In case you’ve never been inside a Chipotle, Urban Outfitters or one of it’s similarly decorated faxsimiles, raw materials are all the rage. If you can get Tex Mex and stupid tchotkes while basking the glory that is raw materials, why can’t you take it with you? After the huge success (we don’t work for Nixon so we’re just hazarding a guess here) that was the 51-30 in raw steel, Nixon decided to give a few of the more popular watches the T-1000 treatment. Along with the enormous 51-30, now you can have The Chronicle, the 42-20 Chrono and The Private SS all decked out in the mostly minimalistic way possible – raw steel. When a watch looks as good as any of these you don’t need paint.
