We’re big fans of anything race-inspired, so it should come as no surprise that the new Grand Prix collection Nixon bills as “inspired by the thrill and adventure of the raw steel, rubber and smoke of the raceway, of driving gloves and top-down car races” piqued our interest. The collection focuses on slight redesigns of five of Nixon’s existing models: The Magnacon, The Trader, The Corporal SS, The Sentry SS and The Spencer. Each of the watches maintains their core aesthetic, but Nixon decked them out in a little more stainless steel and yellow for the Grand Prix editions. Prices and features vary, but for our money The Sentry SS looks the best.
