Nomos is an avant-garde watchmaker, dedicated to a Bauhaus aesthetic and producing its own movements in-house. But the Club collection, and particularly the Club Campus, is purposefully designed to be approachable and versatile.

The Club Campus, as the name suggests, is positioned as an ideal choice for students and graduates getting their first serious watch. With graduation season right around the corner, Nomos adds two fetching new dial colors to the line.

The Club Campus is a field watch seen through the German watchmaker’s signature Bauhaus lens.

It features a California dial and a recessed small seconds, both hallmarks of the genre, but the thin obelisk hands, minimalist printed hour markers and boldly contrasting colors adhere to the early twentieth-century design movement.

The new All Olive color emphasizes the field watch elements of the Club Campus. It features eggshell-white printed hour markers, tiny pink numerals at five-minute increments on the minute track and the orange seconds hand typical of the Campus line.

Conversely, the Full Rose color strays away from the field watch genre with a soft pink dial that I find remarkably pleasing. It is well complemented by the same eggshell-white hour markers, orange seconds hand and baby blue minute track numerals.

Both new dial colors use the same rhodium-plated pencil hour and minute hands with white Super-LumiNova inlays that glow blue. The printed hour track has a matching blue glow in lowlight conditions.

All Olive and Full Rose are available in both the 38mm and 36mm versions of Nomos’s polished steel Club case, featuring elongated, curved lugs. It is topped with a domed sapphire crystal, resulting in a total height of 8.5mm for the larger case and 8.1mm for the smaller.

It’s a steel

The default strap for the Club Campus is velour with a pin buckle. It is charcoal gray for both olive dials and the larger pink dial, but taupe for the smaller pink dial.

However, Nomos offers a couple of steel bracelet options for an up-charge that are well worth it.

Both steel bracelet options feature narrow tread-style links with a vintage 1980s look. The more affordable option, simply called Bracelet, has a sliding clip, while the pricier one, called Bracelet Sport, uses a deployant clasp.

To see or not to see

Nomos also offers customization of the screw-on caseback on the Club Campus. The flashier, more expensive option is a sapphire exhibition caseback that showcases the in-house Caliber DUW 4001 hand-wound movement.

The movement has hacking, offers a 53-hour power reserve and is decorated with blued screws, perlage and Glashütte ribbing.

The other caseback option is a closed steel variation that offers a large, blank canvas. Nomos provides an engraving service, allowing for four lines of text with up to 22 characters each.
