Sports watches have been a hot topic in recent times with a surge in demand by collectors and the market. While manufacturers such as Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin had released their own in the 1970s, A. Lange & Söhne have shunned away from sports watches and stainless steel watches (with only a few rare exceptions), 2019 marked an important event for the firm when they released their very first sports watch, the Odysseus. With a name deriving from a hero of Greek mythology, the Odysseus is certainly one of a kind.

Adopting a completely fresh case design, the classic round-shaped case is accessorized with faceted lugs, bold crown guards and an innovative integrated bracelet specific to the Odysseus. Incorporating a tripartite case, the bracelet and lugs are satin-finished, with each lug and bracelet link executed with precise chamfers. Encased inside the fully waterproof case lies an exhilarating blue dial with a fine guilloche outer ring and a grained main dial. Featuring center seconds as 6 O’clock, the firm’s signature oversized day and date display can be witnessed on the 3 and 9 O’clock position. Fitted with white gold hands and applied indexes, each are filled with superluminova to enhance its legibility in the dark. Extremely well-received by collectors, a white gold edition with a rubber strap was later launched. With a scarce production and availability in the market, the Odysseus has become one of the hottest watches by the firm.

The present example A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus is offered in “like new” overall condition and is accompanied by its full set of accessories. A perfect opportunity for seekers of the present model to acquire an example that is highly demanded by collectors.
