The announcement of the new watch collection Nixon x The Rolling Stones will not make their task any easier since it includes a wide range of proposals which are planned to be launched in two phases.

Nixon x The Rolling Stones 51-30
This 51-30 from Nixon takes its name from the size of the dial (51 mm) and its degree of water resistance (30 ATM).
