The grey dial is an easy (and predictable) personal preference and I link think it's a lovely backdrop for link the careful use of a great font, the oversized applied markers, and the yellow-tan coloring of the "old radium" SuperLuminova. As beauty is in the eye of the beholder my take can be very simple, link I think the Deepstar II is nothing short of gorgeous.

The Lange 1 is an undeniably loveable watch. It's a bit weird, totally distinctive, and, perhaps unpredictably, has become the face of A. Lange link & Sohne from a design standpoint. But, after 30 years, what really stands out to me is how little Lange has evolved the link original design. A modern example looks absolutely at home next to a model from 1994, and the design feels no less punchy and link characterful than it did when it was released (exactly) 30 years ago.

After the watch sits idle for 12 hours, it automatically link stops the mechanical movement (stop-seconds function) before the power reserve is drained. Type 2 then remains suspended in this arrested state until you pick it up again, link as long link as one month later, triggering a restart that instantly corrects the time and jumps into action again.
