NOMOS Glashütte Tangente date power reservevsVario 1918 Medic Brass

Owners praise the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente date power reserve's classic 37.5mm sizing, white dial, blued hands, and red power reserve indicator. Reviewers highlight the thin, well-proportioned case and the admirable, thin DUW 4601 hand-wound movement with a 52-hour power reserve. Some find the dual date display unnecessary, and the blue dial's ring date can be difficult to read. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente date power reserve for its elegant design and well-executed movement.

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Medic Brass for its crisp enamel dial, easy-to-read numerals, and cathedral hands, noting the brass case develops an attractive patina over time. However, the soft brass scratches easily, and one owner found the lume to be poor. Accuracy varies, with one example running slow by about 10 seconds per day and another owner deeming the Miyota 82s5 movement just okay. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Medic Brass highly for its unique dial and the evolving character of its brass case.
