Incoming-Nomos Orion(1989) 38mm

Proud new owner of a Nomos Orion(1989) 38 😀
Clear caseback absolutely stunning watch, my first non-Omega, all thats left is a Planet Ocean LM/LE and I've reached all my desired watches. Might just settle for a PO 8500 though.

great looking watch - but it looks huge. Do you have the tiniest wrists in the world, or....

neekon · May 18, 2015

I do in fact have very tiny wrists, they had to actually add a hole, but i didn't want something as small as the 33mm case. My other watches are a minimum of 38mm.

Do they make a 35mm for this dial?

neekon · May 18, 2015

no only 33 and 38

Long lugs & the fish eye effect from the macro setting make any watch look oversized on a wrist.

That's a great looking watch. 👍

Thank u. It's stunning in person. I absolutely love the color scheme. I barely feel it on my wrist compared to my Omegas
Manually winding. Is gonna take some getting used to, but I can live with it.

Great looking watch! I've been eyeing it as well. BTW, what's your wrist circumference? I have skinny 6.3" wrists and I wonder how the 38mm Nomos fits, given the long-ish lugs. Sadly we don't have Nomos here in Singapore so I've never tried it in the metal.

my wrists are about the same size as yours. I think it fits nicely on my wrist, its a lil bit maybe, but the 33 is too small in my opinion. if you can find one, i would definitely jump on it, its awesome, my favorite watch besides my Omegas

Looks big, but not unacceptably so IMO. These watches are almost all dial. The size of the dial in relation to the case can make such a big difference. My Nomos Tangente at 35 mm with a dial from an Omega SM300:

As you can see the dial on the Nomos is much bigger than the dial on the SM300, which surprised me a lot!

I went for the 35 mm because I found the 38 just too big. And my wrist is larger than yours...but I agree 33 would have been too small.

Nice one - congrats!

Cheers, Al

thank you Al. Sadly they don't make the (1989) in 35mm or I would've ended up with it. Its a very hard to find that particular model.
