Tetra Terra

Ref. 438 · In the case
The NOMOS Glashütte Tetra Terra brings distinctive character to the geometric Tetra design with its earthy red dial and square stainless steel case. Contrasting accents on the small-seconds sub-dial add depth and colour, while the hand-wound DUW 4001 manufacture calibre delivers precise Glashütte craftsmanship. Bold yet refined, it is a statement of contemporary design with the reliability of an everyday mechanical watch.

Why we carry it

Earthy by nature. Distinctive by design.

The NOMOS Glashütte Tetra Terra Ref. 438 brings a richer, more expressive character to the house’s geometric design, pairing an earthy red dial with a distinctive square case and contrasting small-seconds detail. Beneath its bold exterior, the hand-wound DUW 4001 manufacture calibre delivers the precision and traditional finishing of Glashütte watchmaking.

We carry it for collectors who appreciate individuality without excess — where expressive colour, considered geometry and independent mechanical watchmaking come together.

Tetra Terra — movement
The movement · DUW 4001

A hand-wound calibre where tradition meets precision.

The DUW 4001 is an in-house, manually wound manufacture movement combining traditional Glashütte architecture with NOMOS’ proprietary engineering. Its three-quarter plate, Glashütte stopwork, tempered blue screws and finely decorated surfaces are complemented by the NOMOS Swing System and DUW regulation system. Regulated in six positions with a 53-hour power reserve, it reflects the manufacture’s commitment to precision, reliability and meticulous finishing.

For the life of the watch

A relationship, not a transaction.

Every watch we sell stays close to us. We organise servicing, source straps, and answer the telephone ourselves — for as long as the watch is yours, and the wrist after that.

i.
Service, organised through us

When the time comes, we arrange the full service through NOMOS Glashütte and handle the shipping both ways.

ii.
Straps & bracelets, for life

Replacement straps and bracelets at cost, in any material the manufacture offers, fitted in person at the bench.

iii.
One person, not a call centre

You speak to Jason — for a warranty question, a service interval, or simply a second opinion — for as long as you own the watch.

Hold it once. Turn it over.

A watch makes more sense in the hand than on a screen — particularly through the sapphire back. Book a viewing at 900 West Hastings St., Vancouver and we will put a loupe in your hand.
