Newer brands looking back on vintage creations for influence is nothing new–especially in the world of watches–but that doesn’t always mean the endeavor ends as successfully as Nixon’s foray into the vintage influence / work-wear inspiration area. The Industrial Craft Collection is described as “a story that’s meant to be told and born to be worn.” In Nixon’s mind, that means smooth matte black and rose gold accents for The 51-30 Chrono, The October, The Rover SS, The Sentry SS, The Corporal SS and The Deck. We can’t tell you what each watches story is, but we’re inclined to agree with Nixon that a smooth black and rose gold accents is something not only we approve of, but our Dads probably would too.
