Nomos Introduces Club Campus, the Affordable Graduate’s Watch with a California Dial

Two sizes at student-friendly prices, with Nomos' in-house movement.

Conceived for fresh graduates, or even students if they are so lucky, the Nomos Club Campus collection is made up of a trio of wristwatches for both men and women with an unusual dial design.

Just unveiled at Baselworld 2017, the Campus watches are priced slightly lower than the equivalent regular models, but are no less appealing. In fact, the Club Campus watches have dials with a combination of Arabic and Roman numerals, along with funky coloured accents.

Known as the California dial, such dials were found on early Rolex and Panerai wristwatches (the latter were made by Rolex as well). Legend has it the the California moniker arose in the 1980s thanks to a company based there that refinished vintage watch dials in this style.

Another feature unique to the range is the flat case back that can be personalised with a complimentary engraved message for the graduate.
