Whether in the office or storming the beaches, the Axe watch by Nixon will prove to be both practical and stylized. Simplicity is not lost on the Axe, as its aesthetics suggests.

If you are not into leather, Nixon also provides the option of a nylon webbed band with a custom stainless steel buckle.
