NAOS XL white silver / Premium black

Some straps announce themselves. The Premium leather in black does the opposite, which is why it disappears under a shirt cuff.

Naos is the core Sternglas collection and the brand's bestseller, a Bauhaus-inspired dial reduced to markers, hands and a date. Sternglas has designed from Hamburg since 2016 and backs the range with a 24-month international warranty. The Naos took a German Design Award in 2024.

This XL version puts that dial into a 42 mm polished steel case with 20 mm lugs, white dial, silver hands, and a Miyota GR12 quartz movement with a date. A double-domed sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective coating keeps glare off the white surface, and the case is rated to 5 bar. It ships on the black Premium leather strap.

A straightforward, quietly serious watch for someone who wants the size without any of the sportiness that usually comes with it.

Perfect for: office-appropriate quartz watches, black strap and white dial combinations, German-designed minimalist watches.
