I have made a lot of Nixie watches. The battery life depends on how often the display is activated, and the operating current of the tubes. You can use an Arduino if you turn it off when not displaying the time, and have a DS3231 or similar RTC chip to keep time. You can rig a pushbutton and a flip flop driving a MOSFET to turn on the Arduino power, and the Arduino can turn itself off after a few seconds.
