A replica Saxonia Date is a slim, big-date dress watch built for people who like the quiet German look without the auction-house budget. The short answer: it gives you a thin polished case, applied baton indexes and an outsize date in a mechanical package you can actually wear daily. It is a replica, not a genuine A. Lange & Söhne, and it is sold as such.
Key Features
- Slim polished case, about 38.5 mm wide and under 10 mm thick
- Outsize double-disc date window at 12 o'clock, legible at a glance
- Small seconds subdial at 6 o'clock with a slim baton hand
- Sapphire crystal with an inner anti-reflective coating
- Exhibition caseback showing a decorated mechanical movement
- Hand-stitched alligator-grain leather strap with a signed clasp
- Splash-resistant for daily wear, not rated for swimming
Materials and Specifications
Cases are cut from 316L stainless steel and finished with a mix of polished bezel and brushed lugs, so the watch reads bright without shouting. The dial is brass with a fine silvered finish, a printed minute track and applied steel indexes matched to leaf-shaped hands. Inside sits a hand-wound or automatic mechanical movement, running at 28,800 vph with hacking seconds and a power reserve past 40 hours. Lug width is 19 mm, and the crystal is double-coated on the inside for glare control.
Shipping, Returns and Support
Orders ship free with tracked delivery, usually within one to two business days, in plain packaging with no brand markings on the outside. If the watch is not right, return it unworn with the protective film intact within 30 days for a refund or exchange. Movements carry a 12-month warranty, and support answers sizing or strap questions by email.
How close is it to the original design?
Proportions, dial layout, date font and case profile follow the genuine Saxonia closely. Differences show up in the finishing, with no hand-engraved balance cock or solid gold case, and in the movement architecture.
Will it fit a smaller wrist?
Yes. At 38.5 mm with roughly 46 mm lug-to-lug, it suits wrists from about 6 to 7.5 inches, and the slim profile slides easily under a shirt cuff.
When should I set the date?
Change the date only while the watch is running and the time is outside the 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. window, when the discs are engaged. Use the crown or the recessed corrector, then reset the time.
