Catalogue Essay
The A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus is certainly a modern champion of sporty elegance. Launched in 2019, the Saxon manufacturer took a seismic step and pivoted away from their traditional elegant forms to unveil the ref. 363.179, the first serially produced stainless steel luxury sports watch in their catalogue. Boasting a bright blue dial with an integrated bracelet, the model enjoyed instant recognition among collectors for its distinct Lange proportions and refined finishes, topped with a dash of youthful pazazz. A quintessential Lange through and through, its opulent counterpart, ref. 363.068, was born the following year.
The present white gold Odysseus features a seductive grey dial with a matching rubber strap that ensures maximum comfort for everyday wear. Beautifully finished, as would any timepiece leaving their workshop, a stellate embossing is applied to its minute chapter and subdial, creating a textured dial that plays coyly with the light. Tastefully executed both inside and out, the sapphire case back invites its wearer to appreciate the hand-polished cal. L155.1, which is as technically sound as it is aesthetically pleasing.
With the surging demand for A. Lange & Söhne and this model, the present Odysseus delivers the perfect opportunity for collectors to secure this “new-old-stock" modern heirloom from 2022, specifically designed for the modern gentry.

A. Lange & Söhne
German | 1845Originally founded in 1845 by Ferdinand Adolph Lange in Glashütte, Dresden, Germany, the firm established an entire watchmaking culture and industry in Glashütte. The brand quickly became Germany's finest watchmaker, first creating dependable, easy-to-repair watches before going on to produce some of the world's finest complicated pocket watches, including Grande Sonnerie watches, tourbillon watches and Grande Complications.
On the final day of World War II, their factories were destroyed by Russian bombers, and in 1948 the brand was confiscated by the Soviet Union. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1990, Ferdinand's great grandson Walter Lange re-established the brand with the objective to once again produce top-quality luxury watches. Now part of the Richemont Group, its original vintage and modern creations are highly coveted by collectors. Key models from the modern era include the Lange 1, Pour Le Mérite Tourbillon and the Zeitwerk.
