Nomos Glashütte Metro 33 All Silver Ref. 1122

The NOMOS Metro 33 all silver 1122 is the sapphire-back version of the smaller hand-wound Metro with a monochrome silver dial treatment, part of a trio of colorways described through a New York City lens. In this version, the visual emphasis is on layered shades of silver and gray, linked to the facades of modern city architecture. Its stainless steel case measures 33.0mm in diameter, 7.5mm in height, and 40.0mm lug to lug. It is fitted with domed sapphire crystal front and back and is water-resistant to 5 atm. The dial is galvanized and silver-plated with a sunburst finish, with light gray hour markers at 3, 9, and 12 o’clock and gray minute markers. A recessed small-seconds register adds depth, while the rhodium-plated hands maintain the watch’s tonal, near-monochrome appearance. Inside is the NOMOS Alpha, a hand-wound movement measuring 23.3mm in diameter and 2.6mm in height, with 17 jewels and a power reserve of up to 43 hours. This reference is fitted on a velvet gray vegan velour remborde strap with quick-change spring bars and a 16mm lug width.
