NOMOS Glashütte has announced two new Ludwig models. Featuring refreshing coloring inspired by Aoyagi, they will be sold in limited quantities only in Japan.
A rare model exclusive to Japan, featuring refreshing coloring and leaf-shaped hour and minute hands.
NOMOS Glashütte has announced two Japan-exclusive models of the "Ludwig." The Ludwig is a simple dress watch characterized by a round dial that combines Roman numeral and line indices. The newly announced models are themed around Aoyagi, and include the two-hand "Ludwig 33 DUO AOYAGI" and the "Ludwig AOYAGI" with a small seconds dial. The former is a rare model limited to 50 pieces in Japan, and the latter is limited to 70 pieces.
The glossy white dial features blue printed indexes and a railway minute track, expressing the refreshing spirit of Aoyagi. This is further emphasized by the leaf-shaped hour and minute hands, which are different from those on the regular model. The Ludwig AOYAGI also features a recessed small seconds hand, allowing for a more three-dimensional look.
A simple two-hand model. Paired with a casual vegan velour strap. Manual-wound (Cal. DUW4001). 17 jewels. 21,600 vph. Power reserve approximately 53 hours. Stainless steel case (diameter 32.8mm, thickness 6.6mm). Water resistant to 5 bar. Limited to 50 pieces in Japan. Price: 281,600 yen (tax included).
The classic small seconds dial is paired with a 35mm diameter case. It comes on a Horween shell cordovan strap. Manual winding (Cal. DUW4001). 17 jewels. 21,600 vph. Power reserve: approximately 53 hours. Stainless steel case (35mm diameter, 6.7mm thick). Water resistant to 5 bar. Limited to 70 pieces in Japan. Price: 365,200 yen (tax included).
The round case is made of stainless steel and features sharp, straight lugs. The Ludwig 33 DUO AOYAGI measures 33mm in diameter, while the Ludwig AOYAGI measures 35mm in diameter, making both compact. At just under 7mm thick, they can be easily slipped under a shirt cuff without getting caught. Water resistance of 5 bar is sufficient for everyday use.
The movement is a thin, hand-wound Cal.DUW4001. The striped and chamfered bridges, blued steel screws, and red artificial rubies can be seen through the see-through case back. The number indicating the limited number is engraved on the outer periphery of the case back, allowing you to enjoy the special feeling that only a limited edition model can have.
