May I introduce you to this FANTASTIC Nomos?

[@lawrencelibby3607]

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.

[@H0kram]

It must be german humor about desk divers, because this has nothing to do with a dive watch indeed.

[@theannouncer5538]

@@H0kram German humor is no laughing matter

[@vornamenachname594]

they don't market it as such at all. It's just a sports watch to them.

[@vincentchampion8986]

I absolutely adore Nomos and have the club sport. The only places I could really see it improved would be in power reserve and antimagnetic properties.

[@brianmsahin]

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 .😉

[@MoritzLox]

The hands and hour markers are luminous

[@brianmsahin]

@@MoritzLox Thanks for that. So, it would be ok as field watch!!👍👍

[@billkipper3264]

@@MPD90 They may sell it as a dive watch but it is in no way shape or form a dive watch. I wholeheartedly agree with Brian M. It is better suited as a field watch. However, not one I would wear in the field. It is beautiful though.

[@Gorf_Denroh]

@@MPD90 Let someone die on a dive because they ran out of air, while wearing this watch. NOMOS gets sued, because they advertise it as a dive watch, but it doesn't even have a rotating bezel, let alone a one-directional rotating bezel. Calling this a dive watch is borderline negligent, and Jenni should know better.

[@leesimpson1677]

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?

[@m.e.p.r]

Great watch. Not a dive watch. It's just a good everyday watch

[@dcpayne5264]

I have the Ahoi Neomatik and adore it. I really like the fabric strap and the fact that a Bauhaus dive watch exists is awesome!

[@HRM.H]

Just picked up my club neomatik last week ! Was near glashutte for a business trip so i HAD to stop by the factory and shop.

[@tancredidesimone7301]

I was not a fan of the club family, but after I've seen this model...well, now I must have it

[@Tonysoprano497]

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 .

[@joshuachua6802]

I own the club 39 neomatik and absolutely love it. The california dial and the playfulness of it always make me choose it over my other pieces in the collection.

[@MamaLifeBre]

[@kevnotrite]

The dial is beautiful in its simplicity which harkens back to the pocket watches of a bygone era with a distinctive modern take. Calling it a dive watch with a railroad dial is so uncivilized, but refreshing as it strikes up the conversation which all great watches do.

[@MrGrentch]

I know you're getting some static for the diving watch description, then again most men and women who wear actual dive watches never go further than a swimming pool, or the bar close to it. :) I'd call it a Swimmer's watch. Not unlike what the original Omega Seamasters were.

[@mugofglop]

I finally received this watch last month after your video gave me Nomos brain worms when I was first starting out trying to find a "fancy" watch that I liked. I'm lucky I gave in and decided to order it when I did because they took it out of the catalog a couple months after I placed the order to make room for the new Club Sport line. It's so good! I haven't been able to take it off basically since I got it. Thank you for making this very nice review of it!

[@SnowMacBook]

I own the Siren White edition of this Nomos. It is my daily watch and I love it! Great to see you doing this review. The watch watch is kinda under the radar but clearly deserves to be in the spotlights.

[@christopherliang6879]

The Nomos Club line is great. It also is priced competitively within Nomos lines compared to the Ahoi line.

[@pacopwns74]

I can agree with you that the most important thing when looking at a diver nowadays isn't the depth of its water resistance however I can't consider any watch a "diver" without it having a uni-directional rotating bezel.

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

Great quick review! I love the Nomos club datum in the 38.5 mm size with the hand wind movement and display back. Such a clean purist design that will never go out of style.

[@Taylor-vz7vn]

Wow! What a beautiful watch! I purchased this watch right after watching this video. It reminds me of a Gulf Porsche in which I adore so much. This is my first expensive timepiece that I am excited to wear and to begin my collection with. Thanks!

[@walkerb1734]

Totally agree with your thoughts on the freakishly long lugs. Makes the watch a ‘no go’ for me. Otherwise, I do like the fun look of the watch.

[@theannouncer5538]

The little whale next to the water resistance makes me smile😂

[@PersonaN007Grata]

I’ve become a recent fan of Nomos. Bought a Club Onyx. I first thought that the sports bracelet was going to be weird but I love it. Great option for those that don’t like fabric straps. Really high quality and well engineered bracelet. And I even love the pronounced lug look on the wrist lol.

[@julianmorse541]

It's nice to see you review a good quality German watch which is in reach for us regular folks who can't fork out for Rolexes, thanks Jenni! Nomos are great. More of these types of reviews please!

[@Daddyiscool450]

[@philspencelayh5464]

It looks fabulous apart from those lugs which I hadn't noticed until you pointed them out, then could'nt take my eyes off. One of the very few watches which would be spoiled by a date window.

[@anthonysmith2982]

Re. the Lugs: I welcome a smaller diameter & the wrist presence afforded by long lugs. I'm a big guy with large wrists. It's refreshing to be able to wear a > 38mm watch. Re. another diver that's not "Diver"? - The Champagne Alpinist. Great legibility from the Gold toned cathedral hands & arabics/indicies. 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. It's a great all rounder. Tudor Ranger is worth a mention too... Great upload, very interesting take on a very interesting watch.

[@rayyesrajy]

I have a Club neomatik and it is one of my favorites. It's clean, comfortable and Does not ask for attention.

[@stephens2r338]

Could someone please explain why she keeps calling it a dive watch. A dive watch has to be able to track the time you are under the water. It's a high quality, simple and clean, slightly sporty dress watch that's water resistant to 200m.

[@alexito9213]

Sure - look at all the comments. Calling this a Diver gives so much more attention. She would have never achieved this by pointing out the 200m water resistance as a cool feature

[@tuzu1758]

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. Thank you Jenni.

[@ZaDude1970]

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.

[@Nomosglashuette_official]

Thanks for this video! ❤

[@DylanTrekking]

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.

[@Ariocarpus2000]

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 :-)

@@triniboy05 I know about Panerai history, so my statement goes further. I dive, never seen any diver wearing a Panerai in five continents. Lots of Citizen, Seiko, even Rolex or Omega. But the thing is that Panerai, until the 70s, was a watch company only for the Italian Naval force, and they were mainly made by Rolex! Only in the 90s they used the brand with commercial purposes, and for the upgrade market. They are decorative items, luxury items, nice and all that dandy, but not reallly contemporary dive watches. Not many into that category. Cheers and enjoy (watches and life).

A very good looking watch. With the WR, great as an all rounder I think. One that is good for the beach, pool or lake, casual, going out, even a bit more dressed up. I would still be cautious of taking such an expensive watch into the water though! Wouldn't want it to get scratched up. I'm sure you can take it on a dive (using a dive computer), but probably not really a dive watch. But here's me with a Citizen Aqualand Promaster Dive watch which I use for the exact situation you describe: tough watch for holidays, weekend knock around, jumping into water and pools...and it doesn't even care. Apparently real divers like them as well lol
