A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Time Zone 116.025

About This Watch

The A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Time Zone is one of the most intelligently designed dual time watches in haute horlogerie. Two separate Lange 1-style sub-dials display home and travel time independently, each with its own day/night indicator, while a city ring at the periphery identifies time zones worldwide. The brilliance of the design is that pressing the pusher at 10 o'clock simultaneously advances the travel time by one hour and rotates the city ring, while a separate mechanism allows the outsize date to be linked to either time zone. This means the watch always shows the correct date for whichever zone you designate as primary. The caliber L031.1 maintains the 72-hour power reserve despite the considerable additional mechanism, with a power reserve indicator tucked above 6 o'clock. At 41.9mm, this is the largest Lange 1, necessary to accommodate the dual dials with adequate legibility. The hand-finished movement visible through the caseback displays the full repertoire of Glashütte decoration. The Time Zone is the ideal Lange 1 for the frequent traveler who demands both mechanical sophistication and genuine usability.
