The NOMOS Tangente 2date Ref. 136 is an exquisite blend of refined aesthetics and engineering precision, embodying the very spirit of modern watchmaking with a timeless allure. With a compact yet striking presence, this model introduces a unique interplay of two date displays on a deep blue dial with a sunburst finish that radiates sophistication and elegance.
At the heart of this timepiece is a galvanized blue dial with a sunburst finish, which shimmers under the light and complements the silver-colored numerals and indexes. This classic yet contemporary design is further elevated by rhodium-plated hands, adding an element of understated luxury. The hallmark of this watch lies in its innovative date complication: the NOMOS ring date and the additional date window at 6 o’clock. This dual display approach offers the big picture while focusing on the finer details, making it both practical and visually pleasing. The ring date markers, displayed in white on the blue dial, elegantly frame the current day, while the large date window ensures easy readability at a glance.
The Tangente 2date Ref. 136 is the first hand-wound model to feature the exclusive NOMOS ring date. It stands out with its slightly more compact build, featuring a case diameter of 37.5 mm, which makes it versatile and comfortable for a wide range of wrist sizes. This combination of innovative features and classic proportions makes the Tangente 2date a standout piece within the NOMOS collection.
The stainless steel, bipartite case of the Tangente 2date is meticulously crafted to provide a perfect balance between durability and elegance. The sapphire crystal glass back offers an unobstructed view of the beautifully decorated movement inside, inviting the wearer to appreciate the meticulous craftsmanship at work. Additionally, both the front and back are covered with sapphire crystal glass treated with an anti-reflective coating, ensuring optimal visibility under different lighting conditions.
The overall dimensions of the case, including a height of only 6.8 mm and a lug-to-lug span of 47.7 mm, ensure that the watch sits comfortably on the wrist without feeling bulky. The water resistance of 5 ATM makes it suitable for daily activities, offering peace of mind for everyday wear.
Complementing the refined aesthetic of the dial and case is the high-quality Horween Genuine Shell Cordovan black strap. Known for its strength and smooth finish, this premium leather strap offers both comfort and durability. The 19 mm lug width provides a well-proportioned connection between the case and strap, enhancing the overall elegance of the watch.
At the heart of the NOMOS Tangente 2date Ref. 136 beats the DUW 4601 manual-winding caliber—a marvel of horological engineering that combines precision, reliability, and aesthetic beauty. The DUW 4601 has a movement height of only 2.8 mm, making it impressively thin, yet it remains packed with features. With 23 jewels, the movement is finely crafted to ensure minimal friction and accurate timekeeping. The power reserve of 52 hours allows the wearer to enjoy extended intervals between winding, ensuring reliable performance.
A standout feature of this movement is the NOMOS swing system, an in-house proprietary escapement that is a testament to the brand's commitment to innovation. This feature is distinguished by a blue balance spring, which is set against the backdrop of sunbeam ribbing, adding visual depth to the movement. The three-quarter plate, a nod to the traditional watchmaking techniques of Glashütte, further enhances the stability and precision of the mechanism. The balance cock has been elegantly skeletonized, allowing a clear view into the movement’s intricate workings, showcasing the technical expertise and artistry that goes into each timepiece.
The quick-set date mechanism is designed with convenience in mind. By simply pulling the crown into the second position and giving it a few turns, the date can be adjusted effortlessly. This feature makes the watch highly practical for daily wear, ensuring that the date can always be set accurately and easily.
The NOMOS Tangente 2date Ref. 136 is an embodiment of NOMOS Glashütte's ethos—merging clean, minimalist design with advanced watchmaking technology. It presents a sophisticated, well-balanced aesthetic that is sure to appeal to aficionados of understated luxury. The interplay between the deep blue dial, the unique date display, and the classic Tangente design makes this model an absolute delight for those who appreciate the art of horology. The slim profile, coupled with a robust manual-wind movement, ensures that this watch is not only visually striking but also incredibly comfortable and reliable.
