Incoming Nomos #2

After getting my first Nomos (Club Datum) last January I knew that I would eventually return to the brand for another one...and I did.
It has a clean, crisp, no nonsense dial in the German tradition. Perfect for a daily wearer and certainly suitable for dressy occasions.
Introducing the Tangente 38.

I have one, also. Very nice for dress or casual. The old watches were a pain to change the date, so you skip that. The original Horween strap is as good as it gets. Enjoy it!

It ticks all of the boxes and very happy without the date.
Love the strap too. It came with the black but I was offered the brown too as a throw in so very pleased about that too.

Really nice watch. Can you keep track of accuracy for a day or two and report back?

Sure. I can do that.
Just so you know, it’s manual wind, not automatic.

Good choice. Clean Bauhaus inspired design. Definitely a modern classic.

Very nice Angelo!! One of the few Nomos I haven’t really had a lot of time with.

They are going to knock it out of the park at Basel if what I am hearing is true.

I am hoping for a quickset date and center second hand. Prefer 40mm+ and with a deep blue dial.


Wearing the Metro PR today and love it more every time I wear it.

Mine is older than that of the OP. I think it’s 35mm in diameter. I have a small wrist.

Thanks Brandon.
I can’t wait to see what they reveal at Basel, especially if in a blue dial.

Nomos is like a watch-lovers secret. Wear one and everyone who knows watches knows you have a good watch.

I love my Nomos, it is a watch lovers’ secret, but I was miffed when someone asked me if it was a Skagen.

So far, after only 24 hours, it’s +0.1 seconds.

Let’s not let the Breitling Forum look at this thread! (Inside WIS joke on their well decorated faces, I am a happy Breitling Super Ocean owner).

Boy, this baby is running smooth as glass.
After four days it’s +0.5 seconds per day.
