For collectors, the A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus represents a milestone: the brand’s first true modern sports watch, reimagined in precious white gold. References 363.068 and 363.038 bring a striking blend of refinement and versatility — precisely the qualities that inspired us to create an integrated strap solution worthy of this remarkable timepiece.
Today, we’re proud to announce our latest custom-order release: Delugs straps designed exclusively for the Odysseus in 750 White Gold, combining precise fitment, premium materials and everyday wearability.
A Purpose-Built Strap for a Singular Watch
The Odysseus has always challenged convention. With the 363.068 and 363.038, it pairs a precious metal case with a dynamic rubber or leather strap — a statement of modern luxury that doesn’t compromise on practicality.
Our team engineered a set of proprietary adapters that deliver a seamless, integrated fit, respecting the Odysseus design language while opening up entirely new possibilities for personalisation.
Whether you choose handcrafted leather or sailcloth, each Delugs strap sits flush against the lugs and case flanks, preserving the clean lines that define the Odysseus silhouette.
Adaptable By Design
To complement the watch’s sporty heritage, this strap solution is designed to be as flexible as it is beautiful:
-
Multiple material choices:
-
Premium leathers for a refined aesthetic.
-
FKM rubber for uncompromising durability and all-weather versatility.
-
-
Buckle options:
-
Choose between the Delugs Classic Buckle or our Spring Deployant Clasp.
-

We've paid special attention to the design and function of our Odysseus adapters. When we began the project, we discovered that while it was possible to design fitted straps without adapters (which is how the OEM straps are made), reliability became a concern as attaching them became hit-or-miss. Developing the adapters took some time, as we also had to find a way to balance the adapter's load-bearing capabilities (to withstand pulling) and curvature (for a more aesthetically pleasing shape near the lug-end).
While it's been two years since the original idea for the Odysseus straps took root, we've improved on it to account for the various strap materials we've introduced since then. With the adapters as an integral part of the design, we're now able to extend more material options to Odysseus owners without compromising on fit or consistency.
Custom-Order Details
This release is offered exclusively on a made-to-order basis to ensure every strap is crafted to the highest standards and delivered exactly as you envision. Aside from our usual leather and sailcloth material options, you can choose from either our preset sizes — XS (95/60) to XL (135/80) — or specify your exact measurements to achieve a tailored fit. Picking tone-on-tone stitching will give your custom strap a very uniform look, while cream stitching will bring some contrast and 'pop' to the overall package. Of course, you can also choose to go off-menu with a stitching colour of your preference — this is YOUR custom order after all.
Make It Yours
The Odysseus is proof that heritage watchmaking can evolve without losing its soul. With our custom strap solution, you can bring out every dimension of its personality — whether you’re dressing it up for an evening out or taking it on your next adventure.
