The Lambda features a power reserve indicator at 12 o'clock. It curves around the dial and displays the remaining power reserve for 84 hours, or 3.5 days. Four thin hands give the watch an elegant look, making it seem like a kinetic object.
NOMOS "Lambda Glashütte Watch Industry 175 Years"
Manual winding (cal. DUW1001). 29 jewels (6 of which are gold chatons). 21,600 vph. Power reserve approximately 84 hours. Stainless steel case (diameter 40.5mm, thickness 8.9mm). Water resistant to 30m. Strap is Horween shell cordovan, 20mm, with a turned-back hem. Limited to 175 pieces worldwide. 85 yen (excluding tax).

 The dial has an enamel-like luster that gives it a special depth, an effect that is further enhanced by the curved dial and sapphire crystal glass. The meticulously polished steel case makes it a precision luxury watch that can also be used daily. The name "Lambda" comes from the mathematical term "intrinsic value," which means unchanging value.

The movement is also special: the Lambda is powered by the caliber DUW1001, the first caliber to bear the DUW (Deutsche Uhrenwerke, German watchmaking) name.

 The large yet slender twin-barrel calibre is powered by 29 rubies, six of which are set in hand-polished screw-set chatons in the traditional Glashütte style. All components have hand-polished edges and the steel parts are individually mirror-polished.

 The meticulously polished three-quarter plate is a beauty that immediately catches the eye. The screw balance (balance with a regulating screw) and the regulator with a swan-neck regulator are made using classic techniques. The spring of the swan-neck regulator is set on top of the balance cock and is engraved with the words "From Glashütte with Love" in German, hand-engraved by a veteran watchmaker. This is one of the rich heritages of this city.
