No substantive changes have been made to the movement design (and quite honestly, there's no pressing need to make changes at this point in time). Caliber DUW 4101 was the first movement from Nomos to feature its in-house designed "Swing-System" escapement, and the new Metro 38 Datum still benefits from this mechanical feature.

Nomos states that the larger case required numerous design prototypes, and small adjustments have been made to every aspect of the case architecture, including the design of the lugs (and case back) to accommodate the larger dimensions.

In addition to this new Metro, Nomos promises that a few "secret projects" will be revealed at Baselworld 2015. (We'll be sure to keep you updated with all the new releases.)

The Nomos 38 Datum will be available in June 2015 from authorized Nomos retailers. For more information, visit Nomos online.
