More style for the wrist: With a 38-millimeter diameter, Ludwig is even more decisive. Manual winding and a stainless steel back reveal its traditional spirit, and the dial with Roman numerals and railroad minute markers keeps it classical as well. The tempered blue hands and stainless steel case bring a contrasting touch of modernity.
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.
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.
