I love everything about this watch. I must be an old fart because I wouldn't market it as a "dive" watch without a timing bezel, no matter how water resistant it is. But I guess, "to dive watch specs" might be too complicated for the public. Whatever. Love that dial.

As a long time diver, it takes a lot of imagination and the stretching of that imagination beyond all limits to refer to this a dive watch! It has none of the attributes except for water resistance. As some field watches are beginning to appear with this type of wr, I think it's probably better to call it a field watch, but then it's only a field watch if it has lume on the hands as it needs it when you're out camping in the wilds at night. You don't mention if it's lumed or not, or maybe I missed it. If not, that's a final nail in the coffin of any suggestion of it being a dive watch. Having said that, it's a real beauty. I would label it as a very good looking dress watch to bring to a house party, and if you get tipsy and accidentally fall into the swimming pool, the watch will be fine .😉

I stopped diving in 2015 after 46 years. At the end my last dive computer could tell me how much air I had left, my depth and dive profile, what my no stop time was and if I was ascending too fast. It also had a fairly accurate compass built in. All this for, if memory serves me correctly, about £350. Why would you wear a watch like the Nomos instead?

Totally agree jenni . I think Nomos are such an important company in the watch industry with their very defined design and excellent craftsmanship . I own the Tangente ahoi 40 mm and it’s a such a well crafted piece but I find it hard to love . The fact that it’s all dial and the way the lugs jut out makes it look huge and quite cumbersome on the wrist . The lugs are part of of the DNA but feel they could perhaps look at curving them a little , feel this would project a more refined look .

The lume on the dial isn't great, but for the use alluded to in the upload the hands more than compensate. 200m WR, looks great on a Jubilee bracelet and / or a canvas strap.

Dive watches today are a plus. No worries about getting exposed to water at indicated depth. You're never going to get there. Divers Pro/sport today use dive computers. You'll see dive watches on snorkelers. This watch is the exact example of what we should be seeing in sport recreation watches. I love my divers and wouldn't give them up. When I snorkel I have one watch for doing it. The only way it's ever going to 660ft. Is the guys who just wacked me on the boat didn't take the watch before they tossed me overboard. Beautiful watch.

Another refreshing video by Jenni Elle. The Nomos Club Neomatik, regardless of it's 200 WR, is without doubt more of a dress watch than a dive watch; no rotating timing bezel, a fully polished case, a fabric strap. On every other front however it is tastefully well designed, but as you said, lacks a proper power reserve movement. Two things could have been mentioned, lume & approx. list price.

First Time I have to strongly disagree with you. I’m a professional explorer, and I can tell you this watch is everything but a dive watch. It’s a dressy watch with 200m of WR that’s it. First of all the most obvious feature missing here the bezel. But even more important : the fully polish case. This must be a real nightmare taking this watch outside, especially under direct sunlight. If you go even only swimming with that watch you’ll be blind at the first glance. Keep up the good work anyway, amazing content every time.

I started diving in 1969 and retired from diving in 2015. I never met anyone who used a dive watch. No one I knew could afford one in the early days when most of our kit was home made and later on dive computers were the fairly cheap and reliable way of assessing dive times. I own an Omega planet ocean and would never think of going diving wearing it. Even with the extension fully open I would have struggled to wear it over a bulky dry suit.

I recently catched a Nomos Ahoi Neomatik, in its limited Bucherer blue colour on the Nomos website shop and am over the moon with it :-). The dial is not as dark as the usual Nomos blue, and most important (to my eyes, everyone his/her own tastes here), has silver hands and greyish numbers, that I find much more accorded to the case and colour scheme, in comparison to the guilt the blue Nomos one has. This is the first quite pricey watch I buy, and I went for Nomos because of their amazing inhouse calibre 3001 and their achievement with their Swing System. I found it important to support that level of innovation and craft. As you said, unpretending dive watch, but capable nevertheless, and a refreshing twist on Bauhaus too :-). I concour with you about the Nylon Nomos strap, which is beautifully made I think. All the best Jenni, keep up and running, you are great at this :-)
