Lange Sohene Lange 1 Daymatic 25th Anniversary. The eight commemorative piece created by A. Lange & Söhne to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Lange 1 is the Lange 1 Daymatic. A limited edition of just 25 watches, the A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Daymatic “25th Anniversary” (ref. 320.066) has a price of Euro 44,200.
The eight commemorative piece created by A. Lange & Söhne to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Lange 1 is the Lange 1 Daymatic. Although it looks very similar, this model differs from the hand wound original in a key aspect: its asymmetrical dial was mirrored.
The hours and minutes have been shifted to the right, the subsidiary seconds and the outsize date to the left. The power-reserve indicator of the Lange 1, located adjacent to the crown, has been replaced in the Lange 1 Daymatic with a retrograde day-of-week display on the opposite side. In fact, in a self-winding watch the weekday information is more relevant than the current state of wind, and it also complements the outsize date.
The special features of the Lange 1 Daymatic “25th Anniversary” include a white-gold case with a diameter of 39.5 mm and an argenté-coloured, recessed dial with blued steel hands. The inscriptions, including the numerals of the Lange outsize date, echo the blue hue of the hands. A blue hand-stitched alligator leather strap with a solid white-gold buckle underscores the two-colour concept.
The movement is the automatic Lange in-house calibre L021.1 with 67 jewels (7 in screwed gold chatons), 21,600 vibrations per hour and a power reserve of 50 hours.
Plates and bridges are crafted from untreated German silver. It features an indexless oscillation system based on a large balance wheel with eccentric poising weights and an in-house manufactured balance spring. The efficiency of the gold rotor is enhanced by a platinum mass. The hand-engraved Lange-style balance cock of the “25th Anniversary” edition stands out with a special detail: set to 25, the iconic Lange outsize date is engraved in the floral pattern filled with blue.
