The road falls silent for a moment before the start - that charged stillness where history waits to be rewritten. Then, in an instant, everything changes. Engines roar, speed takes over, and the pursuit of "First" begins.
It's in this spirit that The Apex NW200 Edition was born. Created to mark Nomadic's partnership with the North West 200 as the 'Official Timing Partner', this limited release of just 50 chronographs is more than a watch.

A bold racing stripe cuts through the left sub dial, echoing the split-second decisions and timing that define every lap.
The Movement - At its heart beats the Sellita SW500 M-a - a Swiss chronograph calibre renowned for reliability, accuracy, and refined mechanical craftsmanship.

It’s in this spirit that the 'Apex NW200 Chronograph' was born.
Created to mark Nomadic’s partnership with the North West 200 as the ‘Official Timing Partner’, this limited release of just 50 chronographs is more than a watch. Based on our Céad 126 chronograph, it’s a tribute to the relentless drive that defines road racing. Every detail draws from the legacy of those who’ve pushed beyond limits, from Glenn Irwin’s groundbreaking 126mph lap, the first to shatter the 125mph barrier, to Joey Dunlop’s legendary 26 Isle of Man TT victories. The number “126” is not just a reference; it’s a story of speed, courage, and enduring greatness.

“Céad,” the Irish word for “first,” represents more than Nomadic’s first chronograph. It reflects the moments that matter most in racing, the first lap, the first overtake, the first to cross the line. The moments that define careers, and sometimes, history itself.
Built with clarity and performance at its core, the Apex NW200 Chronograph is designed to be read at a glance, even under pressure.
This is not just a timepiece.
It’s a celebration of speed.
Of legacy.
Of being first.

The Heart of the Céad 126
Inside the Céad 126 beats the Sellita SW500 M-a D4 - a Swiss chronograph caliber built on one of watchmaking’s most trusted foundations. Robust, precise, and endlessly reliable.
With 21 jewels, a high-beat rate of 28,800 vibrations per hour, and a 58-hour power reserve, the SW500 delivers smooth chronograph function and dependable accuracy, day after day. Its cam-operated mechanism is engineered for durability and serviceability, a movement designed to be used, not hidden away.
The D4 grade finishing elevates the caliber with superior adjustment and enhanced refinement, while practical details such as hacking seconds and a quick-set day/date complication ensure everyday utility.
The SW500M is regarded as one of Switzerland’s true workhorse movements - but with a pedigree that speaks of both endurance and elegance. It is this balance of heritage craftsmanship and modern reliability that makes it the natural choice to drive the Céad 126.
