A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Time Zone Platinum
The A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Time Zone, a timepiece for globetrotters, is now available in platinum with a rhodium dial. A watch that shows home and another time zone time at a glance with a circular day/night display and a second time zone daylight saving time indication further expands the already high level of functionality. This year, monochromatic combinations add timeless elegance to sophisticated technology.
Simultaneously displaying the time in two zones is one of the most practical additions in precision watchmaking and is highly regarded by watch connoisseurs around the world. In 2005, Lange gave this complication a unique look in the Lange 1 Time Zone. In addition to the home time, this unique timepiece also displays the time in a second time zone, which can be easily selected since the cities on the city ring represent 24 time zones.
In its second generation, launched in 2020, the urban model is equipped with a new in-house movement L141.1 with an intuitive daylight saving time indicator. Now, the new Lange 1 Time Zone comes in a 41.9 mm 0.950 platinum case with a sterling silver rhodium dial for a resolutely classic look. high quality fake watches
By placing the ring with the 24 reference cities on the periphery, the unique off-centre dial structure of the Lange 1 watch series is not compromised. Home time and local time, large date and power reserve indicator are clearly visible at any given time. The larger time circle indicates the home time, while the smaller time circle shows the time in the second time zone, and the pointer points to the corresponding city on the 24 city rings.
When the corrector at 8 o’clock is activated, the city ring moves eastward by one time zone. At the same time, the hour hand on the small sub-dial advances by one hour, indicating the time zone time of the city pointed to by the gold arrow mark and the corresponding time zone.
The indication of daylight saving time constitutes a refined technical feature. The colored segments in the arrows indicate whether the selected city and time zone observes daylight saving time; if this is the case, the small aperture is filled with red, leaving the background unchanged if standard time is observed at this location throughout the year. best fake watches
In order to distinguish day and night in the two time zones, the Lange 1 Time Zone is equipped with a colored ring day/night indicator connected to the hour hand. They are placed in the center of each time circle to inform the wearer whether the respective time indication is valid in the first or second half of the day. When the hour hand is in the color zone of the dial, it indicates the time interval between 6 am and 6 pm; when the blue background appears, it refers to the time interval between 6 pm and 6 am. Maybe not the most intuitive way to indicate, but definitely a handy indicator on a world timer.
In addition, the Lange 1 Time Zone watch is also equipped with a cleverly designed synchronization mechanism, which can transfer the time zone time from the smaller sub-dial to the larger sub-dial, so that the new main time can be defined as the home time. When the crown is pulled to the second position, the time in the two zones can be adjusted synchronously. However, if the time zone correction button is pressed and held, the hour hand of the time zone dial will stop at its position. The new primary time defined can now be set independently of the time zone. Finally, it may be necessary to correct the outsize date relative to the main time by activating the date correction pusher at 10 o’clock.
The hand-wound caliber L141.1 is clearly visible through the case back and offers a power reserve of 72 hours when fully wound. buy fake watches
