We've built freedom into this sporty and elegant automatic watch. One look at the dial is all it takes, and the relaxing feeling of walking along the beach and letting your eyes wander towards the horizon sets in. The seconds hand in sunset orange naturally contributes to this as well. As does the impressive performance of this elegant, water-resistant watch equipped with the NOMOS swing system, a quick-change date, and screw-down crown. Ahoi neomatik 38 date sand fits every wrist, always lends individuality, and stands for complete freedom, all day long.
Impression
Automatic, sporty, and elegant too—with a diameter of just 38.5 millimeters and less than 10 millimeters in height in glittering sand. It does its job with ease. And it suits every occasion.

Safety instructions
NOMOS uses 316 L stainless steel for all cases and buckles. This type of stainless steel is not fully free of nickel, but it does not pass nickel on to the skin; the amount of nickel in the alloy is about 12 percent. Thus, the amount of nickel passed to the skin is less than 0.2 micrograms per square centimeter per week and far below the medicinally acceptable amount. Other stainless steel alloys might have a lower percentual amount of nickel in the alloy, but they pass more of it on to the skin.

Caliber
In all NOMOS calibers, the date ring is placed around the movement. In neomatik date, this caliber is particularly large. The first neomatik caliber with a date mechanism, it remains wonderfully slender. The date display can be made even clearer, and is particularly legible.
