Nomos Metro Neomatik 41 UpDate
Apr 07, 2021,10:23 AM
Nomos has released a new model of Metro with a date chapter around the perimeter. The orange date-ring allows rapid setting in both directions without any risk to the movement. The dial is clean and uncluttered. Nomos’s in-house DUW 6101 does the work here. The steel case is almost bezel-less and reminiscent of the old times, with nice wire-lugs. Syringe hands are precisely aligned and the dial without any hour markers, is balanced with a seconds subregister. Elegant and right priced ( €4660) are the words that come to my mind at first glance.

...because when I first saw it I thought, "aaack, there's too much going on there" -- somewhat odd to me since it's a Nomos. Another thing about Metros, but this could just be me: I sometimes need to do a double-take to ascertain the time. Maybe I get con...
I took a second look..

The syringe hands are signature Nomos design. The minute hand needle edge rests precisely on the minute-dot marker and is properly distinguishable from the short hour syringe. IMHO the use of the peripheral date ring leaves the dial without extra aperture...

MSRP is USD 4660.
In this example, what is the date?

The 2nd or 3rd? And if I have to ask? It's clever and original-ish... but... time/date should be a glance and done/ imho, even if a new idea...
The exact date is flanked..

..on either side by the orange backlight. I guess the wearer gets used to intuitively reading after a couple of times. This is true of the perimeter based date display of watches like zeitwerk or for that matter the reading of time on a regulator display....
Thanks.

OK, so in pic it is the 3rd?
