Designed as style accessories as much as technical instruments, \u003cstrong\u003eNixon watches\u003c\/strong\u003e are worn by professional riders and streetwear enthusiasts around the world, from the line-up at surf spots to the streets of major capitals. At MTHOR, we hand-pick the most sought-after Nixon models — collector editions, limited-run collaborations and catalogue icons like the \u003cstrong\u003e51-30\u003c\/strong\u003e or the \u003cstrong\u003eTime Teller\u003c\/strong\u003e — in both \u003cstrong\u003emen's Nixon watch\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ewomen's Nixon watch\u003c\/strong\u003e versions. Every piece is checked and authenticated by our team of experts before shipping, so your watch lands on your wrist exactly as it left the brand's workshop, original box and accessories included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Story of an Icon: From Encinitas to Wrists Worldwide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNixon was founded in 1998 in Encinitas, California, by Andy Laats and Chad DiNenna with a simple idea: create watches built for the surf and skate generation, distributed exclusively through the best boardshops. At a time when traditional watchmaking completely ignored board sports, Nixon introduced a new language: oversized dials, bold colours, designs co-created with the riders themselves. The brand's slogan, \"team-designed, custom-built\", sums up this method: every model is developed with the professional surfers, skaters and snowboarders of the Nixon team before it ever reaches a store.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccess came fast: Nixon became the must-have accessory of the action sports scene, was acquired by Australian giant Billabong in 2006, then regained its independence in 2012 to pursue its global expansion. Pop culture sealed its status too: the brand has stacked up collaborations with legendary licences and bands — \u003cstrong\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/strong\u003e from 2015 with Darth Vader, Stormtrooper and Han Solo editions, followed by \u003cstrong\u003eMetallica\u003c\/strong\u003e, the \u003cstrong\u003eRolling Stones\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e2Pac\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eMickey Mouse\u003c\/strong\u003e. These limited runs, often sold out within weeks at official retailers, have turned Nixon watches into genuine collector's pieces, hunted on the resell market just like limited-edition sneakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Unique Build: How Does a Nixon Watch Withstand Everything?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNixon watches run on Japanese Miyota quartz movements renowned for their accuracy, with stainless steel cases and water resistance of up to 300 metres. The iconic \u003cstrong\u003e51-30\u003c\/strong\u003e actually takes its name from its technical specs: a 51-millimetre case and 30 ATM of water resistance — 300 metres — enough to handle a surf session or a dive. Tempered mineral crystals shrug off everyday scratches, screw-down crowns protect the movement, and the solid steel, silicone or leather straps are built to take salt water, sand and impacts. Some models go even further, like the \u003cstrong\u003eBase Tide Pro\u003c\/strong\u003e, which comes preloaded with tide data for hundreds of surf spots around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree benefits sum up the brand's technical DNA: \u003cstrong\u003etoughness engineered for sport\u003c\/strong\u003e, with genuine water resistance and materials tested in extreme conditions; an \u003cstrong\u003einstantly recognisable oversized style\u003c\/strong\u003e that has shaped streetwear watchmaking for twenty years; and \u003cstrong\u003eadjustable, interchangeable straps\u003c\/strong\u003e on most models, so you can adapt your Nixon watch to any wrist and any outfit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Iconic Models of the Nixon Collection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eNixon 51-30\u003c\/strong\u003e remains the brand's most iconic model: launched in 2006, this oversized steel watch became a symbol of Californian style, worn just as easily with a wetsuit as with a full streetwear look. The \u003cstrong\u003eTime Teller\u003c\/strong\u003e, minimalist and available in dozens of colourways — including the highly sought-after tortoiseshell \u003cstrong\u003eTime Teller Acetate\u003c\/strong\u003e — stands as the most versatile Nixon watch in the catalogue, for men and women alike. Chronograph fans go for the \u003cstrong\u003eSentry Chrono\u003c\/strong\u003e, military-style devotees for the \u003cstrong\u003eRegulus\u003c\/strong\u003e, adopted by special forces, and surfers for the \u003cstrong\u003eBase Tide Pro\u003c\/strong\u003e and its tide data. On the collector side, the \u003cstrong\u003eNixon x Star Wars\u003c\/strong\u003e collaborations — like the 51-30 Han Solo available at MTHOR —, \u003cstrong\u003eNixon x Metallica\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eNixon x Rolling Stones\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eNixon x 2Pac\u003c\/strong\u003e command high resell prices as soon as they sell out at official stores. Whether you're after a first streetwear watch, a rugged chronograph or a sealed collector's piece, MTHOR's Nixon collection is updated with every new arrival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Do You Choose and Care for Your Nixon Watch?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoosing a Nixon watch starts with case diameter: 26 to 37 millimetres for slim models like the Kensington or the small-size Time Teller, around 40 millimetres for versatile formats, and up to 51 millimetres for the 51-30, reserved for fans of statement pieces. The \u003cstrong\u003emen's Nixon watch\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ewomen's Nixon watch\u003c\/strong\u003e categories are indicative only: the brand has always embraced unisex designs, and the Time Teller sits just as well on any wrist. Style-wise, a steel bracelet pulls the watch towards elegance, while silicone stays true to the original surf spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaring for a Nixon watch is simple: rinse it with fresh water after contact with seawater to preserve the gaskets and strap, wipe it with a soft cloth, and have the battery of its quartz movement replaced every two to three years by a watchmaker. Make sure the crown is screwed down before any immersion. Kept in its original box, a Nixon watch — especially a sealed collector edition — holds its full value on the resell market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy Your Nixon Watch at MTHOR\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMTHOR Shop, a French authenticated-resell boutique, specialises in selling \u003cstrong\u003eauthenticated\u003c\/strong\u003e sneakers and accessories.
