This watch shows what NOMOS Glashütte is all about—continuously improving what already exists. This time, we have equipped our manual date caliber with a convenient quick-change function. And we have redesigned it so that it is no larger than before. On the dial, the innovation is celebrated by a two-part date display: the date ring around the edge and a large date window at 6 o'clock. This way, you can see the current day clearly and still keep an eye on the whole month. Tangente 2date is 37.5 millimeters in diameter and available in two dial versions: white silver plated or galvanized blue.

A change of perspective: The watch with two elegant date displays
The exclusive NOMOS ring date was previously only available in the Update versions of Tangente neomatik and Metro neomatik. With the new DUW 4601 caliber, a hand-wound watch can now also feature it for the first time. And because we do not do things by halves, the classic date display at 6 o'clock can continue to display the current date, while the ring date provides an overview of the month. It is the art of synchronicity in a watch.
The narrow serif numerals are a typical feature of the Tangente model. They can also be found in the date display at 6 o'clock. The grooved surface of the sub-seconds dial is called azurage.
The date ring, which forms the background of the date window, is the same color as the dial: a deep blue that means the date is clearly legible in white.
The richly decorated new movement can be seen through the sapphire crystal glass of the extra-large display back. To mark the occasion, we have covered it with magnificent fine sunbeam ribbing—including the date ring plate, which is on display here for the first time.

DUW 4601: The caliber with a sun salutation built in
The centerpiece of the fine sunbeam ribbing is the NOMOS swing system with its blue balance spring. An elegant skeletonized balance cock provides an almost complete view of the balance wheel.
The fine sunbeam ribbing extends to the date ring plate. The placement of the date ring around the movement is a NOMOS specialty. It glides gently on six rubies.
