Nixon Regent

It's no secret that the Nixon brand makes some outstanding watches. The last time I was in San Fran I picked up a 51-30 Tide in Brushed Steel (I saw a few other things while I was there but you can check out my West Coast picks here) . The 51-30 is a beast of a watch. This makes it great for casual wear...not so great for more formal attire.

Well if the 51-30 is "the beast" then the recently released Nixon Regent is "the beauty".

The Regent continues in the stylish yet minimalist tradition that Nixon is known for but that is where the comparison to the typical Nixon stops. The Regent has a 25 jewel Swiss made mechanical, automatic winding movement with a day and date window and a beautiful pale blue sweeping second hand.

At $1,200 the watch is a great deal with a stainless steel case, a scratch resistant sapphire crystal and a genuine Italian Crocodile leather strap with a stainless steel buckle.....Boo-Yah!! (I don't really know why I said "boo-yah" but it just felt right)

Make it an Outstanding Day!
