NOMOS Glashütte Metro neomatik 39 silvercutvsVario Empire Art Nouveau Handwound

Owners widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Metro neomatik 39 silvercut's horizontally-brushed "Silvercut" dial for its reserved flair and industrial appeal, with one owner specifically noting the perfect color combination of the dial with blued steel hands and a red second hand. The slim automatic DUW 3001 movement is a notable strength, with one owner reporting accuracy of around 4 seconds per day. Wearability on the included shell cordovan strap is comfortable, and the watch features 5 ATM water resistance. Some purists, however, may find the 38.5mm size and dial novelty to be excessive. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Metro neomatik 39 silvercut highly for its distinctive dial and slim, well-regarded movement.

Owners widely praise the Vario Empire Art Nouveau Handwound for its detailed, multi-layered dial featuring applied numerals and guilloche patterns, its elegant Art Deco-inspired design, and the enjoyable winding feel of the Miyota 6T33 handwound movement, often visible through an exhibition case back. The 38mm case size is considered a positive by many, and the included leather strap is noted for its comfort and quality. Some owners find the differing fonts on the sub-dials and perimeter less appealing, and the absence of a constant seconds sub-dial is flagged as a drawback. On balance, owners rate the Vario Empire Art Nouveau Handwound highly for its distinctive Art Deco styling and detailed dial at its price point.
