I have put together a collection of what I believe are some of the most iconic pieces from each of my favorite brands (Speedmaster, Submariner, Snowflake, etc.). We all need a theme, right?

Next on the hit list is Lange and more specifically the Lange 1. I am thinking rose gold with a silver/white dial (maybe my favorite), but wanted to ask the forum a question. What Lange 1 color combination (case color, dial color) is the most iconic in your opinion? Why?

Thanks all!

I would definitely go for the grand lange 1 with moonphase. That watch with the moonphase is one of the nicest watches i’ve seen. Personally my grail.

vladamir15 · 10 October 2018, 05:06 AM

Great collecting idea as well btw! Might have to copy that

GB-man · 10 October 2018, 06:40 AM

Original was YG with champagne (silver) dial.

Why has only one person answered this question correctly. This is THE iconic Lange 1, no other.

Wg black dial is the one I prefer. Probably not the iconic option though. I just like to plug my precious

L1 Moonphase rose gold, nothing better for me personally and I am a very proud owner.

I would choose this exact config as well.

Absolutely stunning. I likely will never be able to play in that stratosphere but can ogle.

Any moonphase version will see you right. It’s a stunning watch and really like the big date display.

ILuvSubs · 10 October 2018, 08:38 AM

What about the lumen versions of the Lange 1? Very cool with the transparent dark glass and the lume. If you're going to get a Lange 1, you might as well go the whole hog. Good luck!

As for most iconic, I guess the original Lange 1 with closed caseback. The horror! The horror!

Iconic for me is the Lange 1 in platinum (AKA stealth)

I think many believe RG silver is the iconic look even though YG was the original. I’m not sure many pay attention to older Lange stuff...yet.

I have the grande lange one moonphase in rose gold. It is my prettiest watch.
I wear it on a blue strap, really pops the moon color. You cant go wrong.

The original in rose gold with the silver dial is the most iconic and is possibly your favorite, so that makes for an easy choice. Personally, while I love Langes, I'm not a fan of the Lange 1 but I do like the ones with moonphases best. Have you considered a platinum Datograph? That could also give the Lange 1 a run for it's money in terms of being iconic and I think it's the best chronograph ever made, although I chose the 1815 Chornograph for my collection.

jackal981 · 18 October 2018, 06:55 PM

Purchased my first Lange 1. White gold with blue steel hands (known as 101.027x). Finishing is on par with patek and the movement is definitely far better looking

MP5 · 18 October 2018, 07:28 PM

Up/down dato or 1815 chrono for me
