NOMOS Glashütte Club Campus 38 blue purple is widely praised for its excellent value and build quality, with its versatile blue-purple dial noted as unisex and suitable for everyday wear, even with a suit. Owners report timekeeping around +2 to -6 seconds per day. Some find the polished case prone to scratches and the dial's empty 6 o'clock position unbalanced, while others note the watch wears larger than its 38.5mm size due to long lugs and a narrow bezel. One owner dislikes the dial's combination of Arabic and Roman numerals. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Club Campus 38 blue purple highly for its value and versatile, interesting dial.
The NOMOS Glashütte Lambda 39 is celebrated for its spare clarity, minimalist purity, and Bauhaus dial design with excellent legibility. Owners and reviewers praise its well-integrated power reserve complication, which boasts 84 hours of power reserve, and the gorgeous, in-house hand-wound caliber DUW 1001 featuring Glashütte finishing like a three-quarter plate, hand beveling, and an engraved balance cock. Some find the full gold case and giant power reserve display well worth its price for the fine horology and minimalist elegance, though others note a clash between the oversized power reserve display and dial design, and dislike the lettering on the indicator. The high price point for gold models, $18,000-$20,000, is considered steep by some, representing a significant departure from NOMOS's typical offerings.
