WITH DISTINCTION
Whether the occasion is a graduation or the transition to working life, the Saxon brand intends to mark this important event with a watch collection featuring four new models.
With the summer season upon us, now is the time to celebrate the completion of a degree, the beginning of studies, or the graduation of a child or loved one by offering a watch. Celebrating these important events is what the Nomos Club Campus collection is all about. The brand is adding four new models, two with a bright orange dial (Future Orange) and two with a pearl gray front (Absolute Gray).
Measuring 36mm or 38.5mm in diameter with a thickness of 8.5mm or less, the cases of these watches are machined in steel, curved with a thin polished bezel and water-resistant to a depth of 100m. They house the mechanical hand-wound Alpha caliber, supplying a 43-hour power reserve, and their solid caseback can accommodate an engraved message.
In keeping with Nomos, the dials are not only wonderfully airy and legible, but they also combine shapes and colors to perfection. The hour track is composed of baton hour markers, Arabic and Roman numerals painted in white Super-LumiNova® with blue highlights and hemmed in either turquoise, orange, or red. The phosphorescent material coating the two rhodium-plated hour and minute hands emits a powerful green light when the watch is in the dark. In its counter bearing a white or black scale, the subsidiary seconds are displayed with the help of an orange lacquered pointer. And to finish, the timer that borders the flange displays sky blue, turquoise, or orange numbers.
The Club Campus is worn on a suede leather strap, anthracite for the large model and light gray for the smaller one.
