Hands On: A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus Honeygold
The A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus Honeygold stands out as a luxurious sports watch, crafted entirely from 18k Honeygold and limited to just 100 pieces. While its design may not be as visually striking as competitors like the Royal Oak or Nautilus, it impresses with its build quality, weight, and tactile appeal, creating a sense of luxury. The ergonomics of the watch are commendable, although the clasp is deemed too large for an elegant sports watch. With a price tag of US$110,000, the Odysseus Honeygold is costly even by luxury standards. Equipped with the L155.1 movement, the Odysseus Honeygold is designed for stability and shock resistance, making it suitable for a sports watch. The watch also features a well-organized dial with clear legibility for the day and date, all while maintaining a distinctly Lange aesthetic. The movement is refined, showcasing Lange's quality, even if it lacks some decorative flourishes found in other models. With a water resistance of 120 meters and a power reserve of 50 hours, this watch combines functionality with luxury, making it an exceptional addition to any collection.
