====== Nomos Gamma ====== {{wst>image_r|Nomos_Gamma_ZB|Nomos Gamma (dial side)}} {{wst>image_r|Nomos_Gamma|Nomos Gamma}} [[Nomos]] **Gamma** (γ) is a [[manual winding]] movement with [[power reserve indicator]]. It was introduced in [[2007]] and retired in [[2016]], succeeded by [[DUW 4301]]. ===== Overview ===== The [[2005]] introduction of the [[Nomos Alpha|Alpha movement family]] was an important turning point for Nomos. Although based on the preceding [[Nomos 1 TSP]], it was largely constructed [[in-house]] rather than being a refinished [[ebauche]]. The gear train is similar to the classic [[Peseux 7001]], but was placed in a new enclosure based on the classic [[Glashütte]] [[three-quarter plate]] design. Nomos updated many of the components, adding [[hacking seconds]], and completely reworked the finishing with [[rhodium]]-plated surfaces, [[blued screws]], [[Glashütte Stripes]], and Glashütte [[solar grinding]] or [[Langeleist-Perlage]]. Calibre Gamma (with [[power reserve indicator]]) was released shortly after [[Nomos Alpha]] (without [[date window|date]]) [[Nomos Beta]] (with date), and [[Nomos Delta]] (with date and power reserve indicator). All three are hand-winding movements. In [[2006]], Nomos followed with a family of [[automatic]] movements, [[Nomos Epsilon|Epsilon]], [[Nomos Zeta|Zeta]], and [[Nomos Xi|Xi]], with similar features. Alpha and Gamma are smaller than the others, however, at just 23.3 mm diameter and 2.6 or 2.8 mm thick. The [[power reserve indicator]] is integrated into the [[mainplate]] of the movement, adding no additional thickness. It shows the remaining power in the mainspring, serving as a reminder to wind the watch. A direct successor to the Nomos Gamma was introduced in [[2014]], the [[DUW 4301]] featuring the [[Nomos Swing System]]. The Gamma calibre was phased out after this and removed from the catalog in [[2016]]. This movement is officially named using the Greek letter "γ", but Nomos often writes it as "Gamma". ===== Applications ===== * [[Nomos Tangente power reserve]] * [[Nomos Tetra power reserve]] ===== See Also ===== This movement is part of a family of Nomos movements produced since [[2005]]. The movement is partially made [[in-house]], though the [[assortment]] is supplied by a third-party. It was supplanted by the in-house [[Nomos Swing System]] family starting in [[2014]]. * [[Nomos Alpha]] Hand winding * [[Nomos Beta]] Hand winding, date * [[Nomos Delta]] Hand winding, date, power reserve indicator * [[Nomos Epsilon]] Automatic * [[Nomos Zeta]] Automatic, date * [[Nomos Gamma]] Hand winding, power reserve indicator * [[Nomos Xi]] Automatic, GMT or world time * [[Nomos Alpha.2]] Hand winding, 2 hands **Manufacturer:** * [[Nomos]] **Description:** * [[Manual winding]] movement * [[Shock protection]] * [[Escapement]] stone lever * [[Yoke winding system]] **Functions:** * [[Small seconds]] * [[Power reserve indicator]] **Data:** * 10½ [[ligne]]s * D 23.3 mm, H 2.8 mm * 17 [[jewels]] * 21,600 A/h * [[Balance spring]] Nivarox 1A * Power reserve About 43 hours **Extras:** * [[Hacking seconds]], [[power reserve indicator]] * [[Triovis fine regulation]] * Glashütte [[solar grinding]] on ratchet and crown wheel * Glashütte [[three-quarter plate]] * [[Glashütte ratchet]] **Production period:** * Production [[2007]]-[[2016]] * Successor [[DUW 4301]] {{tag>Movements Manual_winding_movements Nomos_calibres}}
