A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Daymatic 320.032

About This Watch

The A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Daymatic is the automatic-winding member of the Lange 1 family, featuring a mirror-image dial layout compared to the standard Lange 1. The asymmetric arrangement is reversed, with the time display at 2 o'clock and the outsize date at 9-10 o'clock, creating a complementary composition that collectors sometimes pair with the standard model. The caliber L021.1 features a unidirectional winding rotor in 21k gold, visible through the sapphire caseback, and incorporates a retrograde day-of-the-week display that sweeps across an arc on the dial before snapping back at the end of Saturday. The 67 jewels reflect the complexity of the automatic winding train added to the base architecture. At 39.5mm, the Daymatic is marginally larger than the standard Lange 1 to accommodate the additional mechanism. The movement showcases the same exemplary Glashütte finishing: three-quarter plate, hand-engraved balance cock, gold chatons, and blued screws. For collectors who appreciate the Lange 1 aesthetic but prefer the convenience of automatic winding, the Daymatic offers the perfect solution.
