WHILE EXISTING NOMOS LUDWIG MODELS FEATURE a date window with standard Arabic numerals at the 4 o ’ clock position , the new Ludwig Neomatik 41 Date offers this second , equally elegant , option that also just happens to perfectly match the Roman markers around the dial .
While we are not aware of other Roman numeral date displays , I suspect they exist . And while it ’ s unusual to use Roman date language , Nomos has moved the date window itself to the more traditional 3 o ’ clock position on the dial . The choice by Nomos here speaks to its dedication to providing stylish options for its fans .
Nomos can offer this option thanks to its use of the DUW 6101 proprietary movement that seamlessly powers a date ring while also remaining fairly flat ( 7.7mm thick ) and elegant . Indeed , Nomos utilizes the same movement throughout its collections when novel date displays are required , such as on its Autobahn , or when a date ring features into the designs , such as on the Nomos Tangente Update and Metro Update .
The automatic movement is visible through the sapphire back of the 40.5mm steel watch . The view exposes the movement ’ s Glashütte three-quarter plate finished with Glashütte ribbing , tempered blue screws and perlage on the mainplate .
The Nomos Ludwig Neomatik 41 Date arrives on a black Horween leather strap equipped with a stainless steel clasp .
Price : $ 4,000 .
