It is not by accident that men are constantly in pursuit of the best automatic watches simply because an automatic watch is arguably the most convenient timepiece you can own, with the natural movement of your wrist keeping the watch charged and working. As a result, there’s no need to replace batteries or remember to wind your watch. But of course, it’s important to choose a piece that fits your personal style. Here I’ve rounded up four of the best automatic watches from Nomos Glashütte that suit men with a minimalist style.
The Best Automatic Watch for a Men’s Minimalist Business Wardrobe
The Zurich joins excellent craftsmanship with fuss-free style designed by the Swiss industrial designer Hannes Wettstein for the ultimate staple watch. This watch features a svelte bezel, stainless steel round case design and a white silver-plated dial. The faceted hands are rhodium-plated and the indexes are carefully mounted by hand. The Zurich is finished with a genuine shell cordovan strap in black from one of the finest tanneries in the world, Horween Leather Company of Chicago. Make sure you take a look at the Zurich Date and Zurich World Time (shown below) available, too.

METRO ROSE GOLD NEOMATIK 39
Reference 1180
For a trendy piece that catches the eye without going too far, the Metro Rose Gold Neomatik 39 watch is the piece to go for. The Metro in statement 18 karat gold is both bold and minimalist, and is styled with wire lugs that are synonymous with fine watches of the world. The watch displays simple but smart 3, 9, and 12 indexes, with simple marks in between, keeping the face smooth and elegant, with striking but simple rose gold hands. Lastly, the Metro is completed with an 18 karat gold winged clasp and an elegant remborde strap, in a brown Horween genuine shell cordovan.
The Best Automatic Watch for Men Who Travel the World
ZÜRICH WORLD TIME MIDNIGHT BLUE
Reference 807
Those who travel the world for business or the jet-setter with minimalist tastes will fall for the Zurich World Time Midnight Blue watch. This timelessly styled timepiece is suitable for any travel occasion. Though the face design has more on it than other watches I’ve mentioned, with 24 time zones visually displayed and legible, and hands designed with beveled edges and are rhodium plated, the sleek style and cosmopolitan midnight blue color still keep this piece firmly rooted in the minimalist camp. The smooth, round stainless-steel case pairs well with the durable black genuine shell cordovan strap, providing that comfort and performance which is required when traveling the globe.

AUTOBAHN DIRECTOR’S CUT LIMITED EDITION A9
Reference 1301.S3
Designed by renowned designer Werner Aisslinger, the Autobahn is for that car enthusiast, man of leisure, and for those who appeal to a bolder minimalist style. It’s on the larger side, it has a 70’s vibe metal bracelet with a unique arc design that follows the aesthetic of the dial. The black on black dial with its luminous blocks and luminous hands gives it new light in the dark. Lastly, prominent below the six and in the curve of the dial is the elongated date window completing and making it a stunning dial to look at. I am confident this masculine and contemporary departure from Glashutte watchmaking heritage will be well received.
Whether you are looking for a stylish investment piece, a classic watch to see you through daily life, or something that’s on trend, this selection of automatic watches will offer you an option that’s high-performance and minimalist in style.
