Nomos Glashütte Ahoi Neomatik 38 Date (White Dial)
Nomos Glashütte knows a thing or two about clean, white-dialed watches, and now its most versatile timepiece finally gets the honor. The Ahoi Neomatik 38 Date is available with a silver-plated white dial execution that’s nearly identical to bigger, 40mm Ahoi models originally launched back in 2013, but were subsequently discontinued. Buyers can select a bracelet or a strap and a stainless steel or open sapphire crystal glass back.

Nivada Grenchen pulled the aesthetic design for the Antarctic Diver Aquamar from its archive, and added a trick to the dial so simple and brilliant, it’s a wonder that, according to the brand, it hasn’t been done before. The date wheel has been replaced with multiple color segments, including different hues of lume, and rather than exposing it through a date window, the dial has geometric cutouts. The color arrangement of the hour markers can be adjusted with the crown as you would change the date.
