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. Tangente date Sportbunt was created in the style of the old, much-loved GDR tracksuit worn by our watch designer Thomas; the watch is also reminiscent of 70s fashion, Olympic rings, and the bright and cheerful days of youth.
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.
This appealing watch in light red with creamy white numerals and indexes has a turquoise minute ring and a golden yellow outer ring. The sub-seconds dial is dark red.
The date background is also light red with creamy white numerals. Caliber DUW 4101 with a light red date ring is handcrafted especially for the 175 pieces to which this special model is limited.
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.

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.
