We’re all for chronographs and lunar moon cycles and complicated moving parts, but sometimes a watch just needs a little more style and a little less science. Nixon’s latest creation The Spur is a bit of a departure from their usual so-big-it-only-looks-at-home-on-Flavor-Flav formula (this one’s an average 42mm), but it keeps all the other important aspects that keep us coming back to Nixon for timepieces. It’s smooth, well-engineered, classic and includes a diamond as the 6 marker (it wouldn’t be Nixon without it), but you won’t have to do curls to build up the strength to hold your arm up like you do with some of their other watches. It might be the unassuming cousin to some of Nixon’s other creations, but sometimes that’s all you want in a watch.
