The NOMOS Glashütte Club Campus 38, reference 735, is the larger version of the Campus model within the brand’s Club family. Its stainless steel case measures 38.5 mm in diameter and 8.5 mm in height, with a lug-to-lug length of 48.9 mm. The galvanized, white silver-plated dial combines Arabic and Roman numerals with indexes filled with Super-LumiNova that glows blue, paired with rhodium-plated hands and a neon orange seconds hand. A domed sapphire crystal protects the dial. Power comes from the in-house DUW 4001, the hand-wound caliber NOMOS also calls Alpha, which offers a power reserve of up to 53 hours. Water resistance is rated at 10 atm, which NOMOS describes as suitable for swimming.
The watch displays hours, minutes and small seconds, and the DUW 4001 adds a stop-seconds mechanism for setting the time precisely. The movement uses a Glashütte three-quarter plate, Glashütte stopwork, tempered blue screws and the NOMOS swing system escapement, and it is adjusted in six positions with 17 jewels. This reference has a screwed stainless steel caseback, and NOMOS also offers a version with a sapphire crystal caseback. The standard strap is anthracite Alcantara vegan velour, hand-sewn in Germany, in a 20 mm lug width. On its official store NOMOS also offers the watch with an optional steel Bracelet or Bracelet Sport. Hand-wound models are delivered in a black poplar wood presentation box.
Reviewers generally describe the Club Campus 38 as a versatile and comfortable watch. The Calibrated Wrist found it compact and easy to wear, and said it suits both a T-shirt and a suit. At its 2017 launch, aBlogtoWatch noted that NOMOS aimed the Campus line at recent graduates and suggested it could be a strong value. Common criticisms concern the dial details. Worn & Wound, reviewing the 36 mm Club Campus, found the lume adequate but not bright, called the neon seconds hand “one step too far” and disliked the gap between strap and case. The Club Campus 38 is currently in production and listed in the NOMOS catalogue at USD 2,010, though the official online store currently shows it as sold out and refers buyers to retailers.
