Following the popularity of its [monochromatic watch collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swatch-2024-holiday-collection), the Nixon Spring/ Summer 2013 Dip-Dye collection blends together colors into one cohesive bold delight.

These unisex watches are simple yet offer a [fun punch of color](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anatom-models) and a modern design. While the face of the watch stays the same color, the color begins to fade into another hue in a tie-dye effect on the strap. The watches are offered in [three different summer friendly designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pioneer-spiced-aqua-collection). There is a dark purple watch, which washes into turquoise, a turquoise number, which fades into green and then yellow and finally a white option, which turns to yellow in the front and grey on the back of the strap. Each of the watches featured in the Nixon Spring/Summer 2013 collection are priced at a very reasonable 79 Euros, which means that you have the option to buy just one or all three if you like.
