The Saxonia 211.026, seen from the bench

The Saxonia 211.026 embodies Saxon watchmaking heritage with its refined design philosophy that prioritizes simplification over excess. This 18k white gold model features a 40mm case diameter and a 20mm lug width, proportioned for understated elegance without visual ostentation. The manual-wind L093.1 caliber, with three-quarter platinum architecture and hand-finished decoration including damaskeening and perlage, represents contemporary European horological excellence. The white gold case combines satin finishing on flat surfaces with mirror polish on edges, defining German refinement through light and shadow contrast.

Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia 211.026?

The lug width is 20mm. This dimension represents the distance between the two horizontal attachment pins on the case and is one of the most versatile standards in watchmaking. Always verify compatibility by measuring the space between the lugs before purchasing an aftermarket strap.

What is the best strap for the Saxonia 211.026?

Alligator leather in vegetable tanning remains the traditional benchmark for this category. The natural texture of the scales creates visual movement without aggression, and the patina that develops over years enhances the Saxon character. For versatile daily wear, smooth calf in deep brown offers sobriety and practicality whilst maintaining formal elegance.

How do you change the strap on the Saxonia 211.026?

The change requires removal of the spring bars — small horizontal springs that connect the strap to the case. Use a dedicated spring bar removal tool to compress the springs and slide the strap off the pins, without forcing. A professional watchmaker can complete the operation in minutes to ensure maximum precision.

Are aftermarket 20mm straps compatible with the 211.026?

Yes. Any strap with a 20mm lug width is mechanically compatible. However, we recommend selecting materials and finishes that respect the aesthetic of the model: alligator, calf, shell cordovan in vegetable tanning maintain coherence with Lange & Söhne's constructive philosophy.

How long does a leather strap last on a watch worn daily?

A high-quality leather strap, in vegetable tanning, lasts 3–5 years with intensive daily use, and up to 7–8 years with moderate wear. The determining factors are: frequency of wear, exposure to sweat, humidity and sunlight, and quality of tanning. Regular maintenance (gentle cleaning, conditioning every six months) significantly extends longevity.
