often we admire the beauty of luxury timepieces, knowing that we probably won’t be able to splurge on such luxury but lucky for us, there’s a ‘go between’ like the upcoming Nixon THE STEELCAT Chronograph Watch. brand name and stature aside, this watch lures our attentions away from who the maker is behind it. not surprisingly, Nixon takes its design cue from luxury brand name like Hublot and Audemars Piguet, and the result is what you see here: THE STEELCAT. the watch features a 5-hand SWISS Quartz chronograph movement, a custom 48mm stainless steel case, domed sapphire crystal, rubber bezel, screw down crown, silicone strap with molded stainless steel hardware, and water resistant up to 300-meter depth. available in three colorways: All Black, Rose Gold/Black, and White, THE STEELCAT is destined to be in Nixon’s Spring 2012 Collection with a price tag of just $650. not exactly cheap but hey, it is still affordable when compared to a five figure Hublot. doesn’t it? check out a few more look after the break.
