NOMOS Glashütte Metro 38

Ref. 1108
Dress

Owners and reviewers widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Metro 38 Datum for its high-quality polished stainless steel case, flawless matte/metallic silver-plated dial with a sloping design, and Bauhaus-inspired minimalist aesthetic. The in-house DUW 4101 movement with the Swing-System escapement is also a highlight. Legibility is a point of mixed opinion, with some finding the thin silver hands on the grey dial difficult to read in certain light, while others report no issues. Some owners note a slight convexity on the front window's edge, and a few find the hand length and dial's shininess distracting. Accuracy is reported as +2 sec/day by one owner. The $3.5k price point is seen by some as a turn-off, while others consider it reflective of the watch's value and craftsmanship. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Metro 38 Datum highly for its distinctive design and in-house finishing at its price point.
