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.
