Features
The perfect combination of a modern classic, the Nomos Glashutte Tangente is more or less like that BMW R18 gurgling through the roads of Berlin. With a confident silhouette and clean aesthetics, the Tangente collection defines the Nomos DNA at its pinnacle The classic Tangente is reminiscent of the first Tangente launched with small seconds at 6 o’clock and slender tempered blue hands. On the contrary, the Tangente Sport neomatik 42 Date is equipped with a protected crown and offers 1000ft of water resistance. Whereas, the Nomos Tangente neomatik 41 Update series is equipped with a date ring on the outer dial. Also, the Tangente collection offers timepieces for smaller wrists with a case size of 32.8mm.
Movement
Talking about the mechanical dexterity of the brand, the Nomos Glashutte Tangente collection is equipped with precise movements like the DUW 3001. The mainstay of this collection is the DUW 6101. The DUW 6101 is the first neomatik calibre with a date function. Whereas, the DUW 4401 was the first calibre to feature Nomos’s signature escapement, the Swing System. The Tangente collection is also equipped with manually winded movements, the Alpha, the DUW 4301 and the Alpha.2.
