About

My name is Lincoln Nix. I served in the United States Marine Corps with 1st Battalion, 4th Marines, Weapons Company, 81mm Mortar Platoon. I got out in 2021 and started looking for a watch that represented the 1st Marine Division — and quickly realized one didn't exist.

So I decided to build one.

What followed was six months of figuring out something I knew nothing about. Watch construction, movement sourcing, dial manufacturing, case tolerances, strap materials — every single piece of it was a new problem to solve. It was fascinating and, at times, unbelievably stressful. But I loved it.

The result was the first watch in what is now the Marine Division Collection — a line of diver watches built around the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Marine Divisions. Designed to be worn, not displayed. Taken hunting, fishing, overseas, to work, and everywhere in between.

Since then the collection has grown to include custom battalion and unit watches built to order, with more models in development.
