NOMOS Glashütte · Metro date power reserve ice blue
Strengths
The quick-set date makes the Metro easier to rotate with other watches. Its slim case and visible reserve preserve the appeal of manual winding.
Things to consider
52 hours cannot cover a 60-hour Friday-to-Monday break. The date corrector is unidirectional; NOMOS describes 5 atm as splash protection.

Strengths
The CentralChrono interests me most: its unusual mechanics are visible on the dial. For everyday use, though, I would start by trying all three on.
Things to consider
Photographs and dimensions refer to the labelled catalogue versions; screen references are unconfirmed. The stated 3 bar rating is not intended for swimming.
