Hands-on review of the A. Lange & Sohne Grand Lange 1 Moon Phase Lumen (live photos, specs & price) - Monochrome Watches
When you think “Lumen“, you know it’s going to be rare, you know that’s it’s going to feature sapphire and you know it’s also going to be superb… At A. Lange & Sohne, the name “Lumen” means rather unusual watches, which are bearing a smoky sapphire crystal that partially reveals the top side of the movement and the date / hours discs. It also means luminescent areas and a result that is sort of unique and unexpected for such a conservative manufacture. After the Grand Lange 1 Lumen and the Zeitwerk Lumen, A. Lange & Sohne came to the SIHH with a new edition, one that seems natural in the end. Here is the?A. Lange & Sohne Grand Lange 1 Moon Phase Lumen.The origins of the?A.

Hands-On: The Revamped Oris Aquis Chronograph
It’s been several years since we last saw an update to the Aquis Chronograph, making the recent release anticipated. Oris?introduced the previous 500m water-resistant version back in 2018, featuring a 45.5mm case and a 6-9-12 sub-register layout. Since then, the model has remained unchanged except for the 2019 Blue Whale, which was part of the Oris Ocean Trilogy limited-edition set. The latest Aquis Chronograph follows the brand’s approach of subtle yet thoughtful redesigns, as demonstrated earlier this year with the new Aquis Date. This new version comes in a slightly smaller case with an updated dial layout and refined features. It will likely appeal to fans of Oris’s contemporary diving line (as opposed to vintage-inspired Diver Sixty-Five) and sports watch enthusiasts.The new Oris Aquis Chronograph brings several updates, with the case size being one of the most notable. Now measuring 43.5mm in diameter and 51mm lug-to-lug, the multi-part stainless steel case feat
