Nixon always seems to capture a bit of classic style and modern cool in the watches they release. The latest, The Diplomat, is no different. The 45mm travel watch is simple and clean yet somehow bold and futuristic at the same time. The NATO style Horween leather strap is held tight by some custom stainless steel roller bars and the face of the watch itself shouts out only four bold numbers. The style coupled with the Swiss-Made Ronda GMT quartz movement make for a solid wrist option that is worth the investment (or lack of an investment if you’re a Rolex type guy).
