This watch speaks Latin in this contemporary masculine sizing as well—and appears more decisive and modern with a 38-millimeter diameter. The tempered blue hands bring a touch of revolution to the classical dial with Roman numerals. Within, tradition reigns supreme: the hand-wound DUW 4001 caliber, crafted in Glashütte.
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.
The diameter has grown slightly, which makes Ludwig 38 appear a tick more slender and elegant. This watch measures less than seven millimeters in height.
Made in Glashütte, Germany: Precision timekeeping, award-winning design, and exceptional craftmanship—perfect all around.
Impression
More Ludwig: 37.5 millimeters, to be exact. A practical addition: the date. The case tapers downwards and is as round as a pebble—which makes the watch wear even larger and flatter on the wrist.
Fabian has a wrist circumference of 18.5 cm (7.3") and a strap length of M.

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.
