Introducing the Nomos Club Automatic – 175 Years of Watchmaking Glashütte Limited Edition
Nomos has accustomed us to big watches, with big movements and with a minimalist design from the Bauhaus school, although all their models are made to high standards and with the same dedication as the most expensive watch in their collection, they fit well into the common of people and in any environment, because they are truly versatile and I must confess that I like that, ok, maybe the Ludwig and Lambda collections are a little more dressed up, but even them look great with a pair of jeans and a T-shirt and if you add a textile strap, you rocks!
Since last year, Nomos has been celebrating the 175th anniversary of Glashütte Watchmaking and so far, to remember this milestone has launched two special limited-edition models, first, the Ludwing , second, the Lambda and now the third, the Club. This new limited edition is offered in three colour variants, namely: Club automatic onyx (galvanized black dial), Club automatic marine (blue dial) and Club automatic olive (green dial).
The 40mm stainless steel case comes with the traditional polish finished, a slightly wider bezel, sapphire crystal on the front and on the screw case back, 9.7 mm thick and 200 m water resistance. The dial, regardless of the variant chosen, is very readable even at night, thanks to the glow blue filling in the hour numerals, indexes and hands.
The watch is powered by the In-house movement DUW 5001, which was the first automatic movement manufactured by the company and introduced in 2005, has high accuracy, hacking seconds, bidirectional winding rotor and offers up to 43 hours of power reserve.
The marine and olive green variants are suggested with blue-black and grey fabric textile straps respectively, while the onyx is suggested with a sports bracelet, which according to Nomos is exceptionally comfortable. Despite this, each of the three variants can be purchased with a textile strap, bracelet or sports bracelet.
The watches will be available in March at the Nomos online store and at selected retailers, each colour variant is limited to 175 pieces, starting at the price of € 1,960. In addition, they come in an elegant black leather wallet, perfect for storing or travels.
