2019 is the 25th year since a. Lange & Sohne released its first reissued watch version in 1994.As we’ve seen, Lange more or less launches a new limited edition each month in homage to arguably its most famous model, Lange 1. Today, we see the next version of this limited edition cheap replica watch, a 25-piece tribute to Lange damarch.
First launched in 2010, the Lange 1 Daymatic is characterized by a mirror-image reversal of the traditional asymmetric Lange 1 dial layout and as its name states, the use of an automatic movement in conjunction with a retrograde date display. The decision to replace the standard Lange 1 power reserve indicator with a weekly display was based on the belief that the use of automatic windings seems to reduce the need for power reserve indicators.
Like the previous seven limited editions honoring the Lange 1 that have already come out in 2019, this eighth piece, a Daymatic, characterizes a blue and silver color scheme in which blued hands and blue printed markers are set against a silver dial. The 39.5mm Lange 1 Daymatic case is white gold.
When I think of the replica Lange’s most famous collection, I tend not to consider Lange no. 1. Its use of automatic movement makes it somewhat unusual in Lange 1s. Although a perfect manual winding movement is one of the main attractions of the standard Lange 1, over the years, I have met some replica watches enthusiasts who have a strong preference for the convenience of automatic winding, and the Lange 1 Daymatic seems to be reflected in this demonstration. Anyway, there are only 25 of these Daymatics, and I hope they all go very fast.
