The Nomos Orion Neomatik New Black and 39 New Black join the Orion collection as a part of three new versions that are released. Two of them are described here as they share the movement and only differ in size. They both offer a time-only set-up with small seconds. The third model, the Nomos Orion Neomatik 41 Date New Black has a date indication as well.

The basic Orion Neomatik New Black comes with a diameter of 36.4 or 38.5 millimeters. Now the 36.4 is the Orion Neomatik New Black, and the 38.5 is the Orion Neomatik 39 New Black. Some people might become a bit nervous by this incongruity, even more when they know that the 41 Date version is actually 40.5 millimeters. But the design can have a calming effect.

Minimalistic and slim design

Both New Blacks have this typical minimalistic Nomos design, with a time-only lay-out, added with small seconds. The round case is from stainless steel with domed sapphire crystal and has a slim silhouette. As the movement is very slim with 3.2 millimeters, the thickness of the watch is only 8.5 or 8.7 millimeters.

The black dial showcases rhodium-plated hands and stamped indexes that are diamond-polished and rhodium-plated. Gold colored for the 36.4-millimeter version and silver colored for the 38.5-millimeter. On the edge of the dial is a minute track. The small seconds sub dial is formed by a 5-seconds interval track.

The Nomos Orion Neomatik New Black and 39 New Black have a power reserve of 43 hours

The “Neomatik” designation indicates the use of a self-winding movement, which is the in-house Nomos caliber DUW 3001. Ultra-thin offering a power reserve of 43 hours.
