Nomos Glashütte Ahoi Neomatik 38 Sand / Closed Case Back Ref. 517

The NOMOS Ahoi neomatik 38 date sand 517 is a date-equipped version of the Ahoi with a sand-colored dial, combining the collection’s sport-oriented case construction with a large date display and automatic movement. Its stainless steel case measures 38.5mm in diameter, 9.8mm in height, and 48.7mm lug to lug. The construction is secured with six screws and includes a screw-down crown with crown guard. A domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides is paired here with a solid steel case back. Water resistance is rated to 20 atm. The dial is sand colored and carries a large date positioned toward the outer edge. The hour indexes are filled with white Super-LumiNova, while the rhodium-plated hour and minute hands feature white luminous inlays. An orange seconds hand adds contrast. The gold “neomatik” text marks the movement generation, and the red warning ring on the crown indicates when the crown is not fully screwed down. Inside is the NOMOS DUW 6101, an in-house automatic movement with 27 jewels and a power reserve of up to 42 hours. Its date ring is arranged around the movement, allowing a large date display while keeping the caliber relatively thin. This reference is fitted on a dark gray woven textile strap with a 20mm lug width and a square stainless steel winged clasp.
