The Watch

Nivada Grenchen is a Swiss watchmaking brand celebrated for its precise movements and timeless, innovative designs. Crafting high-precision mechanical watches with Swiss-made quality, the brand is built to accompany you on your greatest adventures. Through its expertise and creativity, it delivers timepieces that marry traditional watchmaking craftsmanship with cutting-edge modern mechanics - all built from robust materials for lasting durability. Today, the brand invites you to discover the Antarctic Spider Black 35mm 35011 watch. Inspired by a variant the brand produced in the 1970s, it features a round case in 316L stainless steel measuring 35 mm in diameter, 41.80 mm in length, and 10.10 mm in thickness - ideal proportions for all wrists. Brushed and polished, it is fitted with a gray knurled crown for a secure grip, screwed down at 3 o'clock to control the central functions. A double-dome sapphire crystal protects the dial from shocks, while a screw-down caseback ensures 5 ATM water resistance. The caseback is engraved with key details and features a gold medallion with a raised penguin and the brand name.

The Dial

This dial is bold, original, and inspired by the 1950s - instantly captivating. Built for reliable daily timekeeping, it takes a round shape with a black base featuring lines that radiate from the center like a spider's web, meeting applied indexes styled as spider legs to mark the hours. At this intersection, three silver hands are positioned. The slim seconds hand tracks the seconds, the long hand marks the minutes, and the short hand the hours. The latter two are dauphine-style and coated with a Super-LumiNova 148C treatment for enhanced readability in low-light conditions - also applied to the dot indexes. A date window covered by a cyclops lens appears at 3 o'clock for added functionality, while the brand name and collection name are displayed opposite. Finally, at 6 o'clock, the Swiss Made label - a symbol of authenticity and reliability - serves as the brand's signature.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch beats a mechanical movement of Swiss origin. Specifically, the Landeron 21 caliber - vibration-resistant and engineered for precision across all functions. This mechanism oscillates at a frequency of 28,800 alternations per hour with 18 jewels to reduce friction. It delivers a power reserve of 36 hours.

The Strap

This watch comes with three straps to choose from via the dropdown menu. They are easily interchangeable, each featuring a lug width of 18 mm and a buckle width of 16 mm.

The first strap is crafted from 316L stainless steel with a rice-grain finish. Brushed and polished, its links will adorn your wrist beautifully. Sturdy and secure for comfortable everyday wear, its silver tone pairs with any accessory, while the deployant clasp makes it effortless to put on and take off.

This second strap is crafted from tropic rubber, giving it excellent durability. It's designed for any activity and delivers all-day comfort. It conforms effortlessly to the wrist, and its pin buckle allows easy, customized adjustment. It also features a handsome black tone that pairs with any outfit.

The third strap is crafted from black rally bovine leather. Supple and comfortable, it features tone-on-tone stitching and perforations that let your wrist breathe. It adds a refined touch to any look and pairs seamlessly with your style. A pin buckle makes it easy to adjust to your perfect fit.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 50 meters - or 5 ATM in standard watchmaking terms - this timepiece can handle splashes but isn't built for prolonged water exposure. A quick shower? Fine. But to preserve the precision and longevity of the movement, our watch experts strongly recommend keeping it away from baths, pools, and the sea. No swimming, no diving, no extended contact with water.
