In 1997 A. Lange & Söhne launched the "LANGEMATIK Sax-0-Mat", available with or without date and engraved and finely finished 21 K gold and platinum micro-rotor. This is the first automatic wristwatch ever produced by this Saxon maker of high-end timepieces. The model also features a reset function of the second hand, the so-called ZERO RESET. The second hand automatically jumps to zero when the crown is pulled, hence the spelling 0 in the name "Sax-0-Mat".
