The NOMOS icon in color. Full of energy and complexity. For this special edition of the hand-wound Tangente 38 date model, numerous elements of the dial have been individually matched to the character of the watch. 31 special models for every day of the month, 31 different personalities—each limited to 175 pieces. Straightforward, almost architectural, gray defines the elements of this dial. For us, it is the gray of the gray shark that swims through lagoons and canals in tropical regions. A no-nonsense watch for those who are not in the mood for niceties.
Tangente is probably the best-known German wristwatch and has been impressing with its clarity and elegance for over 30 years. The high-quality textile strap in dark gray underlines the dynamic character of this colorful special edition. It is tailor made for NOMOS Glashütte in France.
The slender typography of Tangente and the dial with the traditional sub-seconds dial are unmistakable and yet come into their own in every color composition.
A watch in gray and sand—the light outer ring corresponds with the seconds, the hour and minute markers, and the NOMOS logo.
The date background is also shark-gray, with cream-colored date numerals. Caliber DUW 4101 is handcrafted 175 times with a shark-gray date ring especially for this limited-edition watch model.
Inside ticks the handcrafted date movement DUW 4101 with the NOMOS swing system, regulated according to chronometer values for the special edition. The name of the watch and the limited edition engraving can be found on the back.
Tangente is famous for this elegant profile: the flat stainless steel case with angled lugs is only 6.8 mm in height, even with the date mechanism.
