The closest match for “NOMOS Tangente neomatik in solid 18K gold” is the 35 mm Tangente gold neomatik, reference 161. It has an 18-karat gold case, an automatic DUW 3001 movement, and a white silver-plated dial. NOMOS currently lists it on its US site; the available product information does not establish it as a new 2026 release. A similarly named 38.5 mm model, reference 195, is a distinct watch with a date display and a different movement.
What the 35 mm reference 161 offers
Reference 161 pairs the Tangente’s spare, numeral-led dial with a solid 18-karat gold case. NOMOS Glashütte describes its dial as having refined typography, Arabic numerals and tempered-blue hands, framed by the gold case. The listed dial is white silver-plated, and the hands are tempered blue steel.
The case measures 35.0 mm across, 6.9 mm thick and 43.0 mm from lug to lug. A sapphire crystal case back shows the movement. Its 3 atm water resistance is described by NOMOS as splash-proof; it is not a swimming or diving specification.
Movement and daily wear
The automatic DUW 3001 is 3.2 mm high and 28.8 mm in diameter. NOMOS lists 37 jewels and up to 43 hours of power reserve. “Up to” is the manufacturer’s stated maximum, not a guarantee of the same running time in every use.

#1 Best Overall
- Gold-tone bracelet watch featuring textured dial with three o'clock day/date window and luminous hands and markers
- 41 mm stainless steel case with mineral dial window

- Water resistant to 50 m (165 ft)
Reference 161 is listed with a black Horween Genuine Shell Cordovan strap and 18 mm lugs. For a replacement strap, 18 mm is the relevant lug width; the specification alone does not establish compatibility for every aftermarket strap.
Gold neomatik variants: dial treatments
The smaller gold neomatik family includes other dial and hand treatments. Reference 162 is the doré option. Reference 163 keeps the 35 mm gold case but has a ruthenium-plated dark-gray dial and gold hands. These are variants in the 35 mm family, not the larger ring-date watch.

Reference 161 versus the Tangente gold neomatik 38 Update
Reference 195 is the separate Tangente gold neomatik 38 Update. Its 38.5 mm case, ring date and DUW 6101 distinguish it from reference 161. The specifications and US-store prices below are those listed by NOMOS when accessed in 2026; prices and delivery estimates can change.
| Specification | Reference 161 | Reference 195 |
|---|---|---|

The larger reference 195 has more wrist presence by its listed diameter and lug-to-lug length, adds the ring date, and has a 50-hour stated reserve. Reference 161 is the smaller, thinner option. Both prices are NOMOS US-store listings accessed in 2026, not independent market valuations.
