The central chronograph seconds hand is luminous and so is the entire tachymeter scale. What about the chronograph? Can I use it in the dark? Of course, you can. This means that the date remains visible in the dark even if it changes after midnight. More importantly, however, it allows ultraviolet light to pass through so that it can charge up the date discs, which are filled with luminescent material, even when they are not visible in their aperture. This makes it possible to get a glimpse of the main plate and its perlage finish. To begin with, the central dial section is made up of smoked sapphire glass. But look closely and you will notice that there are many changes. It has a 41mm platinum case, the signature outsized date, and the two subdials which are positioned slightly below center.
Lange & Söhne Datograph Up/Down “Lumen,” you might mistake it for a regular Datograph. If you were to quickly glance at the new A. More notable, though, is that it was the first all-new chronograph movement in years and it prompted Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin to step up their game and introduce their own in-house chronograph movements.
For sure, it heralded the brand as a serious player in the realm of high-end watchmaking. Though, perhaps more importantly, it just looks very cool all “lumed out.” Lange & Söhne Datograph Up/Down “Lumen,” which is the first Datograph that, I can safely say, can be easily read and operated in the dark. The brand has addressed this with the new A. It might be too nitpicky to point out that it’s difficult to operate in low light, but while a smattering of lume on the dial is enough to tell the time, it is insufficient for the reading the date, much less operating the chronograph. Lange & Söhne‘s Datograph will be 20 years old, but ask almost anyone at all and they will say that it remains no less impressive today.
