METALLICA announces second collection with watch NIXON watches

14-02-2025

Beginning February 13, 2025, just in time for the return of the METALLICA‘s “M72” North American tour, Nixon is proud to announce a second collaboration collection with Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductees METALLICA. This encore collection, which includes four watches, was born of long-shared mutual respect for upstarts who buck the system and wind up changing it for good.

Nixon x Metallica will be available as of February 13, both in stores and online at Metallica.com, Metallica.ProbityMerch.com (UK),and Nixon.com. The collection includes four hard-rocking models:

* Sentry Stainless Steel “Kill ‘Em All” $300

The METALLICA collection continues with the band’s debut album cover gracing the dial of the Sentry, including a custom Metallica Barb seconds hand and “Kill ‘Em All” hammerhead hour hand.

Sentry Stainless Steel “72 Seasons” $300

The second version of the Sentry in this collection features METALLICA‘s most recent album cover, “72 Seasons”, and its unmistakable yellow. It also features the Metallica Barb seconds hand and leather-textured dial.

Time Teller “Ride The Lightning” $150

The METALLICA collection adds another shocking hit with the “Ride The Lightning” cover on the dial of this Time Teller. The case and band are coated with a special brushed Super Black finish while the hands and wordmarks are hit with a clean black polish.

51-30 “Master Of Puppets” $550 USD

This watch cranks up the volume with the iconic “Master Of Puppets” crosses spanning the expansive sunray dial of the 51-30. To take it a step further, a bushed Super Black finish surrounds the band, case, and bezel.

The 3-link stainless steel easy-to-read 51 mm design that launched the oversized trend, with:

– Unique multilayer “Cross” dial
– Metallica Barb seconds hand
– Textured center links
– Helmet cross embossed crown
– Updated second pressing colorway

METALLICA released their last album ’72 Seasons’ 14th in April 2023. 

Speaking on the concept of the album title, Hetfield says: “72 seasons. The first 18 years of our lives that form our true or false selves. The concept that we were told ‘who we are’ by our parents. A possible pigeonholing around what kind of personality we are. I think the most interesting part of this is the continued study of those core beliefs and how it affects our perception of the world today. Much of our adult experience is reenactment or reaction to these childhood experiences. Prisoners of childhood or breaking free of those bondages we carry.”

The complete track listing for “72 Seasons” is:

  1. 72 Seasons
  2. Shadows Follow
  3. Screaming Suicide
  4. Sleepwalk My Life Away
  5. You Must Burn!
  6. Lux Æterna
  7. Crown Of Barbed Wire
  8.  Chasing Light
  9. If Darkness Had A Son
  10. Too Far Gone?
  11. Room Of Mirrors
  12. Inamorata

Says METALLICA: “The album package was once again conceived and art directed by our good friend, acclaimed designer David Turner and his team. David, who won a Grammy for his work on ‘Death Magnetic’, is the man behind the look and feel of all of our recent releases, including ‘Through The Never’‘S&M2’, and ‘Hardwired’.”
