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 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.
The design carries the race within it. A subtle outline of the North West 200 circuit is etched into the dial, a quiet nod to the course where precision meets danger. Beneath the day-date display sits the official NW200 logo, grounding the watch firmly in its heritage. A bold racing stripe cuts through the left sub dial, echoing the split-second decisions and timing that define every lap.
“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.
