I hope its based off of the new 41mm Club...from what I've seen and read it has shorter lugs (read: normal)

It’ll probably look great, but the dinky folks like small watches.

I predict they use the smaller club, likely hand wound (thus thinner) with some kind of vintage lume.

Boom. I think you nailed it. All their LEs have the same script. I happen to be one of those that like their issues. Let’s see what they come up with. A California dial would be nice.

Yep another unisex watch I’m sure.
I’m surprised they haven’t done a medium size seamaster yet

Oh cool, we are only one day away from the unveiling ! :o

Going to be fun seeing how it turned out, and how it separates itself
from other recent Nomos. Thanks a lot for the news, and heads up
about this. Hadn't know about it. :thumbsup:

Hard pass.


Edit: I supposed it seems fitting that all their special editions are small, considering all the pajama boy types out there.

Nice Paul ! :) Liking the sportiness with the blue, and gray. But then how
that gray dial almost looks bead blasted, or textured. Then it all looks extra
cool with that steel bracelet they have it on. 8-) Very nice ! ..THX once again
for the heads up guys !

The 38mm case is already perfect. Not interested at all. Not sold out yet, unsurprisingly.

Where’s the men’s version?
I also don’t like those lugs. Looks horrible on the wrist and so much gap

I'll push back against the case size criticism. It's 36.5mm, but all dial and with long lugs and a large crown (like a lot of Nomos), so I imagine it will wear fine on any wrist 7" and under. The bigger issue to me is whether you're down with the Nomos aesthetic. I think it's cool that they're an independent making their own movements and selling at a comparatively reasonable price, but their designs have never really been my thing. And I don't dig the bracelet.
