The reissue honors the iconic version with red cross hairs and the minimalist, non-numbered bezel. Back in the day, the buyer could choose between several versions (red or white ‘cross hairs’ the numbers 1-12 on the bezel). True to the original, the dial comes with the discreet ‘red cross hairs’. The unidirectional rotating bezel with a black ceramic insert provides the new Antarctic Diver a deeper, richer contrast, along with greater durability.

Moreover, the Antarctic Diver has a generous, easy to read black dial providing a crisp backdrop for the markings, all in the same shape and position and as on the original, including the unmistakable script. The new edition of the Nivada Grenchen Antarctic Diver watch features a 38mm-diameter (up from 36.5mm), 12.9mm-thick case.Īs far as the overall design of the watch is concerned, it looks exactly like the original, complete with patinated “creamlatte” hands and indexes.

Swiss watch brand Nivada Grenchen has released a re-edition of its 1950s diving timepiece, the Antarctic Diver.Ī faithful reproduction of the historic model, this new Swiss made timepiece in stainless steel comes with a double-domed sapphire crystal glass, screw-down crown, and the SOPROD P024 automatic calibre.
