Limited Edition of 25 Pieces
A hand-engraved lunar disc in white gold distinguishes the LITTLE LANGE 1 MOON PHASE presented on the occasion of the 25th birthday of the LANGE 1 from the standard version.
As the ninth of a total of ten special models, the LITTLE LANGE 1 MOON PHASE “25th Anniversary” recalls the spectacular presentation of the LANGE 1 on October 1994. The hallmarks of the two-toned anniversary edition include a white-gold case, an argenté dial in solid silver with blue-printed elements and blued steel hands.
Like all manually wound timepieces of the LANGE 1 family, the LITTLE LANGE 1 MOON PHASE first introduced in 2017 has an off-center dial with an outsize date and an UP/DOWN power-reserve indicator. The moonphase display is so precise that it only has to be corrected by one day every 122.6 years.

The case, in 18kt white gold, measures 36.8mm x 9.5mm. It has double sapphire crystals.
Crown for winding the watch and setting the time; button for rapid correction of the outsize date; recessed push piece for correcting the moonphase display.
