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.

@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!

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!

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...

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.

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.

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.

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).
