The purist among the NOMOS Metro versions: extra large and pared down, with a clear, refined dial, designed by Mark Braun. A hand-wound watch that concentrates on the important details and gives time plenty of space—while its design remains a little ahead of the times. With delicate hands and minute markers on the white silver-plated dial perfect down to the dot, this is simply a wonderful watch.
Hitting the spot! The delicate minute markers on Metro 38, surrounded with plenty of space.
Without a power reserve indicator and date window, this watch is even more elegant, refined, and thanks to a growth spurt, more masculine too.
Metro has a simply beautiful side profile, demonstrating how elegant and slender a mechanical watch can be.
Prizes and awards

Impression
Metro makes its presence felt—here a tick bigger, with a 38.5-millimeter diameter. Its slender bezel gives the dial space and lets the watch appear even larger.

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.
