A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus 363.068 White Gold Grey Dial

The Odysseus collection marks A. Lange & Söhne’s bold foray into the luxury sports watch arena, and reference 363.068 stands as its most precious expression. Forged entirely from 18k white gold, the 39 mm case exudes a substantial, cool-heft presence that distinguishes it from its steel counterparts. The dial, a masterclass in restraint, features a sunray-brushed grey finish that shifts from deep graphite to bright silver under changing light. Applied white gold hour markers and hands, filled with Super-LumiNova, ensure legibility without compromising the dial’s clean architecture. The integrated bracelet, composed of meticulously finished links, flows seamlessly from the case, securing with a folding clasp that bears the iconic Lange crown.

At the heart of this horological marvel beats the manufacture caliber L155.1 DATOMATIC, a movement developed exclusively for the Odysseus line. Visible through the sapphire case back, the three-quarter plate made of untreated German silver showcases Glashütte ribbing, while the hand-engraved balance cock—a signature of the maison—captures the light with every wrist movement. The automatic winding system features a bidirectional rotor with a 21k gold segment, delivering a generous 50-hour power reserve. Technical highlights include the patented DATOMATIC date mechanism, which advances the outsized date precisely at midnight, and a free-sprung Lange balance oscillating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, ensuring chronometric precision.

Owning the Odysseus 363.068 is an invitation to experience daily luxury without compromise. Rated to 12 bar (120 meters), it transitions effortlessly from boardroom to yacht deck, its white gold construction offering superior corrosion resistance and a patina that matures gracefully. Presented as a full set with original box and papers, this 2022 example represents a rare opportunity to acquire a modern classic from Saxony’s most revered manufacture.
