ORION NEOMATIK

Polished to a gleam, silver-plated, elegantly domed, with faceted golden indices and tempered blue hands: Nomos Glashütte presents Orion neomatik.

The stunning three new watches are each limited to 175 pieces: Orion neomatik, Orion neomatik 39 and Orion neomatik 41 date. All three have role models: historic watches once made by master Glashütte horologists.

The Nomos model on which the three new watches are based - the classic Orion - has garnered a certain amount of fame as an archetypical watch. Appearing with a new look and adjusted in six positions to chronometer values, the three new members of this family celebrate the history of this watchmaking town, and for the first time ever, the small seconds dial has not been recessed into the dial, lending the watch further elegance.

As part of their highly respected training, students at the Glashütte school of watchmaking made timepieces which were anything but “practice watches.” They were, in fact, timepieces crafted to demonstrate the full breadth and depth of their skill. These watches were housed in cases made of silver rather than the usual gold. Watches bearing indices instead of numerals. Watches of the very finest caliber.

The Nomos special series Orion neomatik - 175 Years

Watchmaking Glashütte with new watches in 36, 39 and 41 millimeters (one with a date display, two without) houses automatic Nomos calibers, all of which are signed and numbered at the workshop, celebrating all the Glashütte features, including a threequarter plate, Glashütte ribbing and tempered blue screws. Even DUW 6101, the movement featuring a date mechanism, which ticks away inside the Orion neomatik 41 date - the largest of the three watches - is extremely sleek. Always comprised of three parts, the stainless steel case (with a domed sapphire crystal front and back featuring an anti-reflective coating on both sides), the tempered blue hands above the domed, polished, galvanized and white silver-plated dial (with indices embossed in gold) and the crown engraved with the Nomos logo round out these beautiful watches.

With a vertical integration that far exceeds legal requirements, they not only satisfy the so called Glashütte Regulation, they surpass it with ease. And so it is that Orion neomatik, Orion neomatik 39 and Orion neomatik 41 date, along with all their visible and hidden merits, combine traditional artisanry with modern technology - both on the wrist and as an investment.
