Nomos Glashütte Metro 38 Date Stem Winding – 1102

The NOMOS Glashütte Metro 38 Date is a refined expression of modern design and traditional craftsmanship. Designed by Mark Braun, this urban classic stands out with its clean, avant-garde aesthetic and dynamic dot indexes, making it instantly recognizable as a NOMOS creation. The stainless steel case, fine lugs, and domed sapphire crystal on both sides give the Metro a sleek, contemporary silhouette that feels at home in any setting. At its heart beats the hand-wound DUW 4601 caliber, crafted in Glashütte by NOMOS, featuring a quick-set date mechanism and an impressive 52-hour power reserve.

The white silver-plated dial is meticulously detailed, featuring black indexes with subtle blue-gray accents at 3, 9, and 12 o’clock. A striking red seconds hand and matching red dot at 30 minutes add a playful touch to the Metro’s minimalist design. The signature large date window, positioned at 6 o’clock, showcases NOMOS ingenuity—made possible by the date ring encircling the in-house movement.

Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, the Metro’s crown is adorned with a distinctive beaded pattern, both elegant and functional. Measuring just 7.8 mm in height, the case maintains a slim and refined profile, water-resistant to 5 meters. The black Horween Genuine Shell Cordovan strap, produced in Chicago, is smooth, durable, and fitted with convenient quick-release spring bars for easy versatility.

Through the sapphire crystal caseback, the DUW 4601 movement reveals its intricate decorations and sunburst finish radiating from the NOMOS swing system—a hallmark of precision and beauty. Made in Glashütte, Germany, the Metro 38 Date perfectly embodies award-winning design, masterful engineering, and timeless sophistication.
