A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia Outsize Date 381.031

About This Watch

The A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia Outsize Date in white gold with a blue dial offers a contemporary take on this essential Lange collection. The outsize date mechanism, inspired by the five-minute clock at the Semperoper opera house in Dresden, uses two separate discs — one for tens, one for units — to display the date in a size that is approximately three times larger than a conventional date window. This has become one of Lange's most recognized design signatures. The caliber L086.1 is self-winding with a 72-hour power reserve, providing modern convenience. The rich blue dial creates a striking contrast against the white gold case, with applied rhodiumed hour markers and slim hands maintaining legibility. The 38.5mm case size is refined and comfortable, sized for the collector who appreciates restraint. Through the sapphire caseback, the movement displays all the hallmarks of Glashütte craftsmanship: the hand-engraved balance cock, three-quarter plate with ribbed decoration, and the visible workings of the outsize date mechanism. The blue-on-white-gold combination appeals to modern collectors seeking a Lange that bridges classic tradition with contemporary aesthetics.
