Object description

Case and Dial

The watch case is crafted from A. Lange & Söhne’s proprietary Honey Gold, a metallic alloy characterized as richer and warmer than yellow gold with a distinct softness in light. The case diameter is 37.4mm, with a height of 8.9mm. The fixed lugs are integrated into the case design, which is paired with a brown alligator strap and a signed Honey Gold pin buckle.

The dial is silver and features a classic aesthetic associated with the 1815 line. It includes printed Arabic numerals, a railway-track style minute scale, and blued steel hands. A moon phase display is positioned on the dial, designed to integrate with the layout of the markers and the small seconds sub-dial located at the six o'clock position.
