NAOS light brown silver / Premium 20 dark brown

Two browns several shades apart on the same Naos. The dial is pale and warm, the leather deep and matte, and the gap between them is what keeps the pairing from looking accidental.

Sternglas positions the Naos as the purest version of its design language, Bauhaus-inspired rather than Bauhaus-descended, since the school itself closed in 1933. What carries over is the method: reduction, contrast, geometry and sans-serif type.

This build sets a light brown dial in a polished 316L steel case, 38 mm wide on 20 mm lugs, with a Premium leather strap in dark brown. The movement is a Miyota GR12 quartz with a date, and a double-domed sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective coating protects the dial. Water resistance is 5 bar.

One color at several depths is an easier thing to wear than two colors trying to agree with each other.

Perfect for: dark brown leather straps, tonal watch styling, minimalist watches with a date.
