James' Choice: Elegant automatic in black

Gala for the wrist: With Orion neomatik new black, the watch manufacturer NOMOS Glashütte presents an automatic dress watch in three sizes and designs.

GLASHÜTTE, JANUARY 25, 2024. James Joyce, the Irish stylist, dandy, and a major modernist novelist, wore wristwatches at a time when others were still pulling out their pocket watches. Joyce owned several watches—and had it been available, would certainly have chosen Orion neomatik new black. Why? Because this model, with which NOMOS Glashütte is starting the watch year 2024, is a masterful version of its most essential watch: Orion. The dial is black and just as elegantly curved as the lenticular stainless steel case. The seconds are displayed in a separate sub-dial, which is subtly integrated into the main dial.

Three sizes and two manufacture calibers

The new black Glashütte dress watch is available in three versions: with diameters of 36.4, 38.5, and 40.5 millimeters and with silver or gold accents on a black galvanized dial. An elegant trio with a tailored fit on the wrist, thanks to the ultra-thin automatic calibers DUW 3001 and DUW 6101. Even the largest of the automatic watches, Orion neomatik 41 date new black, is less than 10 millimeters in height. The date model also stands out with its large, black date window with gold numerals at three o'clock. Like the date ring in the same color as the dial, the large date window is also a NOMOS feature—made possible by the date ring being placed around the movement.

A nod to Glashütte watchmaking tradition

Orion neomatik new black follows on from the limited anniversary edition Orion neomatik – 175 Years Watchmaking Glashütte. With this special model with a silver-plated dial and blued hands, the independent watch manufacturer pays tribute to the former masterpieces of Glashütte watchmaking. In black, the high-performance automatic watch with its confident, even sensual elegance is now part of the collection. Quiet luxury for a lifetime—and longer.
