**Ahoi** is a waterproof wristwatch by [[Nomos]] produced since [[2013]].

===== Overview =====
In [[2013]] Nomos presented the new Ahoi model, which is waterproof up to 200 m and thus well suited for swimming. It has a similar case and dial to the existing [[Nomos Tangente]] and [[Nomos Tangomat|Tangomat]] with the notable addition of [[crown guard]]s. In fact, the Ahoi model reference numbers are in the same range (550) as the Tangente (500).

The initial Ahoi models were a simple automatic, using the [[Nomos Epsilon]] movement, and a [[Nomos Ahoi Datum|Datum ("date") model]] using the [[Nomos Zeta]]. These models moved to the [[DUW 5001]] and [[DUW 5101]] in [[2018]], using the [[in-house]] [[Nomos Swing System]]. Another model introduced in [[2017]] was the [[Nomos Ahoi neomatik]], which used the "[[Nomos neomatik|neomatik]]" [[DUW 3001]] movement in a smaller case.

The Ahoi has been produced in various [[colorways]], including [[Nomos Ahoi Atlantik|Atlantik]] blue, lighter signalblau ("siren blue"), signalrot ("siren red"), and signalweiss ("siren white"). Most models feature a [[sapphire]] [[display caseback]] but one reference, model 550, has a solid steel back.

The Ahoi was recognized first place in the category "men's watches" by the watch magazine [[Armbanduhren, watch magazine|Armbanduhren]] in [[2014]]. It also won the iF product design award that year.
