A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus, Now in White Gold with Leather or Rubber Straps

И их коммент по поводу изменения внешнего вида

What’s new, what’s not

Almost everything – dimensions, case finishes, functionality, movement and elements on the dial – are identical to the inaugural version. What has changed though is the case material, now 18k white gold, the dial colour, now grey with different finishes, and the integrated strap, now in either rubber or leather.

The 40.5mm three-part, 18k white gold case has a thickness of 11.1mm and displays the same contrasting polished and brushed finishes as the previous model. The prominent rounded and polished bezel sits on top of a middle case with its asymmetrical module framing the crown. These are not crown guards (the crown is screwed down to ensure the 120m WR), but instead, house the two pushers to adjust the outsize date and large weekday indications. Another important visual function is how this device containing the pushers breaks up the rotundity of the case and gives the watch some contrasting angles.

The new grey dial colour adds a touch of formality to the watch and the decoration of the hour chapter has changed from a concentric pattern to an embossed structure with deep grooves, also used on the outer perimeter of the small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock. Another difference is the smooth surface of the centre of the dial, unlike the grained texture of the blue version.

The big novelty

There is no denying that the new integrated rubber and leather straps change the look of the watch radically making it more streamlined, sleeker, sportier, younger, more agile, less cumbersome…

However, in all fairness, and as Frank duly reported in his Opinion article of the Odysseus last year – a watch that he fell in love with in just 60 seconds – the bracelet might have looked as though it was integrated into the case, but it wasn’t. “In fact, the watch features proper lugs – shaped in the usual Lange way – which means that, if you feel like it, it could be worn on a leather or rubber strap too.” Which in turn means that from day one the bracelet was designed to be removed… Was Lange testing the waters with the steel bracelet?

Whether or not this part is true, the new bracelets represent a huge change. The black rubber strap features two central embossed canals that continue from the lug modules. The leather option will be a dark brown colour with a grey seam; both the rubber and leather strap come with a white gold prong buckle.

Одиссею бы полупрозрачные циферблаты как у Lange 1 Lumen или Zeitwerk Luminous...

На самом деле, обсуждали эту тему с Энди - который основал #langenation И сейчас client relation manager China
По его мнению (уж не знаю, инсайд или просто предположения), такое может случится в след году или еще через год )))

[Laureus]

Если так произойдет, то Одиссей только выиграет. Модель 2020 слишком рафинированная.

Гарри Гетц выложил свое мнение о новинке как обладатель стальной версии ))

A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus In White Gold For 2020: A Collector’s (And Stainless Steel Odysseus Owner’s) View

Он обратил внимание на систему быстрой замены ремня, сходную с Оверсизами
