Gerard, known as jlux on the forums, presents a compelling challenge to the WatchProSite community: selecting one of Nomos's 31 limited edition Tangente watches. His pre-selection of four distinct models invites readers to consider not just aesthetics, but also the subtle design nuances that elevate a watch from appealing to truly wearable. This article distills the community's immediate reactions and detailed observations, offering valuable insights for anyone navigating the extensive Nomos Tangente 38 '31 Flavours' collection.

You may have noticed that Nomos has issued a series of limited Tangente watches in not less than 31 different dial variations.

I like Nomos a lot and I am planning to get me one of these watches ....but which one out of all these variations ???

Some are clearly meant for a younger audience,some are not to my taste and some more for women (this is clearly a unisex watch).

I have made a preselection of 4 models that I could see myself wearing with pleasure:

Now,regardless whether you like Nomos,the watch ....or the presence of a date ,which one of those would you choose ?

In alphabetical order :

No. 1 "Love"

Nr. 2 "Peace"

Nr. 3 "Super Sardine"

Nr. 4 "Zirkus"

Looking forward to your votes !!!

Thanks,

Gerard

Key Points from the Discussion

The 'Super Sardine' (Nr. 3) emerged as a strong favorite due to its cohesive color scheme and versatile appeal, with several members highlighting its legibility and seamless integration of the date disc.
Initial concerns were raised regarding the potential mismatch between the date disc's white color and the dial's off-white on certain models, particularly 'Zirkus' (Nr. 4).
The original author, jlux, noted that Nomos's official website images might not accurately represent the date disc color, suggesting that videos or in-person viewing could reveal a better match.
One contributor observed that even if the date window's color isn't perfectly creamy, it can still blend effectively and complement the sub-seconds dial, as seen in 'Super Sardine'.
The 'Love' (Nr. 1) and 'Peace' (Nr. 2) models were considered less appealing by some due to their index and numeral color choices, which were perceived as less engaging.

Don‘t really like the different colour choices for Indexes and arabic numerals on the first two and I find them to be a bit boring choices. I actually prefer the overall colours of Nr 4 to the ones of Nr 3, but the date disc white and dial white don‘t seem to match, which is a big minus for me. So overall Nr 3 wins for me.

#3 for me also with an added bonus that the font color of date disc numbers match the dial numbers, so the whole date disc seamlessly integrates into the dial.

On the Nomos pictures the date disc seems to be of a different white than the dials. I checked some videos and there the colour seemed to match perfectly ; to be checked in real !!

For the off-white dial variants I believe (and hope !!) that the Nomos website pictures do not show the correct colour of the date disk.

I see that you prefer the lighter colour schemes.
