Released during Watches & Wonders 2025, Nomos’ Club Sport Neomatik Worldtimer – a slim, sporty, water-resistant and user-friendly world timer – drew admiring crowds to the brand’s booth. One of the thinnest world timers on the market, the Nomos Worldtimer further wowed the crowds with its sensible tourist-class price. Following the inaugural references, Nomos returns this autumn with the Night Navigation series, a trilogy inspired by nighttime travel and the glimmer of city lights seen from above.
Possibly the most useful item to pack before jetting across different time zones, a sophisticated world timer trumps a simpler GMT watch by offering travellers an encompassing, global vision of time around the world.
Nomos’ Club Sport Neomatik Worldtimer simultaneously displays local time and the time around the world with a city ring representing the 24 time zones. The peripheral ring, featuring 24 city airport codes (IATA), and the central hour hand are activated by the pusher at 2 o’clock. Once the city has been selected, a red bar appears, and you can calculate the time in other cities by consulting the fixed minutes track, which displays + and – values. A snailed sub-dial at 3 o’clock indicates home or reference time on a two-tone 24-hour scale via an orange hand, and the small seconds are displayed at 6 o’clock.
Reminiscent of navigation instruments found in a cockpit or a nighttime view of a city from the window of an aeroplane, the Night Navigation series features black galvanised dials with a sunburst finish shielded behind blue anti-reflective glass.
The three models, limited editions of 175 pieces each, play with different colour schemes. Using high-contrast turquoise indications for the city ring, the minutes, the small seconds and the 24-hour sub-dial, the Club Sport Neomatik Worldtimer Worldtimer Trace lights up in the dark with turquoise Super-LumiNova on the hands and hour indices. Inspired by the amber glow of city lights, the Worldtimer Grid features brown, yellow and orange SLN, while the black, olive and ecru SLN of the Vector edition replicate the glowing navigational instruments found in a cockpit.
With so much practical information on board, the stainless steel case is surprisingly compact. Its 40mm diameter is matched with a height of just 9.9mm, thanks to the slim automatic movement powering the functions. Coupled with a screw-down crown – with a practical red ring to warn you if the crown has not been fully screwed down – the case is water-resistant to 100 metres. All three models are fitted with a 3-link stainless steel bracelet with quick-change spring bars.
The new watches are powered by the Nomos calibre DUW 3202, an automatic movement with a fully integrated world time complication. With a thickness of just 4.8mm, the movement has an in-house escapement and hairspring, a 42-hour power reserve and a stop-seconds mechanism.
As mentioned, the Club Sport Neomatik Worldtimer Night Navigation models are limited editions of 175 pieces in each colour and retail for EUR 3,940 (incl. tax). More information at nomos-glashuette.com.
