Nomos Glashutte Tangente Tangente 33 Gold Twice Unique - Now

Reference 104.U5

About this watch

The NOMOS Tangente gold 104.U5 debuted in 2026 as a one-of-a-kind Twice Unique execution in the Now collection, based on the Tangente 33 design. Within the Twice Unique format, each design is created as an inseparable pair in stainless steel and 18 kt gold, with five models per collection. In Now, Tangente 33 is one of those five models, its dial reworked through a lapping process that produces a highly smooth, reflective surface. Its case is executed in 18 kt gold and follows the Tangente 33 proportions, measuring 32.8mm in diameter, 6.5mm in height, and 42.2mm lug to lug. The watch is fitted with a sapphire crystal. The straight lugs, narrow bezel, and flat profile remain unchanged from the underlying Tangente design. The dial is specific to the Now collection. Created through a multi-step lapping process using abrasive paste and water, the surface is worked by hand until it becomes mirror-smooth while retaining a soft, almost silky appearance. In this collection, Tangente 33 is reduced to its most minimal form: the usual numerals, indexes, and subsidiary seconds layout are omitted, leaving only the hands and the NOMOS logo on the dial. That treatment replaces the standard white silver-plated Tangente 33 dial with a reflective surface that responds directly to ambient light. Inside is the NOMOS DUW 4001, a hand-wound in-house movement measuring 23.3mm in diameter and 2.6mm in height, with 17 jewels and a power reserve of up to 53 hours. DUW 4001 remains one of NOMOS’ core manually wound calibres and is used here as the base movement for the Tangente 33 format. This reference is fitted on a strap with a 17mm lug width.
