Nivada Grenchen Antarctic Stem Winding – 35005M40

The Nivada Grenchen Antarctic 35mm is a tribute to timeless elegance and vintage charm, perfectly capturing the spirit of mid-century watchmaking. Crafted with precision and sophistication, this watch revisits the essentials with a 35mm 316 stainless steel case that balances slender elegance with robust design. The matte white domed dial, available in black, white, or eggshell, is adorned with applied steel indexes and Art Deco-style numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock, complemented by arrowhead markers. Luminescent arcs replace traditional dots, adding a distinctive touch, while classic dauphine-style steel hands and a blued steel elongated second hand enhance its refined aesthetic.

Paying homage to its heritage, the caseback features an embossed penguin on a gold medallion, celebrating the watch’s connection to the 1950s Antarctic expeditions. First worn by members of the American Navy’s Deep Freeze Task Force, the Antarctic watch became renowned for its reliability in extreme conditions. This modern reinterpretation retains the original’s shock-resistant and antimagnetic qualities, offering the same dependability for today’s adventures.

Designed for comfort and style, the watch includes a double-domed sapphire crystal, a black textured leather strap with racing-inspired perforations, and a Landeron 21 manual winding movement with a 36-hour power reserve. Slim at 10.1mm with the crystal, this timepiece achieves neo-vintage perfection while offering 50 meters of water resistance.

With its striking Art Deco-inspired dial, rich history, and impeccable craftsmanship, the Nivada Grenchen Antarctic 35mm is more than a watch—it’s a statement of enduring style and legacy. Let it transport you to a golden era of exploration and elegance, one glance at a time.
