Strap for Odysseus White Gold / Grey / Rubber
Integrated bracelet: measurements, the most common questions, and the way to a made-to-measure strap.
Integrated bracelet
The A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus 363.068 is designed with a bracelet integrated into the case. For a compatible made-to-measure strap, the Casati Milano atelier builds it on your watch.

Frequently asked questions
Can a standard strap be fitted to the A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus 363.068?
No. The bracelet is integrated directly into the case: there are no standard lugs to attach a conventional strap. The connection is proprietary and requires a completely different approach. At the atelier, I build the strap to measure, starting from the actual geometry of the case.
How does the bespoke strap service work for the Odysseus?
I work by appointment only at <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, at Via XX Settembre 15 in Milan. I take measurements directly from the case, without relying on technical sheets or generic references. That is the only way I can ensure the strap works in harmony with the white gold case as though it were always part of it.
Which leather do I recommend for this Odysseus?
I recommend naturally aged Barenia. The Odysseus is a sports watch with a deeply elegant character, and Barenia shares that same quality: it starts firm and precise, then softens and moulds to the wrist over time. That transformation tells the story of use — exactly as a great watch should.
How long does a well-made strap last?
With basic care — keeping it away from water and letting it breathe after a warm day — a quality leather strap easily lasts five to eight years. Barenia in particular does not deteriorate: it evolves. After a few years it looks better than the day you first held it.
Why did A. Lange & Söhne decide to make a sports watch?
When Lange presented the Odysseus in 2019, it was a deliberate statement: to show that Saxon watchmaking from Glashütte could take on the sports format without losing its identity. The white gold case with its articulated link bracelet is not a compromise — it is a declaration of character. I have seen very few watches capable of holding that tension between technical rigour and fluid form.
