Metro date power reserve, designed by Mark Braun, is young and sophisticated, yet Glashütte through and through. The power reserve indicator doesn’t only remind wearers when to rewind, it is also one of the design features. Others include hands as fine as quill tips and colorful hour indexes. And the hand-wound NOMOS caliber DUW 4401 is within, setting the pace, equipped with our proprietary escapement.
A statement piece from Glashütte—with a generously proportioned date and a power reserve indicator in mint and red.
Visible through the sapphire crystal glass back: the tempered blue balance spring. Yes, the in-house built NOMOS swing system is at work here.
Metro has a simply beautiful side profile, demonstrating how elegant and slender a mechanical watch can be.
The softly rounded lugs are set at an angle and ensure that the watch sits perfectly on the wrist.
The hour and minute hands taper elegantly, the minutes are represented by fine dots, and the date window is positioned harmoniously at six o'clock.
Prizes and awards
Good Design, Red Dot, German Design Award: Metro is wrapping one design prize jury after the other around its wrist.
Impression
Smart, slender, mechanical: With a 37-millimeter diameter, Metro date power reserve commands more space on the wrist but remains exceptionally slender, despite its complications. It flatters the wrist and eye alike, suiting him and her.

Sebastian has a wrist circumference of 18.5 cm (7.3") and a strap length of M.
