Materials & Build
Nomos Glashuette utilizes surgical grade 316L stainless steel for the 1165 case, ensuring it resists skin irritation and maintains its polished finish over time. The watch face is protected by a domed sapphire crystal, a material second only to diamond in hardness, which prevents the scratches common with mineral glass. Inside, the DUW 3001 movement features the Nomos swing system, a proprietary escapement that provides exceptional accuracy even in a slim profile. The dark grey textile strap is woven for breathability and comfort, making it suitable for long days in warmer climates or humid environments. The exhibition caseback uses a second sapphire crystal to display the tempered blue screws and Glashuette ribbing on the movement.

Sizing & Fit
The case measures 40.5 mm in diameter and only 9.1 mm in height. This slim profile allows the watch to slide easily under shirt cuffs without catching. The included textile strap is a "long" size, designed to fit wrists with a circumference of approximately 170 mm to 210 mm. With a lug-to-lug measurement of approximately 47 mm, the watch sits flat and stable on the wrist. The 20 mm lug width is a standard size, which makes it easy to find replacement bands if you choose to change the look of your timepiece.

FAQ
Is the movement visible on this model?
Yes, the Nomos Metro Neomatik 1165 features a transparent sapphire crystal caseback. This allows you to view the intricate DUW 3001 automatic caliber, the rotor, and the Glashuette ribbing while the watch is off your wrist. It is a favorite feature for those who appreciate mechanical engineering.
Can I wear this watch while swimming?
This watch has a water resistance rating of 5 ATM, which is approximately 50 meters. It is safe for hand washing, rain showers, and brief periods of surface swimming. However, it is not designed for diving or high-impact water sports, and we recommend avoiding salt water to preserve the textile strap.
How accurate is the DUW 3001 movement?
Nomos movements are adjusted in six positions to meet strict chronometer standards. The DUW 3001 is known for its high efficiency and thinness, ensuring your watch keeps time within very tight daily tolerances. Because it is an automatic, it will continue to run as long as you wear it regularly.
Does the textile strap require special care?
The dark grey textile strap is durable and handles moisture better than leather. If it becomes soiled, you can gently rinse it with fresh water and allow it to air dry. It is designed to be breathable and lightweight, which helps prevent sweat buildup during daily wear in the summer.
What is the power reserve for this watch?
When the Nomos Metro Neomatik is fully wound through the motion of your wrist, it provides a power reserve of approximately 43 hours. If you take the watch off for a day, it will continue to keep time accurately until you put it back on or wind the crown manually.
