The Story

In 1973, the British Ministry of Defence (MoD) needed a watch strap for military personnel that could endure combat conditions. The goal was to create a strap that could withstand tropical humidity that often wreaked havoc on leather watch straps and prevent spring bar failures that caused watches to be lost or broken.

How We Improved the Design

We refined the original design, enhancing strength and durability with a sewn construction. We replaced chrome-plated brass with solid stainless steel hardware for resilience and longevity. The space between keepers was increased to fit larger watch cases. Additionally, we extended the strap length to 300mm to accommodate various wrist sizes and provide extra security by folding the strap tail back through the keepers.

Introducing the APEX Nylon Collection:

Apex Nylon Material:
The Apex is made from 100% polyester material, ensuring exceptional durability. It is long-lasting and environmentally friendly, reflecting our commitment to quality and sustainability.

Innovative Production Techniques:
Cutting-edge production techniques, including high-temperature and high-pressure dyeing, as well as filament twisting, to create the Apex nylon material. These methods result in vibrant, fade-resistant colours that maintain their brilliance over time.

Precision Weaving:
Advanced high-power shuttle looms, combined with premium yarn technology and special pattern threading techniques, produce a thick and dense ribbon. This ribbon boasts a luxurious feel, akin to pure cotton, offering a skin-friendly and warm sensation that sets the Apex nylon watch strap apart

Lovely watch i like it a lot i usually never wear watches but this one is exceptional classy and luxurious at a good price. Packaging it also pretty neat comes with instructions and additional wrist pieces for preferred sizing. The best part is the gold color and the ability to be able to tell the Date day and number how cool can't get better than that. Watch feels comfortable and i always see people starring and complimenting. Overall extremely happy purchased over 1 year ago still looking amazing gold dip hasn't rubbed off that much.

Quality
The hands and markers are not luminous. I wish the case size was 48mm. But a very nice watch by Nixon.

Great Watch.
Color: Blue Sunray
The watch is overall great. Comes in great packaging and very easy to resize.Tells time pretty accurately once you wind it perfectly. Almost all scratches and scuffs are shown but I would bet that once you buff them out with a polishing rag itll look as good as new. The best feature for me is the glow in the hard hands. I have seen newer models that light up the entire head but since this is an older model, the glow in the dark arms will do. Perfect for a gift, the quality is great!
