An angular exterior with classic inner values: You either fall in love with Tetra immediately or never—but if you do, this watch will be with you for life. A white silver-plated dial, tempered blue hands, no frills. Style squared for those with character.
Tetra’s typography is reminiscent of Tangente. However, the sans serif numerals here are a touch more modern.
The NOMOS caliber Alpha is at work beneath the stainless steel back, held firm with four screws. With a height of just 2.6 mm, the hand-wound movement is extremely thin, highly precise, and finely regulated in six positions.
Prizes and awards
The prizes have been stacking up—Tetra wins you over with style, charm, and substance. And has done so for a quarter of a century.
Impression

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.
