Lange \u0026 Söhne Saxonia Outsize Date","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWhere does one turn when the typical, minimalist dress watch fails to inspire? To A. Lange \u0026amp; Söhne, of course. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Glashütte-based manufacture is world-famous for its absurdly beautiful, complicated timepieces, but their simpler watches are similarly the pinnacle of elegance. This Saxonia Outsize Date, with its large case and distinctly Saxon, oversized date complication, sits somewhere in the middle. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExecuted in understated white gold and housed in a modern 38.5mm case, this particular example could be mistaken for stainless steel, making it a perfect under-the-radar companion. Dating to 2018, it features a solid silver dial in a satin black finish with applied white gold indices and subsidiary seconds at 6 o’clock, plus a matching alpha handset. Of course, what makes this particular model stand out is the oversized “digital” date complication below the 12 o’clock marker, controlled via a pusher at 10 o’clock — a holdover from the simply unbeatable Lange 1, which debuted in 1994. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its sapphire crystal and display case back, 18k white gold signed crown and polished matching bezel, and matching black alligator leather strap with signed 18k white gold pin buckle, this Saxonia is the type of watch that — at least aesthetically — pairs well with everything from a t-shirt to a tuxedo. (Though, to be fair, we might opt for something less precious while wearing a t-shirt!) The beautifully finished, in-house Caliber L086.8 ain’t bad to look at, either. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s nothing wrong with a classic dress watch from a member of the “Holy Trinity.” But for a modern stunner in beautiful, nearly new-old-stock condition, this Saxonia is simply unbeatable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, flip this beauty over and gaze through the sapphire case back at the incredibly finished, manually winding Calibre L093.1 movement within. Once you do, you can’t help but understand Lange’s appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe get it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"A.
