Tangente Neomatik 41 Update Ruthenium
Not that the Teutonically tasty Tangente neomatik 41 Update Ruthenium needs the variation that informs its name. The original watch is as “now” as can be, especially due to its refreshing take on a circumferential date indication. Instead of using a hand to point to the date, Nomos has cut out 31 rectangular apertures between the digits. The date is indicated by the cut-outs showing red on either side of the correct numeral. In the illustration seen here, it’s clearly the 4th.
What’s new about the latest Tangente is its gorgeous ruthenium dial, cheekily referred to as “dark platinum,” ruthenium being a rare element in the same group. As the company notes, depending on the light and the angle, “colour shifts between dark grey and golden brown – with unwavering elegance.” In this application, with rhodium-plated white hands and numerals providing the contrast that ensures superlative legibility, the red indicators in the date ring enjoy even greater visual impact.
