Lange \u0026amp; Söhne returned to watchmaking in the 1990s, the Saxonia collection helped establish the brand's modern identity.

Lange \u0026amp; Söhne Saxonia Big Date Ref. 102.001 has always felt different from most traditional dress watches. The proportions are reminiscent of a vintage Omega chubby case, giving it a slightly sporty personality despite being crafted in yellow gold. This first-series example is especially appealing thanks to its unpolished condition, original strap and buckle, and complete presentation with its original box. It's one of those watches that becomes more impressive every time you put it on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"2167\" data-end=\"2184\"\u003eOur Promise\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2262\" data-start=\"2024\"\u003eEvery watch is thoroughly vetted, carefully described with complete transparency, and guaranteed authentic.
