A. Lange and Sohne 363.179 Odysseus SS Blue Dial

The A. Lange and Sohne Odysseus reference 363.179 represents the German manufacturer’s inaugural venture into the integrated luxury sports watch segment, a genre dominated by only a select few global icons. Unveiled in 2019, this stainless steel variant is instantly recognizable by its deep blue, brass-based dial—exclusive to Lange boutiques—featuring sculpted indices and a distinctive day-date display at three and nine o’clock. True to the brand's mechanical pedigree, the watch is powered by the in-house caliber L155.1 DATOMATIC, an automatic movement crafted with a precision balance bridge, skeletonized rotor, and 50-hour power reserve. The Odysseus’s robust but elegantly curved 40.5mm case, combined with the integrated and detachable bracelet, delivers both contemporary versatility and the kind of refined engineering for which Lange is revered. As one of only a handful of stainless steel references in the company’s portfolio, this piece has quickly become a centerpiece for collectors seeking the merger of everyday functionality and haute horlogerie. Its launch marked a pivotal expansion beyond the brand’s classic dress codes, signaling a modern evolution while retaining hand-finished movement excellence associated with Saxon watchmaking. Complete with original Lange box and documents dated 2020, this example provides both provenance and significant collector cachet, making it a rare opportunity for those who appreciate innovation anchored by tradition.
