Nixon was founded on the idea that watches should be "team-designed and custom-built." This philosophy has led to the creation of some of the most recognizable designs in the world. At The Drop, we focus on the core "Icons"—the watches that have moved beyond just being accessories and have become symbols of the surf, skate, and street culture. Whether you want the heavy-metal weight of a 51-30 or the "less is more" aesthetic of a Time Teller, Nixon delivers quality that you can feel on your wrist.
The 51-30 Chrono: The Original Heavy Hitter
Named after its massive 51mm face and 30-atmosphere water resistance, the 51-30 is a legendary dive-inspired watch. It redefined the oversized watch movement, offering a level of scale and detail that is unmatched. Featuring a 6-hand pro-level chronograph and a countdown timer, it’s not just big—it’s functional. The "crown" is positioned at 9 o'clock to prevent "wrist bite" during active use, showing Nixon’s commitment to rider-centric design.
The Sentry SS: The Ultimate Daily Driver
The Sentry SS is where sophistication meets the street. It’s the perfect balance of a high-end dress watch and a rugged daily timepiece. With its 42mm stainless steel case, faceted indices, and a day/date window, it provides a clean, readable layout that works in any environment. Its 100-meter water rating ensures that it can handle a spontaneous dip in the lake or a rainy commute without missing a beat.
The Corporal: Rugged Field Design
For those who prefer a more utilitarian, military-inspired aesthetic, the Corporal is a standout. It features a tactical, recessed crystal and a large-diameter case that emphasizes durability. The bold numerals and rugged construction make it an easy-to-read, dependable piece for those who spend more time outdoors than in an office. It’s a field watch that hasn't forgotten its surf-culture roots.
The Time Teller: Simple Sophistication
The Time Teller is Nixon’s best-selling model for a reason. Its minimalist, heritage-inspired design is timeless and versatile. We carry the Time Teller in various finishes, including classic all-gold, silver, and matte black. Because of its 100m water rating and stainless steel construction, it’s the go-to choice for someone who wants an entry-level luxury watch that they don't have to take off when they hit the beach.
Quality Engineering and Movement
Every Nixon watch we carry is built with high-quality Japanese quartz or Swiss movements, ensuring pinpoint accuracy. With features like hardened mineral crystals and solid stainless steel bands with double-locking clasps, these watches are engineered to survive years of daily use. Nixon doesn't just build fashion watches; they build equipment for the lifestyle you actually live.
