The Nomos Metro Neomatik 41 Update Ice Blue boasts a 40.5mm stainless steel case, paired with a striking ice blue dial and an in-house automatic caliber. This new model, reference 1166, is part of Nomos' effort to blend recognizable visual identity with in-house mechanical design. The watch features a 9.1mm thickness, making it suitable for everyday wear, including under a shirt cuff.
The watch's case is topped with a curved sapphire crystal, providing high scratch resistance and protecting the dial from daily wear and tear. A transparent sapphire crystal case back allows for a view of the automatic movement. The watch comes with a dark grey textile strap, made from a woven and water-resistant material, and features a Winged clasp in stainless steel.
The Metro Neomatik 41 Update Ice Blue has a water resistance rating of 5 ATM, making it suitable for occasional exposure to water, but not for prolonged aquatic activities or diving. The watch's dial features a galvanic finish, giving it a luminous appearance with varying reflections. The hour and minute hands have a rhodium finish, while the seconds hand is in a light blue hue.
One of the standout features of this model is its peripheral date display. Unlike traditional watches, where the date appears in a window, the Metro Neomatik 41 Update Ice Blue displays the date around the dial. Two movable markers frame the current date, allowing for easy identification without disrupting the dial's visual balance.
At the heart of the watch is the DUW 6101 caliber, an in-house automatic movement measuring just 3.6mm in thickness. This movement is part of Nomos' neomatik family, designed to combine automatic winding, slim construction, and contemporary mechanical architecture. The caliber features 42 jewels and offers a 50-hour power reserve.
The DUW 6101 movement utilizes an automatic winding system, harnessing the wearer's movements to power the mainspring. A visible oscillating weight, seen through the transparent case back, rotates in response to the wearer's movements, ensuring a consistent power supply.
With its unique blend of style, functionality, and in-house mechanical expertise, the Nomos Metro Neomatik 41 Update Ice Blue is set to appeal to watch enthusiasts seeking a sophisticated timepiece. The watch's combination of a striking ice blue dial, peripheral date display, and advanced automatic movement makes it a notable addition to Nomos' Metro collection.
