Lug Measurement (mm)
Compared to the 51-30, the Corporal feels noticeably lighter on the wrist, which was a welcome change for long wear while still keeping a solid, substantial look. The 48mm case is large enough to retain presence without being overbearing. The minimalist military-inspired design and the luminous fill on the hands make it easy to read in any lighting—especially with the Lum Dial for nighttime visibility.
Build quality feels just as durable as my old 51-30, with the all-stainless construction giving it a tough, tactical vibe. The all-black finish looks sharp and stealthy and has held up well so far. No issues with the clasp or bracelet either—it fits comfortably and feels secure.
If you're looking for a modern Nixon watch with bold styling and high durability, but want something a little less hefty than the 51-30, the Corporal SS is a perfect choice. It nails that balance of style, toughness, and wearability.

Hi John, the Corporal SS does not have a backlight function.
That should look great. I’m 6’2” 200lbs and find the face a bit to large on bare my skin but looks great tucked against a suit or jacket sleeve. Great piece for any occasion. Works for casual and for formal, and always gets a second glance from people.
The time is adjusted with the crown at the 3 o'clock hour.
All of our watch models are unisex! The 48mm size is typically a bigger men's watch and geared for a bigger wrist.
Thanks for reaching out. We're sorry but we don't offer engraving on The Corporal SS at this time.
