nixon volta solar powered watch


'the volta'

nixon recently introduced 'the volta' the brand's first rechargeable, solar powered watch.
the semi-transparent dial allows sunlight through to the solar panel below which charges
the watch's battery. powerslaves and desk jockeys need not worry, any light source will
suffice so your office fluorescence or tanning beds will also be good sources to recharge the watch.
