Antarctic 38mm Eggshell Beige Luminova Watch 32080A

The Watch

The Nivada Grenchen watch is a modern reincarnation of the iconic Antarctic model. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, it strikes the perfect balance between classic and contemporary. The 38 mm case is made from 316L stainless steel, ensuring durability and resilience. Its thickness of 11.95 mm maintains a refined profile without compromising robustness. The screw-down caseback, engraved with a penguin motif and a gold medallion, underscores this timepiece's unique heritage. Polished and high-shine, the steel beautifully reflects light, accentuating the subtle, refined aesthetic that sets Swiss creations apart.

The Dial

The semi-matte dial of this watch is a masterclass in understated elegance. Its beige tone and semi-matte finish deliver excellent legibility thanks to crisp Arabic numerals and luminescent indices. The contrast between the beige background and the steel elements creates a striking visual effect, further enhanced by the minute track running along the dial's perimeter. The steel hands, also luminescent, add a touch of sophistication and practicality - even in the dark, the time remains easy to read. They display hours, minutes, and seconds with a refinement and precision that will delight fine watchmaking enthusiasts.

The Movement

The movement powering this watch is a Swiss Soprod P024 caliber, recognized for its superior performance and unwavering reliability. With a high frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz), this mechanism delivers unmatched precision, paired with a power reserve of 38 hours. The rotor visible through the screw-down caseback continues to efficiently power the mechanical movement, ensuring every second is captured with accuracy.

The Strap

The strap is available in three different options via the drop-down menu. First, a stainless steel bracelet combining resilience and modern style with its brushed and polished finish and a deployment clasp. Alternatively, a perforated brown bovine leather strap offers a more refined and timeless look, while the black rubber strap adds a sporty, contemporary edge. At 20 mm wide, it delivers optimal wrist comfort whatever the activity. The clasp on the last two options is a pin buckle.

Water Resistance

For water resistance, this watch is built to withstand up to 10 ATM. That's a solid guarantee of toughness, letting you keep it on your wrist during light nautical activities like swimming or recreational sailing. While not designed for professional diving, this rating provides reliable protection against splashes and accidental immersion.
