Description: LANGE 31 (this model in 18K Rose gold) - the world’s first
mechanical wristwatch with a
power reserve of 31 days and a constant-force escapement that powers the going train with constant torque delivery.
The tremendous amount of energy needed to keep the watch running so long is transferred to the movement with a winding key and stored in a twin mainspring barrel.
The key is inserted through an aperture in the sapphire-crystal case-back.
Three seals between the winding mechanism and the case protect the watch against ingress of water up to a pressure of 3 bar.
To prevent inadvertent overtightening of the mainsprings, the key features an integrated torque limiter.
An attempt to turn the key further – once the mainspring is fully wound – disengages the triangular toothing of two wheels inside the key and interrupts the flow of power.
Dial: Solid silver, argente.
Hands: Rose gold.
