Hi, guys! This is Balazs. Welcome to another Zoom episode. Today, we are
going to be talking about the NOMOS Tangente Neomatik Update Reference 180 –
a watch that, at first glance, looks pretty simple but upon further
inspection, you can see it features a very special, innovative date mechanism.
Before we get into it, I just wanted to mention that we have a lot of
other Zoom videos, reviews, watch talks, and how-tos, and more videos are on the way.
So, if you're into watches, make sure to subscribe to our channel and click the
bell to get a notification whenever we upload a new video.
Now, let's have a look at the NOMOS Neomatik. So, we have a steel case,
which is 40.5 mm in diameter and only 7.8
millimeters thick. It is water-resistant up to five atm (or 50 m/164 ft).
According to NOMOS, it is suitable for showering. The watch has a display
case back – a beautiful large display case back, as you can see. It has a highly
decorated movement, but we'll come back to that later. There's sapphire crystal with
an anti-reflective coating. The dial is galvanized with a white silver-plated
date ring. The ring is around the edge of the dial, as you can see. There are little
cutouts for the between each date, with two red dots
indicating the date. The number between the two red dots, which, in this case, is 26, is
the date. There are oxidized black hands and a small seconds second dial at 6
o'clock. As I said, the date runs around the dial's edge.
By the way, if you'd like to learn more about how NOMOS watches are
designed, developed, and produced, make sure to check out our "Visits" video about
NOMOS. It gives you an in-depth view of the brand and NOMOS' two
facilities in Glashütte and Berlin. During our visit, we had the chance to
talk to the CEO of NOMOS, as well as their designers and head of design
engineering. It's pretty interesting, so make sure to
check out the video by clicking on the info card. This watch uses the caliber
DUW6101. As you can see, it's an automatic movement with 27 jewels and
a power reserve of up to 42 hours. And it's only 3.6 millimeters thick.
It's a highly decorated, beautiful in-house movement from NOMOS.
It's a very interesting mechanical movement because this is the first
Neomatik caliber in NOMOS's catalog to have a date function.
What's more, the date is easy to set. The crown has three positions. In the
first or "home" position, as NOMOS calls it, you can wind this automatic watch
by hand, just as you would a manual watch. The second
position is the quick-set date. You can set the date forward or
backward. In the third position, you can
set the time. The strap on the NOMOS Neomatik 180 is a Horween
leather strap. It is a genuine shell cordovan leather strap. The strap
is 20 mm wide and has a nice, square steel in NOMOS buckle.
The NOMOS Neomatik 180 is an aesthetically pleasing and versatile
watch. With its innovative date mechanism, it is also a very interesting
and unique model. It has a retail price of €3,200 ($4,100). On Chrono24, it sells for
around €2,300 ($2,500) and up. Our Chrono24 data show that the Neomatik Update 180
was the bestselling NOMOS on our site in 2019. If you are watching this video,
chances are that you're also interested in it. In which case, you can check it out
