Let this watch wind itself: This most classic of all NOMOS timepieces is also available with the automatic NOMOS caliber DUW 5001—with a 40-millimeter diameter, the perfect choice for confident yet traditional types. The rotor works efficiently under the white silver-plated dial. From the other side, you can watch it through the sapphire crystal glass back.
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.
Ludwig automatic is somewhat larger than the original version, and appears a little more robust. That means it is not only fluent in Latin, but also versed in late Roman martial arts.
Impression
As much Ludwig as can be: Equipped with the automatic caliber DUW 5001, this model measures 40 millimeters in diameter.
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.

Caliber
The first NOMOS automatic caliber and the one with which NOMOS Glashütte launched its in-house caliber production in 2005. Since then, it has been ticking with outstanding winding accuracy—and now with our NOMOS swing system too, which is to say: with independence at its heart.
