Incoming : Nomos Autobahn 1302

Picked up an Autobahn today. I am a huge admirer of this watch but I’m not sure the canvass strap does it justice. Would welcome suggestions as to a strap I could buy that would compliment this stunning piece?

As to straps, have you looked at Nomos’s leathers? I really like the black with brown stitching on my Weltzeit.

I really love this Nomos. I think it is unique and sporty while being a little dressy. Would love to hear your thoughts/review on it after wearing it for a bit. Looks great on you!

I changed mine to nomos cordovan leather. Much better than the canvas.

Thanks all - I have just ordered a Cordovan Nomos strap. Dealing with Nomos really is just a breath of fresh air - phoned them up, had a chat about the fact the canvass strap is not for me, they asked for my wrist size, recommended a strap and put in the post same day!

Once the strap is on will wear for a few days and post a review.

Agreed, great company. I bought a light gray suede strap from them about a year ago. When it came it was too light for me and I asked to swap it for the darker one. They said no problem and shipped out the dark one immediately, even before they received the light one back from me.

Swapped on a Nomos cordovan strap. Much better!
