Lange 1 Time Zone 25th Anniversary. The fifth commemorative piece created in 2019 by a A. Lange & Söhne to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of its most iconic wristwatch is the Lange 1 Timezone. Lange 1 Time Zone “25th Anniversary” (ref. 116.066) has a price of Euro 50,200.
The fifth commemorative piece created in 2019 by a A. Lange & Söhne to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of its most iconic wristwatch is the Lange 1 Timezone.
Like the previous four models (Lange 1, Grand Lange 1 Moon Phase, Little Lange 1 and Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar), the dual-time Lange 1 Time Zone “25th Anniversary” is a 25-piece limited edition and is characterized by silver and blue colours.
The 41.9 mm white gold case frames an argenté-coloured dial with blue inscriptions, including the outsize date. Designed with frequent travellers in mind, the Lange 1 Time Zone provides a clearly legible double time indication with a city ring that simplifies the setting of a second time zone.
While the large numerals circle shows home time, the small circle indicates the time in a second time zone. This can be easily set via the the lateral pusher. By pressing it, the rotating city ring with the 24 place names from west to east advances smoothly. Every switching cycle advances the hour hand of the small subsidiary dial by one hour.
A synchronisation mechanism makes it possible to swap the zone time on the subsidiary dial to the large dial – a unique feature. It is particularly convenient during longer stays abroad when zone time becomes the home time.
The hand wound calibre L031.1 beats at a frequency of 3 Hz (21,600 vph) and is equipped with a twin mainspring barrel delivering a power reserve of three days.
The sapphire-crystal caseback displays the typical three-quarter plate with the wheel train powering the zone-time ensemble. Finishes are outstanding with four screwed gold chatons, a screw balance with a classic whiplash precision index adjuster as well as manually engraved intermediate wheel and balance cocks. This is embellished by a blue line engraving with the anniversary number 25.
A blue alligator leather strap with a white-gold prong buckle completes the set.
