Retro charm meets groundbreaking innovation in the Le Forban Sécurité Mer Marseillaise watch, an iconic French design elegantly reimagined. The watch is notable for its fusion of traditional watch aesthetics and cutting-edge strap technology.
The glory of this timepiece lies in its bund strap - typically a wide leather strap covering the caseback and extending beyond the case width. They were originally designed for World War II pilots as a shield against extreme cockpit temperatures. Love for these straps may be mixed; yet Le Forban Sécurité Mer adds a modern twist, crafting the first-ever rubber bund strap for a diver’s watch.
Since ancient times, gold has been valued above all else—being seen as a symbol of rarity, resistance to corrosion, and possessing an unmatched lustre. Whether standing atop an Olympic podium or marking a significant personal achievement, the gleaming warmth of gold holds a unique allure. NOMOS captures this timeless allure in its 18-karat gold models—Ludwig and Tangente—effectively incorporating the ancient reverence for gold into its modern horology craft.
Based in the clockmaking town of Glashütte, NOMOS is known for its precise mechanical designs and exciting use of color. The brand’s sofas, famous for minimalist designs, are anything but understated when it comes to color, housing a spectrum of dials ranging from Poporange to Super Sardine. In contrast, the gold models project a more discreet persona with silver-white and galvanized black dials, complemented by the warm gold tones of the case, markers, hands, and strap.
