Description

Here we have a 2016 Nomos Ahoi Atlantik Blue Automatic 552 with a polished 40mm stainless steel case that commands a modern presence on the wrist with elongated angular lugs, where a lug-to-lug length of 50.5mm and a thickness of 10.5mm ensure a sleek yet substantial fit. On the right side is a screw-down signed crown protected by robust crown guards, hinting at its aquatic capabilities. A polished bezel holds a flat sapphire crystal above a striking Bauhaus-influenced dial in a deep Atlantik blue that shifts beautifully from dark navy to charcoal grey. An outer minute track with dark grey accents is precisely executed, surrounding crisp Arabic numerals and baton indexes coated in creamy Super-LumiNova. At 6 o’clock, a sub-seconds register features a vibrant neon orange hand, creating a seamless symmetry and a playful pop of colour. A subtle colour-matching date window sits under the sub-seconds. Slender sword hands are coated in green Super-LumiNova, complemented at noon by the Nomos motif. On the reverse is a screw-down sapphire exhibition case back that showcases the automatic Nomos Cal. DUW 5001, featuring 26 jewels and beating at 21,600 beats per hour. This beautifully finished in-house movement is decorated with classic Glashütte ribbing, Nomos perlage, and tempered blue screws, and is wound by a skeletonised bi-directional rotor. The watch comes paired with its original 20mm Nomos white textile strap with a signed pin buckle.

Personal Note

One of the things I always say about Nomos is just how much watch you get for your money, especially on the pre-owned market. You're getting an in-house movement, outstanding Glashütte finishing, original design, and exceptional build quality, all at a price that many brands simply can't compete with. The Ahoi takes everything Nomos is known for and adds a sporty, everyday practicality without losing any of its Bauhaus charm. The Atlantik blue dial is particularly special, changing character throughout the day and giving the watch far more depth than you might expect. If you've been considering a Nomos, buying pre-owned is one of the smartest ways to do it. They represent phenomenal value for money, and pieces like this remind me why the brand has earned such a loyal following among collectors who appreciate substance over hype. Add this great piece to your collection today!

About Nomos

Nomos was founded in 1990, just after the reunification of Germany had happened with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the USSR. Based in the Glashütte region, it takes inspiration from the Bauhaus design movement. To have Glashütte on the dial, Nomos has to meet very strict quality standards. They must create at least 50 % of the watch calibre in Glashütte to receive the title of being a true Glashütte watch. They only use in-house manufactured movements, built up to 95% in the region, surpassing that requirement.
