Tangente 38

Description

Really quite handsome: With a 38 mm diameter, the design classic from NOMOS Glashütte appears even thinner and more elegant with simply perfect proportions for more robust wrists. The reliable and entirely classic manually-wound NOMOS DUW 4001 caliber ticks inside visible through the sapphire crystal glass back. A larger timepiece, handcrafted for life.

Details

The hands shine cornflower blue—their color is created by heating to 290°C, according to the long-held watchmaking tradition.
Unmistakably Tangente: five numerals with typography reminiscent of the Bauhaus era. And typically NOMOS Glashütte: the sub-seconds dial, which allows the dial to appear entirely clean.
At 38 millimeters, Tangente has grown in diameter, but its height is characteristically small. This makes its side profile even more elegant.

Impression

More Tangente—just under three millimeters, to be precise, in comparison to the classic 35-millimeter version. The angular case appears even more slender.
