Nomos Glashuette Minimatik 39 Date 1250 watch

Minimatik 39 Date manual-wind dress watch

The Nomos Glashütte Minimatik 39 Date 1250 is a 39.5 mm stainless steel watch with a galvanised white dial, Arabic numerals and a date window at 3 o'clock. It runs on the in-house DUW 4601 manual-winding calibre beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour. A 52-hour power reserve keeps it running through a weekend off the wrist. The black Horween shell cordovan leather strap fastens with a signed stainless steel buckle.

50 m water resistance and domed sapphire crystal

Water resistance is rated to 50 metres, suitable for splashes and brief immersion but not for swimming or diving. The domed sapphire crystal is scratch-resistant and covers both the dial and the exhibition case back. A fixed bezel and 7.5 mm case thickness keep the profile slim for cuff clearance. The pull-push crown at 3 o'clock sets time and date without a screw-down mechanism.

Hand-wound movement with exhibition case back

The transparent case back reveals the decorated DUW 4601 movement through an extra-large sapphire window. Daily winding is required because there is no automatic rotor. The 20 mm lug width accepts standard straps, though the supplied Horween cordovan leather is sized for the signed buckle. Buyers who want a set-and-forget automatic or a bracelet option will need a different model.
