Description

A bold and luminous Worldtimer, the Club Sport Worldtimer Grid reinterprets NOMOS’s travel complication with a warm, nocturnal aesthetic inspired by the amber glow of cities seen from the sky.Introduction & Collection Spirit A tribute to the amber glow of city lights at night, the Club Sport Worldtimer – Grid interprets the Night Navigation theme in a warmer, more urban register. Like the Trace model, it combines the 40 mm stainless-steel case with a slim 9.9 mm profile, domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal and screw-down crown, ensuring robustness and comfort for today’s travelers, with 10 ATM water-resistance suitable for every journey. This limited edition of 175 pieces stands out with its black sunray-brushed galvanized dial, highlighted by printed numerals and hour markers coated with orange Super-LumiNova, evoking the warm glow of city lights at night. The yellow and brown accents on the city ring, contrasted with the bright orange 24-hour home-time hand and the city-selector marker at 2 o’clock, underline the urban and aeronautical inspiration. On the back, the engraving “Limited Edition – Grid 1/175” emphasizes the exclusivity of this colorway. The in-house DUW 3202 calibre (4.8 mm), visible through the sapphire caseback, drives the Worldtimer and 24-hour home-time functions with day/night indication, bidirectional winding, the NOMOS Swing System, six-position adjustment, and a 42-hour power reserve — a hallmark of Glashütte combining finesse, precision, and reliability. Design & Aesthetic Details The Grid has a more vibrant and warm character than the Trace, while retaining the technical foundation of the Club Sport Worldtimer line. Its black sunray-brushed galvanized dial, deep and elegant, is illuminated by printed numerals and hour markers coated in orange Super-LumiNova, delivering a warm, intense glow reminiscent of the amber city lights seen at night from above. The city ring adopts a warm brown tone with contrasting inscriptions, adding an urban feel to the watch, while the bright orange 24-hour home-time hand and the city-selector marker at 2 o’clock reinforce the model’s functional and energetic character. Subtle yellow accents add depth and recall the glow of streetlamps and nighttime traffic lights. The domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal enhances the sunburst texture of the dial and plays with ambient light, creating warm-toned reflections. Movement & Technical Performance At the heart of the Grid beats the in-house DUW 3202 calibre, designed and manufactured by NOMOS in Glashütte. This automatic movement, remarkably thin at 4.8 mm, integrates the Worldtimer function directly, avoiding any additional module and contributing to the watch’s sleek silhouette. The local-time adjustment is operated via the pusher at 2 o’clock, which advances the peripheral ring of 24 cities (IATA codes). The reference or home time remains visible on the 24-hour sub-dial at 3 o’clock, indicated by the orange hand, while the day/night indicator prevents any confusion between AM and PM. A small-seconds display sits at 6 o’clock. Technically, the DUW 3202 features the NOMOS Swing System (the brand’s in-house escapement and balance spring), a transverse balance bridge, a hacking seconds mechanism, and adjustment in six positions. Its 42-hour power reserve is ample for a long weekend of travel without winding. The finishing visible through the sapphire caseback — Glashütte ribbing, perlage, and blued screws — reflects NOMOS’s devotion to traditional watchmaking craftsmanship, in contrast with the contemporary urban character of the dial. Limited Edition & Exclusivity The Grid belongs to the Night Navigation trilogy, which explores the nocturnal and cosmopolitan aesthetic of great cities as seen from above. It stands out with its luminous, warm-toned dial and embodies a more urban and expressive interpretation of NOMOS’s Worldtimer complication. Like the other two models in the series (Trace and Vector), the Grid is strictly limited to 175 pieces. This restricted production, combined with the commercial success of previous Worldtimer editions, reinforces its rarity and desirability among both travel enthusiasts and collectors of exclusive timepieces. The screw-down sapphire caseback, engraved with “Limited Edition – Grid 1/175,” highlights this rarity and gives each watch true collector’s status. This limited edition showcases NOMOS’s ability to depart from its traditional Bauhaus aesthetic to offer a bold and warm interpretation of the spirit of nighttime travel, while maintaining the mechanical excellence and artisanal quality of Glashütte.
