ZEITWERK DATE

The ZEITWERK DATE is A. Lange & Söhne’s first mechanical digital watch with a date function. However, due to the space occupied by the large numeral discs and the prominent dial with the time bridge, it was not possible to simply integrate a conventional date or even an outsize date. For this reason, our developers devised an unusual solution for this extraordinary concept. A peripheral glass date display with printed numerals from 1 to 31 circles the dial. A small colour segment on a ring beneath it always advances by one increment exactly at midnight. The current date is thus emphasised in red, providing a quick and intuitive reading. The date display can be adjusted with the button at 8 o’clock; the switching impulse is generated when it is released.
