The no-date variant of the NH35 platform, eliminating the date complication entirely for clean dial designs without a date window. Identical in every other specification to the NH35 and NH36 siblings. Popular with modders and microbrands building minimalist or pilot-style watches where a dateless dial is preferred. The absence of the date mechanism simplifies the movement slightly but does not affect height.

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.
