The Watch

Nivada Grenchen is a Swiss watch brand with a watchmaking history dating back to 1879. Like all great Swiss brands, it is renowned for the quality of its models and the artisanal expertise that defines them. Every creation is the result of meticulous attention to detail and rigorous quality control. Nivada Grenchen watches stand out for their timeless yet classic design, seamlessly blending elegance and functionality - with collections spanning dive watches and more formal styles alike. The brand represents the perfect union of quality and timelessness, earning it a devoted following among enthusiasts worldwide. From the Chronosport collection comes this captivating watch - a jewelry piece from the 1970s reimagined for the modern gentleman. Its vintage touch makes it effortlessly wearable day-to-day with both dressed-up and classic outfits. The model features a silver-toned case whose brushed and polished finishing elevates its charm. It measures 38 mm in diameter, 15.70 mm thick, and 44.30 mm lug-to-lug - dimensions perfectly suited to a man's wrist. The case is crafted in 316L stainless steel and fitted with a black unidirectional bezel graduated from 0 to 60, along with a Super-LumiNova marker that lights up in the dark. Water-resistant to 20 ATM thanks to its screw-down caseback, this timepiece is a natural choice for diving enthusiasts. A domed sapphire crystal crowns the case, offering optimal protection against scratches and external impacts that could affect the dial's appearance. At 2, 3, and 4 o'clock, an engraved crown and two pushers allow smooth and intuitive adjustment of the watch's various functions.

The Dial

The dial on this model is black, enhancing its elegance and making the indicators easy to read. With a matte, textured surface, its design is elevated in the most refined way. The dial edge is bordered by a tachymeter scale and a minute track, followed by white indexes with beige round markers at the hour positions. These, along with the two hands that sweep past them, are coated with Super-LumiNova for excellent readability in low-light environments. The hands indicate the hours and minutes, while the slender seconds hand displays the chronograph seconds. At 3 o'clock you'll find a date window, and at 9 and 12 o'clock, two subdials showing the small seconds and 30-minute counter respectively. The brand name is displayed just below the 12 o'clock subdial.

The Movement

This timepiece is powered by a Swiss automatic movement - specifically the ETA Valjoux 7750 caliber, which ensures the precise operation of the hands, date window, and counters. Fitted with 25 jewels, this movement delivers a power reserve of 48 hours and beats at an oscillation frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour.

The Strap

This watch comes with three strap options - choose the one that suits you best from the dropdown menu.

The first is a black bovine leather strap with a perforated finish that lends a vintage look. Crafted with care and precision, it features tone-on-tone stitching and fastens effortlessly with a pin buckle.

The second is a black rubber strap that underscores the watch's sporty character. Its flexibility ensures all-day comfort and a secure fit thanks to its pin buckle.

The third strap, silver-toned and crafted in 316L stainless steel, will elevate your style no matter the outfit. This flat link bracelet features brushed and polished finishing that adds a distinctive touch to the design, and fastens easily with a deployment clasp.

Please note that the lug width is 20mm.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance of 20 atmospheres, or 200 meters - making it a capable companion for your deep-water aquatic activities. It's built for freediving, and you can even use high-pressure washers while wearing it without worry. Showering, bathing, lap swimming, and freediving are all fair game. That said, for scuba diving with tanks, we recommend a timepiece with a higher water-resistance rating. Also, avoid operating the crown while the watch is submerged, to preserve the integrity of the movement.
