NOMOS has enriched its accessible Club Campus collection with two captivating new colorways for 2025—Starlight and Night Sky—continuing the German brand’s tradition of introducing fresh summer hues while maintaining their sweet spot between quality and affordability.
Available in both 36mm and 38.5mm case sizes, these celestial-inspired additions demonstrate NOMOS’s commitment to offering distinctive design at entry-level luxury pricing.
Entry-Level Excellence
The Club Campus series has established itself as the brand’s most versatile entry point, featuring the distinctive California dial layout with Arabic numerals on the upper half and Roman numerals below.
This year’s colorways cater to different aesthetic preferences: the pale yellow “Starlight” dial offers a decidedly playful, lighthearted appearance that stands out dramatically in the watch industry, while the navy blue “Night Sky” provides a more traditional, timeless aesthetic suitable for various occasions.
Both variants feature signature bright orange running seconds hands with matching orange outlines on hour markers, plus small purple numerals on the minute track—details that inject just enough unconventional color to create visual intrigue without overwhelming the design.
The Night Sky model employs white printing with matching white Super-LumiNova, while the Starlight version receives black printing with pale gray luminous material, optimizing contrast for each colorway.
The construction mirrors other Club Campus models with polished stainless steel cases, domed sapphire crystals, push/pull winding crowns, and screw-down casebacks providing 100-meter water resistance. NOMOS offers optional display casebacks for additional cost, plus complimentary caseback engravings for commemorating special occasions—thoughtful touches that enhance the ownership experience.
Dimensionally, the 36mm models measure 8.2mm thick with 18mm lugs and 47.5mm lug-to-lug, while the 38.5mm versions stand 8.5mm thick with 20mm lugs and 48.9mm lug-to-lug. Due to NOMOS’s characteristic long, thick lugs, even the smaller variants offer substantial wrist presence, wearing larger than their nominal diameters suggest.
German Movement Heritage
Both sizes house the manually-wound NOMOS Alpha movement—the brand’s first in-house caliber and a testament to Glashütte watchmaking tradition. Operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour with 43-hour power reserve, this 17-jewel movement features the traditional German three-quarter plate structure with rhodium-plated surfaces decorated with perlage, Glashütte ribbing, heat-blued screws, and sunburst patterns on ratchet and crown wheels.
The Alpha caliber’s six-position adjustment ensures chronometric accuracy while maintaining the tactile satisfaction of manual winding that connects wearers to traditional watchmaking rituals. For collectors seeking mechanical engagement at accessible pricing, this movement represents exceptional value in today’s increasingly expensive luxury market.
Standard equipment includes carbon-neutral vegan Alcantara leather straps with signed stainless steel pin buckles. Starlight models receive light gray straps complementing their Super-LumiNova hue, while Night Sky variants get matching gray straps for 36mm and dark anthracite gray for 38.5mm models. Optional stainless steel bracelets provide additional versatility for those preferring metal bracelet wear.
Pricing remains consistent with existing Club Campus models, starting at $1,660 for 36mm versions (Starlight ref. 718, Night Sky ref. 719) and $1,780 for 38.5mm models (Starlight ref. 721, Night Sky ref. 722). NOMOS’s refusal to charge premiums for novel colorways reinforces their commitment to accessible luxury as competitors increasingly abandon this price segment.
For those seeking aesthetic versatility, the Night Sky represents the more traditional choice, while the distinctive Starlight offers uniqueness rarely found elsewhere in the industry. Both models continue positioning Club Campus as one of the best gateways into luxury watch ownership.
