Hello everyone. Up for sale is my vintage Nivada Grenchen Antarctic with one of the rarest dial, in production, period. I have long been a fan of the brand, owned a few, and have only seen one other…and even that was not in person. The main photo is of my watch when sent in for service next to a recovered “spare” dial… My watchmaker was astonished we had the same dial in the same room and took the lovely photo and shared it with me. The watch was sent to him in 2020 for a tune-up and new crystal (not a complete overhaul). If you are a watch nerd like me, please dive into the history of Nivada Grenchen Antarctic line, specifically Google around the **“International Geophysicial year of 1957/58”** YEAR: 1960’s MODEL: Antarctic DIAL: Original RARE AF dial; purplish-pinkish-blue in color, resembles a meteorite dial CASE: 35mm (w/o crown), unpolished stainless steel case CASEBACK: Marked with the serial number and the words “Waterproof Shock Restistant Stainless Steel Self Winding” CRYSTAL: Replaced in 2020 - no, I dont have the original MOVEMENT: A. Schild 1673 STRAP: Knock-off Tropic “In the 1950s, the Antarctic models became Nivada’s recognisable timekeeper following their use by Admiral Byrd in Operation Deep Freeze, part of the 1957/58 International Geophysical Year. Autowinding and waterproof, with antimagnetic properties, the Antarctic exemplifies the 1950s ‘global explorer’ sentiment that permeated the post-war years and saw a rush of human endeavours across the planet. The slim design was paired with fine Art Deco applied numerals and subtly textured dials to create a rugged but stylish watch that would last a lifetime.” Quote from: [https://www.vintagenivada.com/naming](https://www.vintagenivada.com/naming) Here is some great info on the Antarctic.
