Nomos Metro Date Power Reserve Ref. 1103

About This Watch

The Nomos Metro Date Power Reserve Ref. 1103 adds a date complication to the Metro platform while slightly reducing the case diameter to 37mm, creating a more compact and feature-rich variant of the Metro concept. The DUW 4101 movement integrates a date function alongside the signature power reserve indicator, proving that Nomos's in-house movement family can accommodate additional complications without compromising the slim case profile. The date window is positioned at six o'clock, below the small seconds subdial, and is framed with a thin ring that integrates it into the Metro's graphic design language. This placement is an unusual but effective choice — it keeps the signature power reserve arc at three o'clock as the dominant visual element while tucking the date into a position that is easily glanceable without dominating the composition. The 37mm diameter is the smallest size available in the Metro family, making this reference accessible to wearers who find the standard 38.5mm slightly too large or who simply prefer the proportional balance that the date complication creates at a slightly smaller scale. The white dial with its characteristic blue and orange accents maintains the visual identity established by the original Metro, and the overall effect is of a watch that provides genuine everyday utility — time, date, power reserve — packaged in a design that looks like it belongs in a museum of modern art.
