Nomos Ludwig 38.0 mm Manual Silver Dial

A classic favorite among the Nomos line, and a personal favorite because of the handsome Roman numeral dial.

The Nomos Ludwig features an in-house movement with sapphire crystal back. During our visit to the Nomos workshops, we saw first hand the production of these movements, including all of the intricate operations necessary to cut and clean the metal using two separate locations in the very small village of Glashutte, Germany.

The movement begins with a traditional Glashutte 3/4 plate which is rhodium plated and decorated with Glashutte ribbing and Langeleist perlage.

This watch is extremely comfortable to wear thanks to its uniquely designed lugs.

Beautiful silver plated dial with Roman numerals. The dial contains an off-center subsidiary seconds dial. The dial is first sand blasted, then bathed in silver to provide the unique Nomos coloring. The baton hands are made of polished steel and then flame blued.

The case is made in a special steel alloy which is nickel-free.  Sapphire crystal on front and back.

And last but not least - the strap. Nomos watches use hand stitched straps made from Shell Cordovan. The leather is very smooth, durable, water-repellent and extremely long-lived.
