Simple yet structured, the design of this watch is reminiscent of architecture, defined by shades of gray that delineate contrasting elements across the dial. When describing the color of Tangente Datum Haifischgrau, images of sharks, lead, and graphite come to mind, with sharks resonating most closely with our perception. These predators, gliding through tropical lagoons and waterways, boast an elegant gray upper side and a lighter underside—much like the hues of this watch. Tangente Datum Haifischgrau proves an apt choice when practicality is paramount and embellishments are superfluous.

 

This watch is part of a set of 31 limited edition watches in 31 unique color ways. Created in limited edition of 175 pieces each, these were made to celebrate 175 years of watchmaking in the town of Glashuette in typical NOMOS fashion. They're all based on the template provided by the Tangente 38 Date with see-through case back. As a thank-you to collectors, the watches in this set (don't call it the Super 31) are priced several hundred euro's below the standard production model. They're available at select NOMOS retail partners - including Ace Jewelers. We'll be getting only one of each colorway.
