It is simply the representative of the “thin and light industry” in the watch industry! This watch not only looks good, but also has excellent performance, which is really exciting. Want to know more about the highlights of this watch and the story behind it? Then read on!

NOMOS launches Ludwig series of watches

In 2021, the German watch brand NOMOS launched the limited edition watch 165.S50 of the Tangente series, with a red 12 hour mark to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the founding of Doctors Without Borders (ÄRZTE OHNE GRENZEN). This international humanitarian aid organization was founded in 1971 and has been committed to providing medical help in extreme situations such as wars and disasters. The red 12 hour mark symbolizes tribute to the cause of Doctors Without Borders, and also hopes to arouse more people’s attention to humanitarian causes.

Just this year, NOMOS launched the new Ludwig series watch 282.S2, which continues the design of red 12 hour markers. This symbolic design may attract more consumers who pay attention to humanitarian causes.

NOMOS has always hoped to convey the humanitarian spirit and reflect the brand’s social responsibility through the design of watches. In 2012, NOMOS reached a cooperation agreement with Doctors Without Borders and will donate a portion of its income to the organization every year to support its medical relief work around the world. The red 12 hour mark is the iconic language of cooperation between the two parties.

Tangente 165.S50

The Tangente series 165.S50 watch launched by NOMOS uses a 37.5 mm stainless steel case with a thickness of 6.7 mm, which is in line with current consumers’ aesthetic requirements for the size of men’s watches. It is worth mentioning that NOMOS is equipped with its own Alpha manual winding movement on this watch. The performance of the movement is already very good among watches in the same price range. It not only has a power reserve of about 43 hours, but also has very satisfactory travel time accuracy.

Judging from the dial design, this watch still has the consistent minimalist style of NOMOS. The warm milky white dial has almost no redundant elements except the red 12 hour mark and the black digital time mark on the outer ring. The red 12 hour mark is also the most eye-catching part of this watch.

As a limited edition, the market guide price of the Tangente 165.S50 watch is 1,490 euros, which is equivalent to about 11,500 yuan. Although the price is not cheap, it is still very cost-effective for a German-made mechanical watch.

Ludwig 282.S2

The newly launched Ludwig series 282.S2 watch is also equipped with a NOMOS self-made movement, but this time it is replaced with a thinner and lighter Lambda movement. This is also the thinnest self-made movement of NOMOS so far. This movement not only performs as well as most Swiss movements on the market in terms of performance, but is also quite beautiful in appearance. The thickness of the movement is only 3.6 mm, which is very top-notch in the entire watch industry.

This watch also uses a 37.5 mm stainless steel case with a thickness of only 8.5 mm. Overall, it is slightly thicker than the Tangente series, but it is still within a very ideal range and is very suitable for daily wear.

This watch also has a minimalist dial design, except that the outer ring numerals are replaced with black, while the inner ring continues to retain the red 12 hour markers. This bright color is very eye-catching against the warm milky white dial.

According to the information on the NOMOS official website, the market guide price of this watch is 3,380 euros, which is equivalent to about 25,300 yuan in RMB. This price is also worth buying for those who like it.

Conclusion

NOMOS has really put a lot of effort into watch design this time. It not only pursues the ultimate in craftsmanship, but also makes efforts to convey the humanitarian spirit.
