The 7th Barneys Holiday Collection now features stunning and impressively designed [Nixon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nixon-disk-watch) timepieces.

The luxury department store recently released a collection of [field watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/field-watch-1) titled The [Rover](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martian-aerogel-jacket) and The Rover Automatic. The Rover features two nylon band options of navy and burgundy with matching colored faces. They are comfortable to wear and come with stainless steal details. These watches are ideal for everyday wear. If you are looking for a dressier option then look no further. The Rover Automatic has a more distinguished look with a stainless steal wristband, a date magnifier and a forest green sun-ray dial. All of the timepieces in the collection have 3-hand Japanese quartz and sparkle in the light.

The Nixon watches are sharp and rightfully belong in the 7th Barneys Holiday Collection.
