Metro is the NOMOS success story of recent months: No other watch has won so many awards in such a short space of time, nor sold out so quickly. With this version—a touch larger and more masculine in a 38-millimeter diameter, and featuring a ruthenium-plated dial—NOMOS Glashütte is fulfilling the wishes of many customers for more Metro. As in its sister model, an in-house caliber equipped with the NOMOS swing system is also at work in this Metro, although it does not feature a power reserve indicator. This gives the watch an even more pared down appearance.

A new in-house caliber with swing: DUW 4101 is ticking in Metro 38 Datum and Metro 38 Datum urban black. Characterized by the blued balance spring, this movement is also equipped with the NOMOS swing system—the in-house escapement with which NOMOS Glashütte was able to break the Swatch Group’s monopoly in the industry last year. 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.
