Nomos Glashütte Tangente 33 Karat Ref. 126

The NOMOS Tangente 33 karat 126 is a smaller hand-wound Tangente distinguished by a gold-plated brushed dial and gold hands, translating the model’s familiar design to a 32.8mm case with a warmer color palette. Its stainless steel case measures 32.8mm in diameter, 6.5mm in height, and 42.2mm lug to lug. It is fitted with sapphire crystal front and back and is water-resistant to 5 atm; earlier versions were rated to 3 atm. The dial is galvanized, gold-plated, and finished with brushing. Arabic numerals, minute markers, and a recessed small-seconds register retain the familiar Tangente layout, while the hands are executed in gold. This reference is fitted on a brown velour leather strap with a 17mm lug width. 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.
