Nomadic Turas 914 - A Closer Look

Nomadic Turas 914 Video Review

Nomadic Watches - A Brief History

"Our brand name, Nomadic, has another meaning. To be nomadic – to move from place to place – is symbolic of our desire to make continual progress as a company, and as purpose-led individuals. We believe that perpetual movement across countries and continents adds depth to our character. Experiencing different cultures as a citizen of the world makes us more understanding of different perspectives. It helps us to thrive by making the most of every second we have; those moments measured and swept around the face of our watches by the iconically coloured second hand. The Turas 914 is an elegant, yet weighty and robust expedition watch, crafted from fine-brushed stainless steel, powered by a Swiss movement and proudly built in Belfast. The first 100 Turas ordered are individually numbered limited editions.

The Turas has a textured, polar white dial that’s more than a nod to the icy terrain traversed by Shackelton and his men on their ill-fated polar expedition. Raised numerals add a subtle touch of gentlemanly luxury. Phosphorescent hands and dial markers use SuperLumiNova® to release stored light energy slowly, providing vital detail at a glance when the sun dips below the horizon. The Turas 914’s exhibition case back is a tribute to the 1914 endurance expedition. There’s a small engraving of the men’s famous life boat – the James Caird - and their struggle in pulling it across 830 icy miles. The Shackleton family’s motto is engraved on the watch back: ‘Through endurance we conquer.’ Each Turas is proudly built in Belfast, yet another connection to Irish gentry Shackleton and his right-hand-Kerry-man, Tom Crean. Precision engineered and hand-built by our skilled technicians, every Turas 914 has a screw-down case back to guarantee saltwater resistance up to 100m / 330ft."
