Nivada Grenchen dropped the Antarctic Diver Green
A Tribute to Heritage and Craftsmanship
In my opinion, Nivada Grenchen is one of the most underrated watch brands out there today. Their dedication to quality, style, and design at a competitive price point is truly remarkable. The NEW Antarctic Diver Green perfectly embodies this ethos, blending vintage charm with modern engineering. This limited-edition timepiece pays tribute to Nivada Grenchen’s rich heritage with a stunning green sunray brushed dial, elegantly housed in a sleek 38mm brushed stainless steel case. A true fusion of timeless craftsmanship and contemporary innovation, it stands as a testament to the brand’s legacy and forward-thinking approach.
The Inspiration Behind the Design
The origins of the Antarctic Diver Green can be traced back to a vintage green dial discovered at Cenic Watches, near Buren, close to Grenchen. This unique dial inspired a reissue that blends classic aesthetics with modern functionality. The watch proudly features a handwritten-style logo reminiscent of the original, with the “Antarctic Diver” label at six o’clock and the elegant “Nivada Automatic” script at twelve o’clock. The case back is adorned with the signature penguin emblem, a nod to extreme conditions and the heritage of the Antarctic collection.
Unparalleled Performance and Precision
At the heart of the Antarctic Diver Green is the Swiss SOPROD P024 automatic movement, delivering:
28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz) for precise and fluid timekeeping.
A 38-hour power reserve, ensuring reliability and longevity.Super-LumiNova indices and hands, enhancing visibility in low-light conditions.
Built for Adventure: Durability Meets Style
This timepiece is as rugged as it is elegant, making it the perfect companion for both adventurers and collectors. Key features include:
A bidirectional ceramic bezel, offering scratch resistance and precise dive tracking.
A double-domed sapphire crystal, ensuring durability and enhanced clarity.

Available strap options: leather, steel, or Tropic rubber, allowing for customization.
