Metro Neomatik 39 Midnight Blue

The NOMOS Metro Neomatik 39 Midnight Blue 1115 debuted in 2017 as a larger automatic Metro with a midnight blue dial. Designed by Mark Braun, it uses the collection’s narrow bezel, wire-style lugs, domed sapphire crystal, and diamond-knurled crown in the 38.5mm Metro case format. The stainless steel case measures 38.5mm in diameter, 8.4mm in height, and 45.5mm from lug to lug. It has a sapphire crystal case back and is rated to 5 atm. The relatively low case height is supported by the DUW 3001, NOMOS’ thin automatic in-house calibre. The dial is listed by NOMOS as midnight blue. Across production, the shade appears to have shifted slightly darker, while the basic dial layout remained the same. It has silver indexes at 3, 9, and 12 o’clock, rhodium-plated hands, and a neon orange central seconds hand. The display consists of central hours, minutes, and seconds. The DUW 3001 is an automatic in-house calibre measuring 12 ¾ lignes in diameter and 3.2mm in height. It has a power reserve of up to 43 hours and uses the NOMOS swing system. In the supplied specifications for this reference, the movement is listed with 27 jewels. The watch is supplied on a black Horween Genuine Shell Cordovan remborde strap with quick-change spring bars and a 19mm lug width.
