Nomos is best known for its slightly formal but charming timepieces like the Tangente. The new Ahoi goes in a different direction, though it still retains the quintessential Nomos styling.
Waterproof to 200 m, the Ahoi has a 40 mm case that stands 10.64 mm high. The steel case has crown guards, as well as a domed sapphire crystal.
For a sporty touch the hour and minutes hands are blue while the seconds hand is red.

The Ahoi is available with or without date, though both have the same case dimensions. Both models are fitted with a fabric strap with the new Nomos folding clasp, but are also delivered with a shell cordovan strap and strap changing tool.
Though Nomos is known for its moderately priced timepieces, both Ahoi watches are fairly expensive at US$4500 for the Ahoi Datum and US$3940 for the Ahoi.
