For sale is my Nomos Tangente 139 full set with 4 extra st. This is the 35mm version with Sapphire case back. I am the original owner purchased directly from the Vancouver AD back in 2016. Condition of the watch is excellent. I can’t find any ding or deep scratch. light swirls can be seen on the side. Crystal is completely clear and mint.

Comes with the original Shell Cordovan strap, a blue custom strap with Nomos buckle ordered from Combat Straps (cost over $200), plus 3 more Hirsch 18mm straps.

Although the watch is 3 years old, I have only been wearing it in rotation of my 3 other watches for about 1.5 years. For the past 1.5 years, I have been wearing exclusively my Apple Watch until very recently when the watch bug strike back. Hence selling 3 of my watches to consolidate for my grail.

New reference 139 cost $2820 with tax from AD or Nomos website. As far as I know, Nomos does not allow AD to give discount.

I am asking a fair price of $2150 shipped. Open to reasonable offer. Watch is located in Greater Vancouver area.

*** Made a nicer write-up as I prepare to start posting it at other forums ***



This is a beautiful, thin Nomos Tangente. It features a smooth manual wind movement with a sapphire case back. This 35mm watch has longer lug to lug length at ~45mm and an almost bezel-less design to make it large like a 38mm watch. With a drilled lug, this watch is a strap monster that can be dressed up and down with different straps. It comes with a stock Nomos brown cordovan strap (there is a light scuff on the bottom half near the lug, ), an elegant and dressy Royal Blue ostrich leg strap with Nomos buckle from Combat Straps (cost over $200), a light brown Hirsch padded strap for dressing down, and two extra brand new Hirsch straps. All straps are in small size so that wearers with small wrist (less than 7”) will have minimal strap overhang.

Case has some minor swirls but is excellent condition or rated near mint. There are no scratches on it at all. No ding or dent on the case. Other than the small scuff on the cordovan strap, all other included straps are in mint condition.

The watch keeps very good time. Somewhere between my Grand Seiko’s and my Seiko SLA021J (MM300)
