Once you've finished building your 51-30 Chrono, our team needs roughly 15 to 20 business days to bring it to life and get it to you. All custom watches are built in California and then shipped to France. Watches are shipped to their final destination from France. As soon as your custom piece is built, packaged, and ready to go, we'll send a shipping confirmation email with tracking details so you can follow its journey to your door. Keep in mind that during promotional periods or the holiday season, order volume can push processing times slightly beyond the usual window.

Nixon 51-30 Chrono Custom Watch FAQs
How long will it take to receive my custom 51-30 Chrono watch?
What is the process of building a custom 51-30 Chrono watch from Nixon?
Building a custom watch at Nixon.com is a fun and easy process from start to finish. Simply begin by picking your watch model, then select the type and color of case that fits your style. From there, choose your dial design, pick a color for the second hand, and select the strap material and color that complements your look. To make it truly one-of-a-kind, finish things off by engraving the watch with a custom message.
Is the Nixon 51-30 Chrono waterproof, and what is its water resistance rating?
The Nixon 51-30 Chrono is technically not 100% waterproof. But that doesn't mean it can't be worn in the water! It has a water resistance rating of 300 meters / 30 ATM, meaning it is pressure tested to 300 meters. If you choose a leather band when building your custom 51-30 Chrono watch, we recommend avoiding water so that the leather strap does not get damaged.
What are the key features and functions of the 51-30 Chrono?
The key features of the 51-30 Chrono include a 51mm custom solid stainless steel case with a 9 o'clock crown and pushers, a unidirectional rotating bezel for an analog countdown timer, and a Miyota Japanese quartz 6-hand chronograph movement with date and timer functions. It also features a hardened mineral crystal, 300 meters of water resistance, and a stainless steel construction making it dive-ready.
Why is the crown located on the 9 o’clock side, and what are the benefits?
The crown on the Nixon 51-30 Chrono is located at the 9 o'clock position to prevent wrist bite when worn on the left hand, providing greater comfort during active use. This design choice allows the watch to be worn without the crown digging into the wrist, which is great if you're getting your hands dirty.
