NOMBRO HYBRID DOWNBEAT

The NOMBRO HYBRID collection won the platinum award at the MUSE Design Awards 2025: Season 1 in the USA in the Fashion Design category, and was also honored with the silver award at the international NY Product Design Awards 2024 Season 2.

The contemporary fast-paced world, immersed in the latest technologies, penetrates the digital space, where each of us spends as much time as in reality.

The cyberpunk style, which originated in the 1980s and was popularized by talented science fiction writers, has become even more relevant today. This theme is the basis of our new NOMBRO HYBRID collection!

The main features of the updated models are the new EPSON PX85A Hybrid Automatic movement (Seiko Group) with GMT and date functions, as well as a steel bracelet designed by HVILINA.

Characteristics:

• gender - men's;
• movement - EPSON PX85A hybrid automatic, quartz-mechanical, 7 ruby jewels, power reserve without charging approximately 6 months, accuracy -20+20 seconds per month;
• functions - GMT, date of the month, battery level check;
• front glass - sapphire with anti-reflective coating;
• back cover glass - mineral, tinted with print;
• case and bracelet material - 316L stainless steel;
• luminescent coating - Superluminova;
• water resistance - 50 m;
• case diameter - 41 mm;
• case thickness - 12 mm;
• quick bracelet change system;
• bracelet base width (docking link) - 20 mm;
• rose gold IP coating (for colored versions);
• limited edition - 350 pieces of each model;
• warranty – 24 months;
• watch lifespan – from 10 years.

The watch is available for pre-order with a special 10% discount. It will go on sale in November.

Cyberpunk works address not only the problems of human-modern technology relations, but also themes such as kitsch, inequality, and human impact on the environment, which makes this genre deep and self-sufficient, despite its youth.

The cyberpunk design trend is characterized by the use of materials such as glass, metal, leather, as well as futuristic and raw shapes. This is exactly what the NOMBRO collection is all about. The massive, complex case, designed by our engineers and designers inspired by the philosophy of the genre, is the hallmark of the collection, and the sapphire crystal over the dial protects against minor scratches.

The watch is equipped with a reliable Japanese EPSON PX85A Hybrid Automatic movement (Seiko Group) with 7 ruby jewels. Hybrid is a modern class of watch movements that combines the autonomy of a mechanical watch with the precision of a quartz watch. This effect is achieved by combining the control of three types of energy: mechanical energy to charge the battery on the principle of a self-winding mechanical watch (from wrist vibrations), electromagnetic energy to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, and electrical energy to influence the quartz crystal (on the principle of a quartz watch).

Thus, the application of the self-winding mechanism principle in the EPSON Hybrid Automatic solves the problem of needing to replace power sources compared to quartz movements, and the use of a quartz crystal allows for an accuracy an order of magnitude higher than with classic mechanical watches (-10+30 sec. per day for mechanical movements versus -20+20 sec. per month for EPSON Hybrid Automatic).

The reliability of this technology is ensured by several decades of development and research that preceded the announcement of the first such movement introduced by Seiko in the late 1980s and the subsequent three decades of successful operation.

The movement's power reserve is approximately 6 months without charging. The power source is charged when the NOMBRO HYBRID watch is worn and used. The movement does not require replacement of the power source (battery). The battery charge level can be checked by pressing the button located at the end of the watch case (a special tool is included for easy pressing). The charge level is indicated by the accelerated movement of the second hand. The movement reflects the philosophy of the NOMBRO collection.

The aesthetic of this genre is dominated by nocturnal urban landscapes and large amounts of artificial neon light. A reference to this element of style is the design of the dial and the model's indications. Vertical stripes on the dial symbolize urban highways, while the hands and Superluminova markers are illuminated at night to help you comfortably navigate time. The updated NOMBRO HYBRID models also feature a duplicated 24-hour indicator ring and a 4th hand with GMT function for tracking time in a second time zone. The watch also has a calendar function.

The satin-finished surface of the back cover features an engraving. The central part is made of hardened, tinted glass with a print. The back of the case is also engraved. The pictogram refers to one of the key advantages of the movement - exceptional autonomy, which does not require daily power supply replacement or winding of the mechanism.

HVILINA engineers designed a steel bracelet specifically for the NOMRO HYBRID models. The bracelet is equipped with a quick-release mechanism and features an engraving on the front of the butterfly clasp, as well as on its inner part.

The collection is a limited edition. A total of 350 pieces of each model will be produced. The model names are derived from the names of musical genres belonging to the cyberpunk style. The design of the box also refers to the aesthetic of this genre.
