A. Lange & Söhne SAXONIA OUTSIZE DATE with Argenté-Coloured Dial

Introduced in 2018, the A. Lange & Söhne SAXONIA OUTSIZE DATE watch is now available with an argenté-coloured dial. The Lange outsize date and subsidiary seconds in a symmetric arrangement underscore the prominent look of a watch that combines technical refinement with formal harmony.

Made from white gold or pink gold, the classic watch case has a diameter of 38.5 millimetres and a height of 9.6 millimetres.

In the SAXONIA OUTSIZE DATE, the true Lange style embraces numerous design details such as the chamfered and polished solid-gold baton appliques. The outsize date is another typical element featured in the launch of the first wristwatch collection in 1994, which included the first SAXONIA model.

On the clear and minimalistic dial with applied baton indices in solid gold, it is positioned at 12 o’clock. The subsidiary seconds dial at the 6 o’clock position counterbalances the face.

Lange Calibre L086.8

Assembled by hand twice, the self-winding manufacture calibre of the SAXONIA OUTSIZE DATE is based on the calibre L086.1 of the SAXONIA AUTOMATIC.

Due to the complex date mechanism, the number of parts increased to 286, up from 209 in the basic movement. The extraordinary design features two separate display surfaces for the units and tens that are at least twice as large as in watches of a comparable size. This significantly enhances legibility.

A large central rotor with ball bearings and a platinum centrifugal mass assure efficient winding of the automatic L086.8 movement. The strong mainspring barrel delivers a maximum power reserve of 72 hours. Further mechanical highlights include a classic screw balance and a freely oscillating balance spring manufactured in-house.

The characteristic Lange style comes to the fore in various movement details such as the three quarter plate made of untreated German silver decorated with Glashütte ribbing and the hand-engraved balance cock with the elegantly curved whiplash spring for precision beat adjustment.

The finissage of the tiny movement parts with lavish polishes and exquisite decorations corresponds to the high artisanal standards for which A. Lange & Söhne is known.
