NOMOS Glashütte Tetra gold 27vsVario 1918 Medic Brass

Owners widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Tetra gold 27 for its elegant, thin, and versatile square-cased design, comfortable wearability due to its light weight and lack of sharp corners, and attractive dial with blued hands. Some owners note the subdial is not recessed as found on other models, and one reviewer dislikes the minute markers in the dial corners. The buckle is described as generic and the suede strap gets dirty easily. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Tetra gold 27 highly for its value and elegant, comfortable design.

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.
