The NOMOS Glashütte Metro 38 date (ref. 1102) is a manual dress watch, with a 38.5mm stainless steel case, 7.8mm thick, powered by the DUW 4601 movement and a 52 hours-hour power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 50m, under a sapphire crystal. Manufacturer MSRP is $3,740.
The NOMOS Glashütte Metro 38 date is widely praised for its high-quality stainless steel case, beautifully executed dial with a subtle slope and matte/metallic finish, and a well-integrated date window. Owners and reviewers consistently commend its design, finishing, comfort, and accuracy, with one report of +2 seconds per day. However, legibility is a mixed point, as some find the thin silver hands difficult to read against the grey dial in certain light, while others report no issues. The dial's shininess and the crystal's curvature are noted distractions, and the hour and minute hands are perilously close in length. The stock strap was too large for one reviewer's wrist. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Metro 38 date highly for its refined design and excellent finishing at its price point.
