This Nomos movement from a Nomos Ludwig didn’t work anymore.
After taking it apart, I found a fair amount of dirt on one of the pallets.
After cleaning, oiling and reassembling the movement, everything works fine now.
The Nomos movement is an ETA 7001 that has been “nicefied” by Nomos. Still only worth around £ 90 😉 Nothing wrong with the movement – Nomos just charges way too much for what you get. Nice watches with the ETA 7001 are around £ 500, and that’s what a Nomos should cost.
As of 2005, they are now making their own movements. I haven’t gotten hold of one yet – it would be very interesting to take it apart and to compare it with the ETA 7001.
On to the timegrapher – let’s see how it performs:
Position | Accuracy s/day | Amplitude | Beat Error |
---|---|---|---|
FU | -1 | 312 | 0.2 |
FD | 2 | 319 | 0.2 |
CR | 1 | 289 | 0.2 |
CU | -9 | 289 | 0.4 |
CD | 3 | 287 | 0 |
CL | -12 | 282 | 0.3 |
Pretty much what you would expect from a decent movement. Properly regulated, you should get a live performance on your wrist of +/- 8s/day or so.
You can find a niece rueve thommen watch for around $300 with 7001 eta cal movement
Good afternoon.
Can you point me the regulation screw for the 7001 caliber?
Thanks.
Hi Tim,
Have you tried cousinsuk.com or eBay?
Best regards,

I love the ETA 7001, don’t really know why but I do. I have been trying to find a watch with this movement that isn’t too overpriced. I have settled on the Edox Les Bemonts 72014 AIR which costs about $800 USD. But if I could find one for cheaper that’d be great! Do you have any suggestions for a cheaper watch? I’d be ok with used or vintage. Thank you
I would go for a Stowa – it isn’t cheaper, but they look great. I don’t think you will find a watch with an ETA7001 for under $800.
