NOMOS Glashütte Lux watches

The Nomos Glashütte Lux is a tonneau-shaped gold dress watch that Nomos announced in October 2013 as part of its gold collection, alongside the round Lambda. The first Lux came in white gold, measuring 40.5 mm long, with a silver or pale blue dial.

Its movement is the in-house DUW 2002, a tonneau-shaped, hand-wound calibre with twin barrels and an 84-hour power reserve. It has 23 jewels and beats at 21,600 vibrations per hour. SJX describes it as mechanically similar to the Lambda's DUW 1001, without that watch's power reserve indicator.

In 2014 Nomos added rose gold versions in a slightly smaller 38.5 by 34 mm case, with hands matched to the case. Each takes the German name of an animal for its dial colour: Hermelin (ermine), a pale grey; Zikade (cicada), a strong yellow; and Zobel (sable), a dark aubergine. They are the Lux Hermelin 940, Lux Zikade 941 and Lux Zobel 942.

The Lux Weissgold 920 and Lux Weissgold Hell 921 are the original white gold pair. Both generations keep a case about 9 mm thick under a sapphire crystal.
