A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Chronograph Reference 414.028

Partially verified

This A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Chronograph, reference 414.028, is identified by the source as the first iteration of the 1815 Chronograph model featuring a black dial paired with a white gold case. Part of the third generation of the 1815 Chronograph collection, the timepiece maintains a classic, symmetrical dial layout without a date display, housed in a 39.5 mm case with an 11 mm thickness. The watch utilizes the manually wound L951.5 caliber, visible through a transparent case back. Construction details include bridges made of German silver, blued steel screws, gold chatons, and a hand-engraved balance cock. The black dial incorporates a pulsometer scale and two sub-dials positioned at the 4 and 8 o'clock markers. The source notes the aesthetic combination has led to the reference being colloquially referred to as the 'Darth' variant.

Object description

Case and Dial Design

The 1815 Chronograph reference 414.028 is presented in a white gold case measuring 39.5 mm in diameter and 11 mm in thickness. The design intentionally omits a date display to preserve symmetry, relying on a clean, classic configuration. The watch features a dark black dial punctuated by Arabic numerals and two sub-dials placed at the 4 and 8 o'clock positions.

A peripheral pulsometer scale surrounds the dial, reflecting the chronograph's intended function.

Movement and Finishing

The watch is powered by the L951.5 caliber, a manual-wind movement visible through a display case back. The movement utilizes bridges constructed from German silver, a characteristic material choice for the manufacturer.

Decorations on the movement include heat-blued steel screws, gold chatons, and polished steel levers with beveled edges. The balance cock is notable for its intricate, hand-engraved finish, a hallmark of the caliber's artisanal assembly.
