A HONEY GOLD LANGE 1 TIME ZONE
Released in October, this latest edition of a longtime A. Lange & Söhne favorite tweaks the model’ s features just a bit. Now the dial is somewhat more subdued as the letters‘ GMT’ and the markers separating the city names are blue, not red. In addition, the subdial ring for the second timezone is also blue, rather than black. Finally, the city ring indication that represents Central European Time now says Dresden, replacing Berlin. Dresden is the city where the company presented its first collections twenty-two years ago on October 24, 1994.
Since it debuted in 2005, the Lange 1 TimeZone has become one of A. Lange & Söhne’ s best-known models. Not only is it beautifully designed, it offers a particularly interesting adjustment option that allows the user to change the home time display on the main dial with the time indicated on the secondary dial. The time zone is set with a lateral pusher. It advances the rotating city ring with the twenty-four place names from west to east.
Over the years A. Lange & Söhne has offered this watch cased in yellow gold, rose gold, platinum and white gold, but this newest edition has the watch bathed in A. Lange & Söhne’ s proprietary hue called honey gold. Honey gold is a mix of pink gold and yellow gold and offers a warmer tone while also retaining an extra-hard Vickers level. Inside is hand-finished manufacture caliber L031.1 with a power reserve of three days. Limited to 100 watches, this Dresden Honey Gold edition of the Lange 1 Time Zone is available in all A. Lange & Söhne boutiques. Price: $ 64,300.
