Nomos Glashütte Metro Neomatik 39 Rose Gold Ref. 1180

The NOMOS Metro Rose Gold Neomatik 39 1180 debuted in 2017 as a larger automatic rose gold version of the Metro. The watch has a polished 18k rose gold case and follows Mark Braun’s original Metro design, with a narrow bezel, wire-style lugs, a domed sapphire crystal, and a compact crown. Unlike the 33mm hand-wound rose gold version, this reference is powered by the automatic DUW 3001 calibre. The 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 a water resistance rating of 3 atm. The proportions place this version among the larger Metro models, while the slim automatic movement keeps the overall case height low for an automatic watch in precious metal. The galvanized white silver-plated dial uses the restrained Metro layout, with grey indexes at 3, 9, and 12 o’clock. The rose gold hands match the case material, and the display is limited to central hours and minutes, without a seconds hand or date indication. Compared with some other Metro references, this version keeps the dial especially reduced, with no coloured minute markers listed in the supplied specifications. Inside is the NOMOS DUW 3001, an automatic in-house calibre measuring 12 ¾ lignes in diameter and 3.2mm in height. It has 37 jewels and a power reserve of up to 43 hours. The movement is visible through the sapphire crystal case back and includes the NOMOS swing system. The Metro Rose Gold Neomatik 39 1180 is defined by its 38.5mm 18k rose gold case, slim automatic construction, white silver-plated dial, and DUW 3001 calibre.
