Nivada Grenchen was founded in the 1920s in Grenchen, Switzerland, and was actually one of the first watch brands to manufacture automatic watches. Nivada came up with several other modern wristwatch innovations as well, creating waterproof and “rustless” watches that would stand up to the rigors of the outdoor adventures for which they were created.

SPECS

CASE & BRACELET

The handsome cushion-shaped stainless steel case features gentle signs of use with minimal signs of previous polishing present. The case retains its original unsigned crown and pump pushers. The case back retains all of its original factory markings along with the engraved scuba-diver motif. The watch comes supplied on a 2pc handmade leather strap.

DIAL & HANDS

The blue sunburst dial features white sub-dials with a corresponding white outer timing track and remains in excellent condition overall, showing minimal age and no damage. The tritium lume plots all remain perfectly intact when inspected under UV light and have achieved a lovely eggshell patina. The original hands were previously restored with tritium and remain fully inspected under UV light.

ACCESSORIES 

None. The watch is keeping time, but the service history is unknown. A movement service can be provided upon request.
