Big love for the Nomos brand...and my answer to the greediness of the traditional Swiss brands.

But it surely applies to Nomos. Other German brands are doing the same as the Swiss brands.

and the quick date change a major improvement. The way to display the date is very elegant though maybe not very visible. My probable favorite is the Metro date power reserve though it lacks the quick date change and the way to show it is nothing special.. I love to see posts with Nomos watches!

In fact that was the first Nomos that I owned quite a few years ago.
I let it go because it felt a bit too small on my wrist and the date change mechanism drove me crazy .

Then I bought a vintage Rolex and learned what a REALLY frustrating non-quick-change date wheel is like!

I've owned 7 or 8 Nomoi over the years but this is the only one in the collection currently, and is one of my longest-tenured watches (I bought it immediately upon release in 2014):

Nice Bauhaus style watch. The date indication is clever. A brand still with a good price performance ratio like Oris on the Swiss border.

Does not take much to make a dial so attractive. Thanks. 

that the lower price reflects the quality of the watch. Not really comparable to many of the famous Swiss offerings. I am obviously biased  as a 🇨🇭but I found the Nomos pretty baisc so appropriate for the price but the Autobahn is certainly not cheap vs Omega at a much higher quality point (and cool factor too, 007).
