    Nomos is definitely taking a big step towards younger customers. I'm wondering how the Campus will be priced and what this "student discount" will be.

    Not a fan of the Arabic &I Roman Numerals on the same dial but I see how it could be appealing to some.

    I am not a fan of the new blue and red colors. Way to loud for me. My favorite thing about Nomos is the tiny little bit if fun they have with very minimal color accents.

    I do like the new variations of the Club. I think at 37mm it will be hitting the sweet spot despite the long lugs. The Atlantic blue(grey-ish color) dial is my favorite of the new releases from Nomos so far.

    I like what Nomos is doing with taking some design risks while still keeping the baseline aesthetic the same. They definitely have a playful side to them, even if most of the super colorful ones don't appeal to me much personally. The Campus is a miss for me with the numerals, but I agree with @Jwit that the new Club Atlantic is very cool!

    This, right? Agreed! (3160 EUR, FYI)

    It's important to note that the Ahoi has had a significant downsize (I like it) to 36mm, from 40mm.

    Do you guys think the "traditional" club of the last few years will see a price dip once these hit the market?

    Personally I doubt it, though would love it if they did

    Did not notice that, very nice! I really hope they continue to keep the existing and release more 36mm models.

    Nomos, if ultimately in the cards for me, is precisely the category of brand I'd tuck tail and buy from a GM.

    I'm usually the first to stick up for Nomos - but they've kind of disappointed me this year. Maybe it's because they have been pumping out so much in the past few years - but this time around, they essentially just made slight variations on two existing models and called it a day.

    I mean - it's almost as if they waited to release the Ahoi and the Club with the new movement this year just as filler.

    I don't know. I expected a new model or something. And the campus isn't a new model. It's a variation of the club.

    I really like this Atlantik Ahoi, and think the smaller size than prior version was a great idea. Will probably wait for one on the resale market, but very tempting. I like the Club, but it lacks the unique Nomos gestalt to my eye.

    I've had my eye on that one too... and the estimate seems to ping-pong around every couple of days. Have to think it really is selling, given the price point is freakin' awesome. Just waiting now to get off the pot, myself, and pull the trigger on one (but hate the idea that it might actually be a 6-month wait...) Oops, now it says 3-months... :D
