NOMOS Glashütte Ludwig Neomatik 41 "Roman" Date

Advent, Christmas, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day: Toward the end of the year, dates become particularly significant. When it comes to wristwatches, it’s the time to pay more attention to the design and appearance of the date function. Moreover: Just in time to begin the new year, NOMOS has a watch that features a date in Roman numerals.

The harmoniously rounded stainless steel case on the remborne leather strap sits softly on the wrist. The sapphire crystal has an anti-reflective coating on the inside. The silver-plated dial, fine typography and the steel-blued hands accentuate this all-around stylish model. The Roman numerals used for the date display, celebrating the technical capabilities of a patented date ring. And, of course, the pleasure of something very special. 

Glashütte, 2022/23 Holiday Season. Now with a date in Roman numerals: Ludwig neomatik 41 date is the latest model presented by the Glashütte workshop shortly before the new year. With about half a turn of the crown for each day, the date can be set forward to New Year’s Day in a flash, if you so desire. Or even backwards, to yesterday.

A classic appearance, an automatic movement, Roman numerals on its dial and date: This new addition to the Ludwig series is something unique in the watchmaking world. It is an automatic watch powered by the NOMOS caliber DUW 6101—with an in-house escapement, known as the NOMOS swing system, to ensure exceptional accuracy.

The special thing about date displays from NOMOS Glashütte is the clever design, which has made entirely new date appearances possible. Not only as a three-day window (Autobahn) or a display, which even has room for the Roman XXVIII (Ludwig), but also as a date ring, which is only available from NOMOS Glashütte (Tangente Update, Metro Update).

NOMOS date solutions turn the wearer into a watch connoisseur; they allude to the watchmaking expertise behind the dial. Thanks to the patented mechanism, a NOMOS watch remains elegantly flat despite being automatic, and even with a date display. Moreover, the typography of the date, which is individually tailored to each NOMOS model, ensures that the watch always has a harmonious appearance–whether it's the first of the month (a narrow 1) or the (wider) 31. This is exceptional, even in the world of fine watchmaking.

In all NOMOS calibers, the date ring is placed around the movement. In neomatik date, this caliber is particularly large. The first neomatik caliber with a date mechanism, it remains wonderfully slender. The date display can be made even clearer, and is particularly legible.

So classic, it’s avant-garde again: Ludwig neomatik 41 date, a stunningly elegant innovative automatic watch.

Outstanding materials

Designed in Berlin, elaborately produced, and polished by hand, the NOMOS winged clasp exudes elegance through its beautiful minimalism.

Exclusively for the watches of our neomatik series: our remborde strap, crafted from Horween Genuine Shell Cordovan. This leather is thick, smooth, and robust—which makes these NOMOS straps particularly long-lasting.
