The All-New Nomos Autobahn Directors Cut Limited Edition Collection Watches

After about a week of teasers, Nomos Glashutte unveils its all new Autobahn Directors Cut watches. The 3 watches have some unique color-ways and a cool cusp bracelet to match. The watches are said to be inspired by Travel and the Speedometer of a car (hence, Autobahn)

“We associate the Autobahn from NOMOS with travel, with looking at the speedometer and with a love for mechanical watches. So the Autobahn on our wrist is always going to be more than just a timepiece…” -Werner Aisslinger and Tina Bunyaparat.

THE JUICE:

The Autobahn Director’s Cut watches come in three models - the A3 (White Dial), the A7 (Midnight Blue Dial), and the A9 (Black Dial). All three watches feature a contrasting, but bold color scheme. White and Orange, Blue and Yellow, and Black and Red round out the dial color scheme. Additionally, the wearer also gets the brands DUW 6101 that features a date mechanism that is easily set forward or backwards without damaging the movement.

The most unique of the features of the watch has to be the cuff style bracelet. This is going to be what enthusiasts talk about the most. The retro-style bracelet features large holes and a straight lug design with a ergonomic rehaut that grips the wearer’s wrist on the edges, with a link style bottom half we’ve previously seen released as NOMOS bracelet offering.

Personally, I’m not a huge fan the rehaut style cuff bracelets. Often, I find them irritating and typically uncomortable to wear. However, with the oversize elongated cutouts, this one may be different. I’ll reserve my opinions for having the watch in the metal - but I really like what I see.

So, How Much Is the NOMOS Glashutte Autobahn Directors Cut Limited Editions?
