<p>This watch—more than any other from NOMOS Glashütte—has rightly earned the title “design classic.” It is regarded as the watch of choice amongst architects' and writers', and as a timepiece for cultured individuals. In its present form, it is powered by Nomos extra-thin automatic DUW 3001 movement - and its case is only 0.3mm higher than the manual wind version. Reference 176 has the 'champagner' dial with sapphire crystal case back.</p>
