The addition "neomatik" is given to all watch models that feature the innovative automatic calibers from NOMOS Glashütte: DUW 3001, DUW 3202 (with a world time function) and DUW 6101 (with a date function). These automatic movements are among the thinnest in the world and are highly precise —thanks to a special design and the NOMOS swing system.
Why are neomatik movements from NOMOS Glashütte so thin?
The secret to the ultra-thin neomatik movements lies in their efficient design. All components have been successfully integrated into the space between the base plate and the three-quarter plate, minimizing the distances between the components without compromising stability or the power reserve. The transmission of the gear train was optimized, which in turn made it possible to reduce the size of other components. DUW 3001 measures just 3.2 mm in height, DUW 6101 with a date function is 3.6 mm, and DUW 3202 with a world time mechanism is 4.8 mm. This striking slenderness allows NOMOS Glashütte to make elegant automatic models—as always, in-house in Glashütte, Germany.
What else characterizes the neomatik movements from NOMOS Glashütte?
Another feature of the neomatik movements is the NOMOS swing system, an in-house built escapement that guarantees exceptional accuracy. They also feature a bidirectional winding rotor with an outstanding efficiency of 94 percent. The DUW 6101 date caliber is also distinguished by its patented date change mechanism, which conveniently includes quick adjustment in both directions. The switching and locking times of the movement are particularly short—at 30 and 90 minutes respectively. The date ring is positioned around the outside of the movement, which keeps the movement thin and allows for a generous date window positioned right at the edge of the dial.
Which NOMOS watches are equipped with neomatik movements?
The neomatik calibers DUW 3001, DUW 3202, and DUW 6101 are at work in both dress watches and sports watches from NOMOS Glashütte. The neomatik technology was introduced in 2015 with the neomatik 1st edition, a limited series that included two versions each of Tangente, Minimatik, Metro, Orion, and Ludwig. Since then, Ahoi, Autobahn, Club Sport, and Tetra have also been released as neomatik watches. The new automatic movements have become the NOMOS standard, and the exceptional quality of these calibers is renowned worldwide.
