With the Lambda 175 Years Watchmaking Glashütte Nomos Glashütte continues the celebration of 175 years of watchmaking history. Price and specs
Nomos Glashütte continues the celebration of 175 years of watchmaking history in the Saxon town of Glashütte with the release of three precious limited editions of the Lambda model with enamel dials in white, black and blue and a beautifully refined hand-wound movement adjusted according to chronometer standards.
Limited to 175 pieces for each colour variation, this new Lambda edition comes in a 40.5 mm diameter that is new for this model. The slim round case in polished stainless steel is just 8.9 mm high and features a slender bezel that leaves space to a glossy enamel dial.
The curvature of both the dial and the sapphire crystal glass emphasises the optical depth effect. The Lambda features a complication: the power reserve indicator. It sweeps an arc across the dial and tracks 84 hours, or three-and-a-half days, accurate to the hour. The four needle-thin hands enhance the elegance of the watch.
Visible through a sapphire crystal case back, the hand-wound DUW 1001 Calibre is the first caliber to bear the title “Deutsche Uhrenwerke NOMOS Glashütte.” A large, slender caliber with twin mainspring barrels, 29 jewels within ensure flawless functioning - with six of them in hand-polished screwed chatons. All edges are also polished by hand, with black polishing on individual steel parts.
The fine sunburst polishing on the three-quarter plate is typical of Nomos timepieces. By contrast, the regulatory system of screw balance and swan neck fine adjustment in this model has its roots in history. The spring of the swan neck fine adjustment is positioned on top of the balance cock. Hand-engraved by a watchmaker, a message reads “Lovingly produced in Glashütte” in German.
Water resistant up to 3 ATM (splash-proof) and matched to a Horween Genuine Shell Cordovan black strap, the new Nomos Glashütte Lambda 175 Years Watchmaking Glashütte has a price of Euro 5,800 / US$ 7,500. Soon our hands-on review. nomos-glashuette.com
