Ludwig Gold

The NOMOS Ludwig Gold 211.GOB first appeared in the early 2000s as the 35mm gold version of the Ludwig, at that time powered by the hand-wound Alpha movement. The current version pairs the same classical Ludwig format with an 18k yellow gold case, a solid gold case back, tempered blue hands, and the DUW 4001 calibre. The case measures 35mm in diameter, 6.3mm in height, and 45mm from lug to lug. It has a sapphire crystal front, a rounded and tapered case profile, and slightly curved lugs. The crown is also made from gold, matching the case and closed case back. Water resistance is rated to 3 atm. The galvanized white silver-plated dial is defined by Roman numeral hour markers, a railroad minute track, and a small seconds display at 6 o’clock. The railroad minute track is specific to the Ludwig line within the NOMOS collection. The tempered blue steel hands contrast with the pale dial surface, while the overall layout follows a traditional hand-wound dress watch configuration. Power comes from the NOMOS DUW 4001, a manually wound in-house calibre that replaced the earlier Alpha movement in this reference. It measures 10 ½ lignes in diameter and 2.6mm in height, has 17 jewels, and offers a power reserve of up to 53 hours. The watch is supplied on a black Horween Genuine Shell Cordovan remborde strap with an 18mm lug width.
