Nixon The 42-20 Men’s Quartz Watch A0371097-00 Review

Nixon made the Men’s 42-20 Chrono Watch for beach bums who actually keep track of time. This watch features Swiss movement and a 200 meter waterproof rating so you know how much time you have to work with weather you’re reef diving in Belize or body surfing in Santa Cruz. Use the extending rotating bezel and countdown timer to make sure you don’t stay in the surf too long and miss your dinner date. The 42-20 Pu Chrono’s large size means you can easily read the time from the sandbar to the tequila bar.

The story of Nixon watches begins in Encinitas, California in 1997, where founders Andy Laats and Chad Dinenna launched a line of timepieces for people who surf, skate, board, and actively engage in the outdoor world. Today, Nixon watches are still inspired by modern, youthful culture, but the catalog has expanded to include a wide variety of styles beyond skate and surf. Their styles include simple monochromatic watches with silicone straps, DJ-inspired digital and LED displays, simple analog watches that draw on horological history, and sleek bracelet watches for a night out in the city. Whatever form they take, Nixon watches are some of the most coveted fashion watches in the market.
