Achieving Nivada

Post by WPybus »

Thought I’d start a little thread devoted to Nivada watches, both vintage and the new releases!!
[mention]balcorn80[/mention] has a few beauties and I’m sure there are a few others lurking on here!!
Show off your Nivada watches, discuss the 1957 geophysical year, learn more about the Nivada brand, reach Nivada englightenment etc

There is a lot written on the internet so I’m not going to copy and paste other peoples work but a couple of websites I like are:

https://chronopedia.club/Nivada top site run by a really nice bloke, also on Instagram!

https://www.vintagenivada.com Site devoted to the vintage Nivadas

https://nivadagrenchenofficial.com/ The rebirth website and yes I’ve ordered an Antarctic with the champagne dial...

So I’ll get this started with a couple of piccies

No Nivada to contribute but just want to say 1) great idea for a thread; 2) it took me a wee while to get the title haha

Well apart from the legend [mention]pdsf[/mention] who has posted here inspite of not being near Nivada this thread isn’t doing a lot... I will persevere however!

Uk eBay has now seen what I think is a high point for a used Nivada Antarctic: (I was not the seller!) edit: I definitely wasn’t the buyer either!

Now that is a lot of money, considering I paid about £40 for my similar watch a couple of years ago, I’m almost tempted to sell the collection

There will be a new version of this available this summer from NivadaGrenchen, will be interesting to see how popular it proves to be, I like the style personally!

Might be worth casting an eye over for someone in the USA, not alot of information and not the best photos... sometimes there is a gem hidden... and sometimes there is not!!

The caseback shows 10 ATM, but also a prototype. So they could get it to 20, as it'll come with a screw down crown.

After what appears to be a successful launch of another modern version of an old Nivada I’m wondering which one they will do next,

There is the manual diver from the 1960’s the aquamar
