Generously proportioned, sophisticated, wonderfully beautiful—and a little larger than the multiple prize-winning original model: That is Metro 38 Datum. Without a power reserve indicator, this watch is even clearer, more paired down and, thanks to a growth spurt, a little more masculine too. This timepiece may be utterly cosmopolitan, but it also presents Glashütte watchmaking craft at its finest. A glance through the sapphire crystal glass back reveals the movement DUW 4101 with the NOMOS swing system—the in-house escapement which helped the model Metro win appreciation and fan letters from around the world.
The ref. 1102 has a case measuring 38.5 mm. It is powered by the caliber DUW 4101 hand-wound movement.

Further features include manual winding, a date function, fine adjustment in six positions, a Glashütte three-quarter plate, and Glashütte stopwork.
With the introduction of DUW 4101, NOMOS Glashütte will started equipping all hand-wound movements with a date function with the NOMOS swing system as well.
