Introducing The Nomos True Blue Zurich Weltzeit, A Favorite Receives A New Dial, And In-House Escapement
You would be hard-pressed to find a more somber blue on the color palette, but that’s just how we like our Bauhaus – subdued and straightforward. The new True Blue Zurich Weltzeit is NOMOS’ chic take on its exquisite GMT that made headlines a few years back (check out this old-skool Week on the Wrist) and a recent appearance at HODINKEE’S event to welcome NOMOS to the States earlier this summer. Let’s dive right in.It’s unlikely for a HODINKEE reader to be unfamiliar with NOMOS, but just in case you haven’t had the privilege of being introduced to the younger German – here’s a quick preface.

I love the titanium and took it on a trip with me last week. Day 2 of the trip- the crystal fogged up. I contacted Omega via some email addresses and on instagram (when I had wifi), but did not have a computer nor real usable internet- so I could not report it via their website and ask what to do after the emails bounced back. Fast forward a week- I took the watch to Omega in NYC. They did a pressure test on the watch and said that it is air-tight and there is no way a seal failed. Basically- it is my fault and the crown may have been left open slightly. I told them that it is unlikely but not impossible I guess. They said I'd have to pay for a full service and it would take 8 weeks- I was perturbed and I mentioned that I felt it was probably not my fault as I am careful with my pieces. About an

The value of an Omega
Does Omega keep its value like Rolex, Vacheron, AP do? I have heard and read many articles stating that they do, but I wanted to know what the experts in TRF have to say about it.
