A Brief History of the Ahoi Line

The Ahoi line from NOMOS Glashütte has always been about blending elegance with adventure. Introduced as a robust, water-resistant watch, Ahoi quickly became a favorite among watch enthusiasts who appreciate both style and durability. The line features classic NOMOS design elements like clean typography and minimalist aesthetics, combined with features that make it perfect for an active lifestyle, such as high water resistance and sturdy construction.

Nomos have been working hard as always, and colors seem to be their go-to updates across their range, and that's always a fantastic idea to give watch lovers new options. This new deep blue version of the Ahoi will be a sure-fire favorite, I'm sure! Deep blues are always popular because of the versatility this color option offers, while not being as stark as a standard black dial. This deep blue version slips nicely into the existing color set and will offer yet another great option.

Over the years, the Ahoi collection has expanded to include various models and sizes, all maintaining the balance between elegance and functionality. The new Ahoi Neomatik 38 Date Atlantic continues this tradition, offering a midsize option with advanced features and a maritime flair.
