Nomos Club Campus - Four colors, two sizes

A look at four Club Campus watches from German watchmaker Nomos. Two sizes: 38mm and 36mm. Four colors: Future orange, electric green, deep pink, and cream coral.

[@LRSTGS]

Quickly becoming my favourite watch content. Really refreshing attitude and makes me chuckle.

[@Cribbage_with_J]

A channel that doesn't take itself too seriously, and in fact, openly acknowledges the absurdity of the hobby and its fans. I appreciate that

[@timetowatch_francois]

I second that motion 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@ronnienes]

Fun fact, a few of these watches are offered with a display caseback but if you contact Nomos they will sell you any of them with the display caseback. Adds a couple hundred dollars but interesting as the movement is pleasant looking. I have the silver/taupe dial 36mm and I just adore it. It’s a really subtle but unusual colour, the numerals are outlined in just the faintest pink and the second hand pops. It was that or the pink for me and the silver won. I also really enjoy the seemingly very long minute hand. And the manual winding is so satisfyingly clicky.

[@ronnienes]

@Mark Abraham Oliva I keep replying and it keeps deleting my replies - possibly because I'm giving an e mail address? Anyway, I contacted Nomos via their site. I'm in Europe and I don't know if there are different sites for different regions, but the address I used (and had a back and forth with) was service at nomos dash store dot you know what. (Maybe that will work).They told me they would sell me a new watch with the glass back, or if I already had one, I could have a watchmaker contact them on the same address and order to part to install for me. They didn't seem willing to just sell me the caseback directly. I didn't opt for the caseback in the end, the price had gone up shortly before I bought it and I just couldn't quite justify the extra 200-300 euro. Although it is a pretty movement!

[@ronnienes]

I have the 36mm silver dial club campus. I think it’s silver, it’s a colour I don’t quite have the vocabulary to describe!

[@JimIBobIJones]

Display backs used to be so much cheaper! It used to be about €100 more to get a display back, now its around €250. In fact, Nomos as a brand across the board used to be significantly cheaper. The exact same Nomos I own costs a third more today. Even the solid back version costs considerably more than the display back when I bought it. I get there has been inflation but the price hikes go well above anything inflation would justify...

[@Nomosglashuette_official]

Happy to hear you're a fan about our Club Campus collection! Thanks for the great review.

[@brafman1]

The 3 pillars of watch collecting :) Would make a good channel T-shirt.

[@kurth6595]

I bought my first mechanical watch last November and it was a Club Campus 38 in Blue Purple and I absolutely love it. That cream coral dial tho… that’s a close second favorite for me

[@agroves72]

That's an awesome first watch. So much style for the price. Nicely done!

[@patrickmonkman8151]

Got the 36mm on order 😎

[@joepetrino5768]

I too have the Blu Purple 38 and I agree that it's great. Love the subtle color and the pops of orange.

[@Veradun66]

Love my Club Campus! I have the boring silver dial version, but I don't find it boring. I love it.

[@saikiranmushkara8955]

Love it how the joke 'plays with the light ' actually shows up in the visuals, especially the four watches side-by-side shot!

[@RedwoodAggie]

That electric green is special. The kind of special that makes me think I'm going to have dreams about it tonight.

[@warshauer]

The “three pillars” are classic! You continue to be best (and funniest) in class

[@kevinkohler2750]

An image search for California Dial shows that pretty much all others are Roman on top and Arabic on bottom. Nomos's use of Roman on bottom is unique AND it gave them a chance to use IV for four o'clock instead of the watch-traditional IIII. Nice touch.

[@Zotrax1946]

Well made, witty, tasteful, fine editing! Very impressive man! The three pillars are hilariously smart 😉.

[@theenavybluemonster]

I love the club campus line. The future orange is my favorite of the current models. I would get one if I didn’t already have the Timeless Club II red accents version. As far as wrist size goes, all we need is your wrist width in mm for lug to lug 😀

[@dannyg6592]

Love this video and love the Club Campus line. Orange and green are my favorites. The design team knocked one out of the park with these.

[@owaissiddqui6016]

the video quality of this is on another level.

[@YoureTerrific]

Thanks

[@typebflieger]

Great video. I can’t get enough of the club campus. Nomos keep coming out with great new colors. There’s something for everyone… unless you hate long lugs on principle (luckily, I don’t). IMO, those sexy lugs are one of many things that make a Nomos a Nomos.

[@Saucebawss]

That matte one needs to be the base finish. Completely changes it (for the much better). Another great video 🎉

[@jimlightanddark]

Great vid! I went through the trouble of ordering the 38mm orange one with a exhibition caseback. It should arrive in about 9 months. I know I’ll love it when it comes 😊

[@patrickmonkman8151]

How did you go about ordering the case back, I ordered a 36mm blue purple and in the comments section of the order requested an exhibition caseback but I’m not sure it’s been seen?

[@EverydayWatchGuy]

Killer commentary, as usual :) I really like the 38mm dial color options coming out of Nomos these days!

[@samuraimaster99]

WHAT A COINCIDENCE. Just yesterday I checked on youtube to see if you had made a video on these watches. Love to see it. Maybe this is fate. Maybe I spend money I don't have on this watch now.

[@pussycat3705]

I purchased that 36 mm green dial couple weeks ago , That’s really really an insane piece you can’t find like this watch at this price point with a beautiful in house movement and incredible design, Just go for Nomos if you really don’t care about heritage.

[@craigwoolbert2443]

I have the 38 Deep Pink and it's awesome. Once you try on a few Nomos you realize- Damb these are great watches!

[@YoureTerrific]

Great choice

[@robbie154]

I love nomos, but have never been a fan of small second complications. Would love to see a classic 3 hand design from them.

[@zoostation64]

I recently bought a 37mm Club Neomatik on a bracelet. It's gorgeous and fits my small 16cm wrist extremely well. The long lugs are not an issue at all for me, and the thinness (less than 9mm) is a lovely change of pace when compared with the Tudors and Omegas I've worn.

[@michaelfierman3256]

Love the Groucho homage and the watches! The shocking pink maybe the most.

[@Makav3ll1]

Just stumbled upon your channel. Just want to say, the production is spectacular. Your reviews are great, and you are hilarious. Breath of fresh air from other reviewers. You got my subscription :)

[@gzr3000]

This video catches the light beautifully!

[@ashishpatel350]

Orange and coral look amazing

[@berkayerkoc2998]

I really can't decide between orange and coral. I like the bright, bold, energetic vibes of orange but I also like the subtle, soft, understatedly elagant vibes of coral. Damn it's a tough choice.

[@allanpeters367]

I bought the club orange 729 last year, and it's a beauty(wearing it right now). Best bang for bug

[@harrycee656]

I love your content, I am surprised your channel has not exploded more.

[@timetowatch_francois]

Ok, ok, I am no longer saying “plays with the light” or any other variant in my reviews 😔 Thanks for sharing this great watch maker … even if they may end up sending their “collector” at your home 😉. If I’d have the budget, I’d fill a 12 watch box with NOMOS watches for sure! 😊

[@bartglover22]

Evan, you know you love colour (spelt correctly) and design, thus you had to like Nomos. I being from the old world, love style and sophistication thus I like Nomos also. When I became aware you are from Portland, Oregon the home city of my favourite band, Pink Martini; well my gast was never so flabbered. What’s in the water over there that so much talent has evolved so quickly? I hear they are bringing out a 44mm model, yes it’s enomos!!!

[@YoureTerrific]

Pink Martini is marvelous

[@threehander]

I have a 36 and want to trade it up for a 38.5! Great watches.

[@tugboathk]

that's what I did too! Sold my 36mm Ace Jeweller limited edition Club and bought the 38mm Club Campus U (738.S4). It is more sporty :)

[@mrmiralg]

Perfect timing. I'm heading to Germany next month. Super excited to visit Nomos and Sinn. I'm debating on which pink watch to buy... This one or the tetra that was just released...

[@Mal0wens]

Haha! "I have to draw the line somewhere. It's never enough for you people!" Brilliant!

[@maxad117]

i love your videos so much, they are a joy to watch! you have such varied taste that aligns with mine, its refreshing to not see the same kind of black steel sports watch over and over and overrrr... you make me want expensive ah watches tho lol, i get it completely, nobody does it quite like Nomos. grail Bauhaus watches for me, especially the smaller ones, its fun to see actual color in a watch!!! edit: even when you pick a black sports watch to talk about they are actually interesting ones, keep going with your gut on these vids, it's what makes em special!

[@djapojunior]

Nomos are pricey, but they are just on another level. 🔥

[@joerogan18]

Brilliant video buddy! Funny and informative. Keep it up! I’d like that deep pink at some point. Wish I could get eyes on it in person though.

[@bowedonut22]

Yeah baby, that’s what I’ve been waiting for, that’s what it’s all about, woohoo!

[@bobafett9592]

I bought the bracelet for my Tangente, dresses down real good.

[@karinochsenhofer9389]

Great Video as always! the way you show those watches is so beautiful, makes me fall in love again in a watch i already own. it comes back from servicing from nomos this week … after 5 months :-O

[@jurepog]

I own the 737 club campus on a ”bracelet sport” and I can say that that bracelet is fantastic.

[@toothbras]

Amazing what a quote from Dr. Nick can do to elevate content

[@YoureTerrific]

THANK YOU FOR RECOGNIZING IT

[@tugboathk]

Get one! You can also get display case back by messaging customer service and get them to adjust the order (and pay the different)

[@BollocksThreeofThem]

The three pillars indeed. Ooh, shiny!

[@cursedrake7975]

Great video! I have the 36mm absolute gray Club Campus, and the color scheme is really great. Unlike the larger sibling, the 36mm has numerals that often appear pink, since it's a very light shade of red. The warm tone of the numerals somehow doesn't clash with the cool tone of the gray dial. Fantastic watch and dial design. I also have the bracelet sport, which is... an alright bracelet, but quite overpriced. I should have bought the cheaper version (the "bracelet"), in hindsight. I think the design on the "bracelet" is better, and the bracelet sport's unique link design makes it tough to get a good fit, even with the 3 micro adjusts.

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

I hate to be one of those people (or maybe I don’t)🤔,but the gap from the long lugs just kills it for me. My heart also scratches really easily.

[@renaud_]

4:28 That's exactly what I'm waiting for. Come oooon Nomos give us that matte/galvanized finish in a production version !

[@tim462]

Great Video! :) what do you think about the Blue/purple Color Variant? 😊 Greetings from Germany :)

[@navneetkumar3057]

Love the green

[@hslev]

After a month's wait, I just got mine delivered from Europe. 38mm, white dial, sapphire back. I have to say I'm a little bit disappointed. 1) The dial appears as white in all the photos, but it's actually a light gray. Very little contrast between the dial and the hands, except for the little orange seconds hand. 2) The numbers in the minute track and the seconds track are microscopic. I think the dial would have been better without them. 3) The minute hand seems just a tiny bit too long, as if it's almost about to scratch the bezel. 4) It wears bigger than its measurements. I'm almost sorry I didn't get the 36mm, which also has the orange numbers, which I realize now I prefer to the gray numbers on the 38mm. 5) Most importantly, after not even a full day of wearing, it's already running more than 30 seconds slow. Nomos claims accuracy within 10 seconds a day. I will however say that the case build is top-notch and the movement really is gorgeous. If you get one, spring for the sapphire back.

[@DisplayKeesBack]

I love the club campus. Still debating, with myself, if it is a good look on my 7.5 inch wrist.

[@tillist1]

Dude the plays with the light got me Lolololol

[@freak9936]

"I like them thick, I like them lean" 😂😂 Sir, I see what you did there 😈😈

[@Imthecoach1]

Thanks for the vid. I like your vibe. Subbed.

[@GeorgesonOfficial]

"and my heart also scratches really easily" real 🗿

[@galatians22122]

Picked up the Night and Its Great!!!!!!!!!! Wear it all the Time!

[@MrZanzibar123]

Goin’, goin’, goin’, back to Cali, Cali, Cali, by the notorious Mr. T!

[@jgo5300]

Love the colours, don’t like California dials though. I have a 38mm Tangente, to me it wears just fine on my 6.75 inch wrist.

[@Lemon86807]

Fun fact! Nomos' workshop, is literally in front of A. Lange & Söhne and Glashütte Original, factory/ workshop.

[@JimIBobIJones]

I don't like how the 6 o clock marker is missing entirely, the blank space just looks "off". Its the same issue I have with the Tangente and why I ultimately got a Ludwig.

[@AverageBros]

"Plays with the light" *Me feeling seen*

[@NA-oo4ls]

I love my Tetra Neomatic but otherwise no other Nomos that speaks to me fits my wrists right. Too big or too small for my 6.25 wrists. The lugs are too long on the 36, and 36 mm is usually my sweet spot.

[@GCPlati85]

Do you guys prefer a pitchfork with three or four prongs? Mine has four, as it is garden variety, but I recently realized that the Navy Seals, Neptune and the Devil all wield pitchforks with three. Should I consider switching?

[@scotthetrick5057]

What's the reference # at 4:27? That looks amazing.

[@JordanDoesKeebs]

Been rocking a Club 701 for several years, and the lugs are long, but it's really not as big a deal as the comments online would make you think

[@msk3905]

I want one of these but whats keeping me from pulling the trigger is that i want the absolute grey and only available in 36, I definitely want the 38.5 version. I have a blue watch so nit considering that and no other color is jumping out to me. Oh and lugs don’t bother me or look too long at all, not sure why so many are whining over them?

[@cyprusdaedalus]

I just wish they brought back the option to do a display caseback on the Club Campus. I want to see my movement! Only the neomatik's have the option now. :(

[@krunoobrovac2066]

38 for you definitely! Thanks for the great video

[@JohnPicciuto]

Big fan of Nomos and really love my club but I got one do the boring limited edition 175’s in black

[@TROY2048]

47 mm lug to lug on a 36mm watch is criminal

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

A crime of the highest order! That gap is just 😬

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

I own the electric green the seconds hand just pops on the dial 😊

[@jollyrob]

I love the simple Nomas design generally, the colours and the prominent crown. I don't like the lugs (proportionally) and really dislike the mixture of numerals. I get it but it's a no for me.

[@themrgumbatron]

Great channel. Nicely done

[@jonandresen1483]

Nomos lugs are long. I call them Glashutte fangs.

[@walaarostom]

It’s nothing special, but more special than nothing 😅(simply Brilliant) !!

[@YoureTerrific]

Thanks. I also liked that line.

[@walaarostom]

Your reviews are absolutely informative and entertaining. Thank you and regards from Canada 🇨🇦. Cheers Sir

[@Mans1810]

I think there is another Pillar: it wears like a XX mm watch" 😂 The pink one is fire 🔥

[@STROND]

I have to say that the colourful models do look a bit cheap, but we know that they are typical good German engineering . So you could say "a wolf in sheep's clothing" And yes, it would not have taken much to make a nice deep engraved case back as the shinny back reminds me of the cheap watches you get, even though they are not !

[@wafflebr0975]

My favorite flavor skittle is all of them at once

[@dukirps]

Their lugs seem quite long. I do love their simplicity and dial colors though

[@JogieGlenMait16]

These Club Campus are like Timex Easy Reader but way more luxurious.

[@intotheLIMELIGHT]

Your video is cool and interesting as always, and yet I can't copy with any Nomos Clubs because of their lugs' length (yes, I've said that - me too), because they're way too polished, and because I like boring colours (and you don't) and I can't really even take a look at those corals, salmons, other weird fishes colours. I can't stand that. In fact, the only one I love now is the Limited Edition NOMOS-Glashütte Club 48 Made Exclusively for Brinker’s Jewelers because it's MATTE and grey - which I've just found and which is already sold out. It's like finding the future mother of your children and after 10 minutes meeting her beautiful boyfriend (Alanis Morrissette I guess already said this).

[@MarioGonzalez-yq3gw]

I asked my wife to measure my wrist yesterday and found out two things: 1. I too have a 7 inch wrist, which made me feel more special than it should have 2. My wife is getting concerned with my watch "hobby" or as she calls it, "obsession".

[@HiMyNameIsAllen]

Why no blue-purple color? Is that dial color getting discontinued?

[@AllecZB]

"plays with the light" i LOL:ed so hard

[@JH-ty3ic]

Fashion is fleeting, style is timeless. Looks like an upmarket Swatch.

[@davidb9531]

Loves me a bit of pink

[@jasper7535]

Did they discontinued the future orange for the 36mm ?

[@freen773]

shame they discontinued the perfect club. the neomatic in the 37mm size with no date and uniform dates

[@wheelsandwatches]

The coloured second hand cheapen an otherwise superb looking watch.

[@underachievingwatchcollect1878]

Nice 👍 Campus’s or Campi 🤷‍♂️?

[@YoureTerrific]

Campum

[@scalyscallion]

I really need a pink watch asap

[@Alex_GMan]

Would you say campus’ or campii? Nice light play🙃😉

[@vaclav_fejt]

Those look *lovely.* Sadly, after owning a Vostok (small seconds) and a Explorer copy, I just have to have that central seconds hand on everything but dress watches and chronographs. Still, happy colours are sorely needed, even on dress watches. Fight me.

[@giedriussprindys5823]

Great watches!

[@leemartin2978]

They need to explain on the website what the alternative straps are made of, because these need to be on rubber or similar. Dive watch on suede ? Really .

[@BamPlan]

plays with the light 🤝 wears smaller than the dimensions might suggest

[@atthelord]

You know I wish they made them smaller 28 to 31~ ish.. would instantly buy for my fiancé. Her wrists are tiny as tiny can be.

[@SuperMariooo25]

The something's connected to the... red thing. The red thing's connected to my wrist watch...♪ Uh oh.

[@grizzzy]

beauty!
