Nomos Glashütte Ludwig Gold Enamel White Doré Ref. 216

The NOMOS Ludwig Gold Enamel White Doré 216 combines the 35mm Ludwig Gold case with NOMOS’ enamel white dial execution, gold hands, and the hand-wound DUW 4001 calibre. Here, enamel white refers to a glossy white dial finish rather than fired enamel, while Doré identifies the gold-handed version of this reference. The case measures 35mm in diameter, 6.7mm in height, and 45mm from lug to lug. It is made from 18k yellow gold and fitted with a sapphire crystal front and sapphire crystal case back. The case has a slender bezel, a rounded profile, and slightly curved lugs, with a gold crown matching the case material. Water resistance is rated to 3 atm. The glossy white dial uses the Ludwig’s traditional layout of Roman numerals, baton hour markers, a fine railroad minute track, and a small seconds display at 6 o’clock. The gold hands correspond with the case material and give this version a warmer dial-side appearance than the tempered blue-hand version. The display consists of central hours and minutes with subsidiary seconds. Power comes from the NOMOS DUW 4001, a manually wound in-house calibre measuring 10 ½ lignes in diameter and 2.6mm in height. It has 17 jewels, a power reserve of up to 53 hours, and uses the NOMOS swing system. The movement is visible through the sapphire crystal case back. The watch is supplied on a brown Horween Genuine Shell Cordovan remborde strap with an 18mm lug width.
