A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange 260.028 'Pour le Mérite' White Gold Black Dial Limited Edition of 218 (2026)

Limited to 218 pieces and sold only through Lange boutiques, the Richard Lange 'Pour le Mérite' 260.028 revived in 2016 a model first issued in 2009 in Platinum and Rose Gold with enamel dials. This edition moved to White Gold with a Black dial of solid silver, and the run of 218 was set to match the number of Lange points of sale worldwide. Like every 'Pour le Mérite' watch, it is built around a fusée-and-chain transmission.

The fusée and chain, a tapered pulley linked to the barrel by a chain, keeps the force from the mainspring even as it runs down; the chain is on view through the sapphire caseback. On the 40.5 mm dial, white Roman numerals and a minute track with red quarter accents sit on black, with a recessed small seconds at 6 o'clock in a circular finish. Rhodium-finished gold hands and a black alligator strap complete it.
