Achieving Nivada
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

Re: Achieving Nivada
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

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!!

Re: Achieving Nivada
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.

Re: Achieving Nivada
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
