Tangens Komposition Storm Adds Two $439 Automatic Watches
Tangens has introduced the Komposition Automatic Storm in Dusty Blue and Dusty Purple, each listed at $439 excluding VAT on its US-facing website. The two watches bring muted, matte suede dial finishes to the Danish brand’s 38 mm automatic collection.
Colors drawn from an autumn sky
The Storm capsule takes its palette from the changing colors of Danish autumn skies. Both dials use a softly textured finish rather than the stronger reflections of a brushed metallic surface. Blue has a grayish cast, while purple gives the same case a warmer appearance.
The existing Komposition layout remains intact: applied 3 and 9 numerals, rounded markers at the other hours and three central hands. With no date aperture, the two new colors have an uninterrupted area around the lower half of the dial.
Angular case shoulders and a faceted bezel provide the sharper elements of the design. These continue into a flat-link steel bracelet, but the connection uses quick-release spring bars and a conventional 20 mm width. The bracelet narrows to 18 mm at its butterfly clasp.
The same 9039 automatic inside
Power comes from Miyota’s 9039, a no-date automatic running at 28,800 vibrations per hour. Tangens quotes approximately 42 hours of reserve and a rated accuracy range of −10 to +30 seconds per day. A transparent caseback allows the movement to be viewed.
- Three-part 316L steel case: 38 mm wide, 10.45 mm thick and 45.5 mm lug to lug.
- Sapphire crystal with antireflective coating on the inside.
- Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 on the luminous display elements.
- Water resistance: 100 m; international warranty: three years.
The new versions sit alongside the existing Matte Steel, Juniper Green and Bright White references. Both Storm colors are available now, with delivery in three to six business days.
