A Lange & Söhne Grand Lange 1 Moonphase 41 mm Review

Some watches have the ability to first attract your attention and then stimulate your curiosity. Personally, when I see an AL&S watch, I feel an overwhelming urge to take a long look at the case back. The delicate sparkles of gold, blued screws, pink rubies, the combination of different craftsmanship techniques, especially on the ¾ plate, and that unique hand engraving fascinate me every time.

The Lange & Sohne in-house L095.3 caliber that powers this watch consists of 446 parts, meticulously crafted to perfection. This 45 jewel, hand-wound mechanical movement is a 3Hz caliber that beats at 21,600 VpH.

Grand Lange Moonphase has a considerable power reserve of approximately 72 hours, which can be monitored from the power reserve indicator at 3 o'clock on the silver dial.

The watch featured in this article is the reference number 139.032 model with a polished 18 carat rose gold case measuring 41 mm in diameter and 9.5 mm in thickness. There is a chamfered edge on the bottom of the case, and a rounded, smooth and soft-edged edge on the top. There is a quick correction button on the case at 10 o'clock, which allows you to quickly adjust the large date complication.

The most spectacular part is the dial design. There is a large date with a large double window at 1 o'clock, a power reserve indicator with a single rose gold hour hand at 3 o'clock, small running seconds at 5 o'clock, and a main dial offset from the center at 9 o'clock.

The main dial features an integrated moon-phase window, which is absolutely delightful! A midnight blue moon phase disc adorned with a starry night background hosts a moon figure in rose gold tones. This is an extremely precise moon phase complication that only needs to be adjusted once every one hundred and twenty-two years using a special tool.

There are four appliqué Roman numerals at XII, III, VI and IX, with small diamond-shaped hour markers in between. A black printed seconds track runs along the perimeter of the main dial, with thicker minute markers at each five-minute interval. Just like the small running seconds track, the main dial also features a textured radial guilloche wave pattern; However, while this pattern covers the entire dial on the small seconds sub-dial, it is located in the outer area of ​​the dial on the main dial and is not found in the integrated moon phase area in the center.

This watch comes with a sturdy brown alligator strap and an 18k rose gold pin buckle with the word LANGE engraved along the buckle edge.
