Top 5 Christmas Gifts: Nomad Edition

It’s that time of the year again: the season of giving, gatherings, and last-minute gift panic. Welcome to the Nomad Watch Works’ Holiday Gift Guide, curated for watch lovers of all kinds. Whether you’re shopping for a seasoned collector, a one-watch minimalist, or hunting for a Secret Santa gift that doesn’t feel like an afterthought, this guide is designed to make your life easier. Watches may tell time, but the right accessories elevate the entire experience, and that’s where we come in.

Below are some of our favourite gift ideas this holiday season, thoughtfully chosen to suit different personalities, budgets, and lifestyles.

Monad Legacy Watch Box

If there’s one gift that’s almost impossible to get wrong, it’s a watch box. Our Monad Legacy Watch Box is the ultimate no-brainer present, especially if you’re unsure about strap sizes, colours, or personal preferences.

Unlike straps, you don’t need to know the lug width of the watch to get this right. Instead, there are only two things to consider: how many watches your recipient owns, and their wrist size. The box is designed to store watches securely while keeping them neatly organised, making it ideal for both new collectors and seasoned enthusiasts whose collections are steadily growing.

Want to surprise them but don’t know their wrist size? A little creativity goes a long way. “Borrow” one of their watches on a steel bracelet and try it on at our showroom, or if you’re feeling particularly brave, measure their wrist while they’re asleep. The Monad Legacy Watch Box is practical, timeless, and something every watch owner eventually realises they need.

Custom / Made-to-Order (MTO) Strap

For a more personal and thoughtful gift, our Custom and Made-to-Order (MTO) straps are hard to beat. This is where function meets individuality. If your recipient appreciates craftsmanship, details, and having something truly their own, this is the perfect choice.

Our MTO straps are available in a wide variety of calf and exotic leathers, with customisable options ranging from colour and stitching to taper and length. Whether it’s a classic dress watch or something more contemporary, we offer compatibility with a wide range of watches, including the Cartier Santos lineup, AP Royal Oak models, Apple Watches, and many more.

Gifting a custom strap isn’t just about the product itself; it’s about the experience. From selecting the leather to finalising the details, it’s a gift that feels intentional and personal, something your recipient will think of every time they strap on their watch.

Trimfit Rubber Strap

Rubber straps have come a long way, and our Trimfit Rubber Strap proves that sporty doesn’t have to mean casual. Recently rebranded to align with our Foldfit lineup, the Trimfit is designed for those who want a sleek, tailored rubber strap that looks refined rather than rugged.

Available in sizes from 18mm to 22mm, the Trimfit Rubber Strap can be precisely sized to the wearer’s wrist, resulting in a clean, balanced look with no excess material. We also offer integrated flush-fit versions specifically for popular models like the Tudor Black Bay and Tissot PRX, ensuring a seamless fit that looks like it was designed by the brand itself.

Despite being rubber, the Trimfit has a dressy profile that allows it to work surprisingly well with elegant watches - yes, even a Cartier Tank. It’s a fantastic option for someone who wants comfort and durability without sacrificing style, making it a versatile everyday strap.

Foldfit Rubber Strap

Inspired by Omega’s iconic foldover clasp design, the Foldfit Rubber Strap has quickly become one of our most popular offerings since its debut, and it’s easy to see why.

The Foldfit combines the practicality of rubber with the sophistication of a deployant clasp, offering a secure, comfortable fit that feels premium on the wrist. It’s especially well-suited for those who wear their watches daily and appreciate the ease of putting on and taking off a strap without excessive wear and tear.

As a gift, the Foldfit Rubber Strap strikes a perfect balance as it’s thoughtful without being overly complicated, luxurious without being flashy. Whether you’re gifting it to a loved one or treating yourself (because you’ve definitely earned it this year), the Foldfit is a crowd-pleaser that works across a wide range of watches.

Travel Roll

For the frequent traveller or holiday adventurer, our Travel Roll is an underrated essential. If you’ve ever tried packing multiple watches only to be frustrated by bulky travel cases, this one’s for you.

Designed to fold up neatly, our watch roll takes up barely more space than a pencil case. It allows you to carry multiple watches or straps securely without eating into precious luggage space, which means more room for souvenirs, snacks, or impulse purchases on the way home.

Lightweight, compact, and practical, the Travel Roll is ideal for weekend getaways, business trips, or long holidays. It’s one of those gifts people don’t realise they need until they have one, and then can’t imagine travelling without it.

Honourary Mention: Wondrous Winter Wonderland by Swatch

If you have a very specific interest in Simpsons Christmas-themed watches, you won’t believe this: there actually is a watch for that. Swatch has released the Wondrous Winter Wonderland, a playful and festive timepiece that brings holiday cheer right to your wrist. This model features colourful graphics inspired by winter scenes and holiday fun, making it a quirky and joyful piece for collectors who love themed watches or just want something whimsical for the season. It’s exactly the kind of off-beat holiday gift or conversation starter that proves just how creative and diverse the watch world can be, even down to very niche interests like Simpsons-influenced Christmas designs.

Final Thoughts

Holiday gifting doesn’t have to be stressful, especially when you’re shopping for watch lovers. From storage solutions and custom straps to everyday rubber options and travel essentials, there’s something deeply satisfying about gifting an accessory that enhances how someone enjoys their watch.

At Nomad Watch Works, every product is designed with practicality, craftsmanship, and longevity in mind, making them gifts that won’t be forgotten once the festive season ends. Whether you’re shopping for someone special or rewarding yourself for making it through another year, we hope this guide helps you find something that feels just right.
