Nomos Caps off a Big 2025 with a New Pair of Limited Edition Club Sport Neomatik Worldtimers
It’s possible that 2025 might wind up being remembered as the year Nomos got its groove back. Of course, you’d have to argue that they ever lost it in the first place for that to be true, and I don’t know I’d quite go that far. But there’s no denying that they had their first true breakout watch in a very long time in 2025. The Club Sport Worldtimer, which debuted in April at Watches & Wonders, is almost certainly going to end up on a range of “Best of the Year” lists as December marches forward, and I can say without any hyperbole that it’s one of the top two or three watches from this year that I’m asked about by readers and collectors in the community. The fact that the limited editions that were part of the initial launch sold out so quickly is proof that the watch is resonating with enthusiasts.
Nomos added a trio of additional limited editions to the range back in October, and now, just in time for the holidays, they’ve added two more. Like that earlier set, the new Reverie and Roam models play on a similar theme. In this case, it’s the versatility of the classic champagne dial. The Reverie has a champagne dial base and is matched primarily with yellow accents (the outer cities ring, and within the 24 hour subdial). The complementary shades play well with each other, and the watch has a distinctly classic aesthetic. Nomos doesn’t really do “vintage inspired” but these tones make me think of old Datejusts and the types of watches you might remember your grandfather wearing. The Reverie is paired with a dark brown strap that I think bolsters this effect quite nicely.
The Roam on the other hand has a completely different vibe, even with the same champagne dial base. These two watches, taken together, are really a case study in how accents can work to change the entire presentation of a watch even when they’re relatively small. An obvious point, sure, but it underlines the importance of how these small decisions impact the final product. The Roam uses a higher contrast light blue theme to play against the champagne notes in the dial. The cities ring and the top half of the 24 hour subdial are in a sky blue shade, and the bottom half of the 24 hour scale is a shade of green for some additional contrast and visual interest. If the Reverie is Old World, the Roam feels quite a bit more contemporary to me. The color scheme is just more youthful in some intangible way.
Both of these watches make use of the same DUW 3202 automatic caliber that has been present in other editions. The aspect of this watch that gets everyone talking immediately is the quite addicting nature of the push button that cycles through each of 24 time zones. Not only does it make the Club Sport Neomatik Worldtimer a remarkably convenient travel watch (or just a watch to conjure travel) it underscores the incredibly high quality of the watch everytime you use it. It is a truly satisfying action, and anyone who’s had the experience of, for example, actuating a very high end chronograph versus a more approachable or affordable chrono will immediately understand the appeal of something so mechanically crisp, available whenever you need it or want it.
Both the Reverie and the Roam are limited editions of 175 pieces each. The retail price is set at $5,190. Nomos
