Nivada Grenchen - Antarctic Diver

Nivada Grenchen presented the Antactic Diver, a reinterpretation of the first diver's watch introduced by the brand in the 1950s. Price €910

Nivada Grenchen presented a reinterpretation of the first diver's watch introduced by the Swiss brand in the 1950s.

The new Antarctic Diver comes in a 38 mm x 12.9 mm stainless steel (316L) case equipped with a unidirectional rotating bezel with black ceramic insert. The screw-down crown contributes to guarantee water resistance up to a pressure of 20 ATM (200 metres / 660 feet).

Protected by a double-domed sapphire crystal, the black dial provides a crisp backdrop for the markings, all in the same shape and position and as on the original. The patinaed "cream latte" hands and indexes reinforce the vintage style of the watch. The date appears at 6 o'clock, magnified by a Cyclops lens.

 

Just like the original, the dial comes with the typical ‘red cross hairs’. In the 1950s, the buyer of the watch could choose between several versions (red or white ‘cross hairs’; the numbers 1-12 on the bezel). The reissue honors the iconic version with red cross hairs and the minimalist, non-numbered bezel.

 

The caseback is engraved with the profile of a penguin, the emblem of the Antarctic collection. 

 

 

The watch can be matched to a wide range of straps, including ‘Beads of Rice’ and 3-row Oyster steel bracelets. The price of the Nivada Grenchen Antarctic Diver is Euro 910 / US$ 1,000. nivadagrenchenofficial.com
