The Nomos Ludwig Neomatik 39 Ref. 250.S2 is a limited-edition timepiece of just 250 pieces, created in support of Doctors Without Borders.
A Timepiece of Tradition and Solidarity
The Nomos Ludwig Neomatik 39 Ref. 250.S2 is a rare creation that seamlessly blends horological mastery with humanitarian purpose. Designed in partnership with Ärzte ohne Grenzen (Doctors Without Borders), this limited-edition timepiece reflects NOMOS Glashütte’s dedication to precision, design, and compassion. Limited to just 250 pieces worldwide, it stands as both a collector’s treasure and a meaningful contribution to global humanitarian aid.
Design that Symbolizes Hope and Humanity
For the first time in the charitable Ludwig series, this edition features the symbolic red twelve (XII) in Roman numerals—a design choice that goes beyond aesthetics. It represents urgency, courage, and compassion, resonating deeply with the mission of Doctors Without Borders. True to Ludwig’s classical character, the red XII sits harmoniously within the refined Bauhaus-inspired dial, creating a perfect balance of tradition and purpose.
Bauhaus Heritage with Refined Detailing
Encased in polished stainless steel, the 38.5 mm case with a slim 7.0 mm profile captures understated sophistication and comfort. The enamel-white dial displays elegant Roman numerals, a small seconds subdial, and the inscription “Ärzte ohne Grenzen” at six o’clock—a constant reminder of the cause it supports. Slender black oxidized hands enhance readability while preserving the minimalist Bauhaus aesthetic.
The Ludwig is paired with a handcrafted Horween Genuine Shell Cordovan strap in black, featuring a refined remborde edge finish. This edition is fitted with a stainless steel deployant clasp, offering both elegance and secure comfort—a perfect complement to the watch’s understated luxury.
Precision Engineered with the DUW 3001 Caliber
At its heart beats the in-house NOMOS DUW 3001 calibre—an ultra-thin automatic movement measuring only 3.2 mm in height. Equipped with the NOMOS swing system, it delivers exceptional accuracy and a 43-hour power reserve. Visible through the sapphire crystal exhibition caseback, the movement reveals Glashütte’s traditional finishing touches—rhodium plating, perlage, and blued screws—along with the engraving “Sondermodell Ludwig für Ärzte ohne Grenzen 1/250.”
Water-resistant to 5 ATM and measuring 48.5 mm lug-to-lug, the Ludwig Neomatik 39 offers refined proportions for both formal and daily wear. The anti-reflective sapphire crystal ensures crisp legibility from every angle.
A Collector’s Piece with Purpose
More than a timepiece, the Nomos Ludwig Neomatik 39 Ref. 250.S2 is a symbol of solidarity and timeless craftsmanship. Every purchase supports the life-saving missions of Doctors Without Borders, making this limited edition a profound statement of both style and compassion.
