The watch that went to the Antarctic.

Present in the watchmaking industry since 1926, Nivada Grenchen was one of the first to begin production of automatic watches in 1930 and steadily built a reputation for robust and reliable creations. Further on, the first ever waterproof automatic movement was born in 1950, aptly named ‘the Antarctic’, which was to be worn by members of the American Navy’s Deep Freeze exhibition, which involved traveling to the South Pole in 1956. A master of the Chronograph, by the 1960’s Nivada Grenchen’s distinct portfolio included three unmistakeable collections, namely: The Chronomaster, Seadiver and Aviator.
