Ludwig automatic

Reference 251

Description

Let this watch wind itself: This most classic of all NOMOS timepieces is also available with the automatic NOMOS caliber DUW 5001—with a 40-millimeter diameter, the perfect choice for confident yet traditional types. The rotor works efficiently under the white silver-plated dial. From the other side, you can watch it through the sapphire crystal glass back.

Details

Ludwig features Roman numerals, but with IIII instead of IV. This follows watchmaking traditions—and the preferences of the NOMOS design team.
The soft side of Ludwig: the lugs fit perfectly snug to the wrist.
Ludwig automatic is somewhat larger than the original version, and appears a little more robust. That means it is not only fluent in Latin, but also versed in late Roman martial arts.

Impression

As much Ludwig as can be: Equipped with the automatic caliber DUW 5001, this model measures 40 millimeters in diameter.

Fabian has a wrist circumference of 18.5 cm (7.3") and a strap length of M.
