Nomos - Metro neomatik 41 Update and Tangente neomatik 41 Update Midnight Blue

Nomos Glashütte is extending its patented date indication to the Tangente neomatik 41 Update Midnight Blue and the Metro neomatik 41 Update. Prices

Following the launch of the Tangente 41 Update with silver-plated dial in 2018 and the Tangente 41 Update with ruthenium dial in 2019, Nomos Glashütte is now extending its patented date indication to a third Tangente version as well as, for the first time, to a model of the Metro collection.

The Tangente neomatik 41 Update Midnight Blue maintains the classic aesthetic but with a sportier look thanks to a deep blue dial and the fluorescent green colour used for the two markers that frame the current date. In the dark, they shine bright green.

The stainless steel case is 41 mm (or more precisely 40.5 mm) wide and just 7.8 mm thick thanks to the slim self-winding movement it houses.

The Tangente neomatik 41 Update Midnight Blue is matched to a high-quality Horween Genuine Shell Cordovan strap but it can be optionally be equipped with a satin brushed steel bracelet. 

The other model is the Metro neomatik 41 Update that comes in a 40.5 mm x 9.1 mm stainless case featuring wire lugs that strongly characterise the overall design.

Protected by a domed sapphire crystal, the white silver-plated dial is animated by the neon orange colour of the date ring. 

A textile dark gray, woven, waterproof strap with quick-change spring bars is the choice for this model.

Both watches are waterproof to 5 ATM, which makes them suitable for showering, and powered by the in-house built DUW 6101 caliber, whose quick-change date function can be easily set with a slight turn of the crown in either direction. Beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, this self-winding movement offers 42 hours of power reserve.

Its excellent finishes can be appreciated through the sapphire crystal caseback. It is characterised by the typical three-quarter plate architecture, the ribbing polish and the thermally-blued screws as well as the tempered blue balance spring denoting the proprietary Nomos escapement. 

The Tangente neomatik 41 Update Midnight Blue ref. 182 has a price of Euro 3,200 while the Metro neomatik 41 Update ref. 1165 reatails at Euro 3,500. nomos-glashuette.com
