Nivada Grenchen Super Antarctic Automatic – 32024A02

The Super Antartic 32024A reissues the legendary Nivada Antarctic watch, renowned for its role in Admiral Richard Byrd's Antarctic expeditions during Operation Deep Freeze I in the 1950s. Crafted from durable stainless steel, its 38mm case features a polished and brushed finish, housing a Swiss automatic SOPROD P024 movement with a 38-hour power reserve.
Its matte black dial, adorned with shiny silver indexes and cream super luminova, ensures clear visibility in any light. The hands, also shiny silver with cream luminova, maintain the vintage aesthetic. Protected by double-domed sapphire glass, the watch withstands scratches while offering 100 meters of water resistance thanks to a screw-down crown.
A tribute to its heritage, the watch bears a gold medallion on the caseback, depicting scenes from Operation Deep Freeze I. Vintage-inspired details, like the lollipop hour hand and oversized triangle index markers, evoke the spirit of exploration.
Manufactured in Grenchen, Switzerland, the SUPER ANTARCTIC 32024A epitomizes Swiss precision. Its revival was sparked by a resurgence of interest, ignited by a vintage Super Antarctic shared on Instagram. Responding to enthusiasts' demand, Nivada Grenchen brought back the model, marrying historical significance with modern standards of quality and performance.
