticulously made in the highest quality you can get from a watch strap and the matching Yellow Gold buckle is equally impressive.
Included is the watch, original Lange leather box (no outer cardboard box), Lange's portfolio folder and the instruction book for Lange 1. Missing is the dealer stamped card.
The watch is guaranteed authentic. The beautiful german silver 3/4 plate with it's top quality finishing can only be done by Lange. Also the heft of the gold case is very noticeable, you will see that the watch is very solidly built.
