This model was created specially for the 100th anniversary of renowned jeweller and retailer Wempe in 2005. Only 100 pieces were produced in platinum; the watch was sold exclusively at Wempe in Germany.
The GROSSE LANGEMATIK GANGRESERVE ("GRAND LANGEMATIK POWER RESERVE") is fitted with a Sax-0-Mat movement and a zero reset function. The Sax-0-Mat is Lange’s own automatic winding system and the zero reset lets the seconds hand jump to zero when the crown is pulled, hence the spelling 0 in the name "Sax-0-Mat". This patented mechanism ensures an easy and precise setting of the time and is perfect for all marine chronometers - their accuracy was vital for the navigation of the ships and thus crucial for the lives of the crews.
