Something essential to start with…
To start with, our first category is something which every collection needs. People add watches to their collection for many different reasons however we believe everyone needs an everyday watch.

Something that is reliable and has a ‘pick up and go‘ feel.

So, the first thing we should really define is what makes an everyday watch? For me, it’s a timepiece which can be worn in a range of situations associated with a ‘normal’ everyday situation. Whether it be putting on your suit for a day at the office, getting down to the gym for a lunchtime session of fitness or relaxing with family and friends after work, the everyday watch needs to be able to handle it all without looking out of place or feeling uncomfortable.

With this in mind, in steps the NOMOS Glashütte Club Date 731.

The 731 is a member of the Club Date line up for NOMOS. Its aim is to offer consumers a modern, simple, highly legible design making us almost reconsider our pre-conceptions of how a sporty timepiece should look. This robust piece seems to have all the traits to easily handle any everyday situation it faces, naturally making it the ideal pick for this category. I think its time to put the NOMOS to the test…

The watch features a galvanized white silver-plated dial complimented with deep black lacquered style hands, really assisting the overall legibility of the watch. Combine this with the red inlay on those long hands, use of red on the minutes track and you’re left with a simple, yet certainly unique design.

The name of the game with NOMOS and naturally the Club Date is robust, sporty legibility. The uncluttered design makes this watch perfect for quick glances to the wrist to see what the time is. It’s fair to say this won’t be the last time we talk about the watches legibility.

The case on the 731 is fully polished stainless steel and features a slightly domed sapphire crystal. When we say slightly we really mean it. This benefits the watches desire to be thin almost twofold when compared to other crystal options out there. For strap changing fans, the watch comes in 20mm at the lugs making it ideal for a range of replacement watch straps.

The watch is water resistant to 10 atm (100m) meaning any of those day to day tasks the watch will be able to take in its stride with ease. The strap that comes with the 731 in the Club Date range is a pristine brown/reddish brown shell cordovan strap. Apart from being incredibly high quality, it works perfectly with the 731 picking up on the use of red on the dial effortlessly.
