The gold additionally offers the watch an expensive contact, particularly together with the black dial. The date printed in gold reveals that Nomos does not minimize corners. You may have gotten away with white printing on a black date disc, however then the Nomos Orion Neomatic 41 Date would not be as subtle as it’s now.
Sure, even one thing as small as this element can elevate a watch to the next stage of horology, not less than for my part.
Whereas the identify of this Nomos appears to offer a clue to its diameter, the diameter of the Orion Neomatik shouldn’t be 41 mm, however 40.5 mm. Not that you’d discover, because the watch consists virtually totally of a dial with a slim bezel. This makes it seem bigger than it truly is, though the black dial mitigates this impact considerably.
Nomos saved the peak of the watch beneath management and it was just below 10mm, or 9.4mm. Due to the intelligent housing design, it seems even slimmer. Regardless that the crown seems fairly easy, it presents a number of help, which makes winding and adjusting these Nomos a breeze.
Lengthy tabs
Like all different watches on this assortment, the Orion Neomatik has comparatively lengthy lugs. Once I maintain the watch in my hand I by no means discover it very engaging, however as soon as it is on my wrist it seems good.
The one factor that bothers me is that on my modest wrist, the highest of the band is pulled down in order that the tip of the tabs sticks up within the air. A barely thicker bracelet would remedy this drawback for my wrist. It is also a visible factor, because the Nomos Orion Neomatic 41 Date is extraordinarily comfy to put on.
The bracelet matches completely with the remainder of the watch and is an integral a part of Nomos. Whereas the bracelet itself is made in Germany, the leather-based comes from the Chicago leather-based firm Horween. With over a century of expertise, they’ve turned tanning Cordovan leather-based into an artwork type. Nomos makes use of this noble materials sensibly and creates a supple bracelet (which isn’t all the time a given with Cordovan leather-based).
Notably noteworthy are the buckles, which not solely look good, however are additionally so properly designed that in addition they contribute to wonderful sporting consolation.
