The world of horology is vast, with timepieces ranging from the seemingly simple to the intricately elaborate. Among these fierce watch companies, NOMOS Glashütte delivers another beautiful, intricate timepiece — Autobahn Neomatik 41 Date. Let’s take a closer look at this wonderful watch.
Design
At first glance, the Autobahn Neomatik 41 strikes as a minimalistic timepiece, but with a clearer lens we can see a striking flurry of detail. It’s certainly not dull. It comes in three variations: sports grey, midnight blue, and white. The Autobahn captivates with its exuding classic charm. However, a closer look reveals the dashing curves of its dial, reminiscent of the open roads and the spirit of adventure. The elongated date window, spanning three days, adds a touch of modernity reminiscent of three road lanes. But what truly sets it apart is the ring of superluminova that follows the hour typography, glowing in the dark and ensuring that time is always visible, no matter the hour, day or night.
Housed in a stainless steel, bipartite case with a domed sapphire crystal glass back, this watch is a marvel of craftsmanship. The domed sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective coating ensures clarity under all lighting conditions and toughness. With a lug-to-lug of 49.6mm, the piece stays prominent on the wrist. Water-resistant up to 10 atm, it doesn’t just sit pretty on the wrist but stays durable for casual swimming after a long day’s work.
