Nomos Glashütte Ludwig Gold Ref. 211.GOB

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.
