Nomos Glashütte 38 Series Watch Review
Wednesday - 17 July 2013
The classic Nomos Glashütte Tagente, Ludwig and Orion watches are now available with a larger 38 mm case size.
Nomos Glashütte has offered larger sized watches with a date function for a while, but the classic styles without a date had remained at their original 35 mm diameter. The brand noted this as a "gap in its range" given the trend for larger case sizes, and has now launched four new timepieces: the Tangente 38, Ludwig 38, Orion 38, and the Orion 38 Grau with a grey dial.
"The watches have grown as the way people see things have changed over the years," the brand says. "The classic watches - which once seemed fine on a man's wrist - nowadays appear a bit small to many."
