With A. Lange & Söhne Guarantee Certificate dated 27 November 1998 stamped by A. Türler, Berlin, product literature, Türler Berlin original receipt dated 27 November 1998, copy of A.

The "Langematik" model was introduced into the market in 1997, featuring A. Lange & Söhne's first wristwatch with automatic movement since the revival of the company in 1995.
The newly developed in-house calibre L921.4 is fitted with Lange's patented "zero-reset" mechanism, simplifying the synchronization of the watch with a time signal. When the crown is pulled out, it automatically causes the seconds hand to jump to the 12 o'clock or "0" position.
The designation for Lange's self-winding movements, SAX-0-MAT, stands for "Saxony", the firm's state of origin; "0" is the numeral zero and signifies the zero-reset time-setting mechanism and "MAT" stands for automatic.
