A bold reinterpretation of a rare 1970s model, the Antarctic Spider is unlike anything else in the world of vintage-inspired watchmaking. Its defining feature? A mesmerizing sunray silver-white dial, crisscrossed by eight “spider legs” radiating from vertically applied indexes – an eccentric, graphic design that instantly commands attention.
This Antarctic reissue also started on Instagram, following a post of one of our great followers who had the great idea to share his vintage timepiece with us. We shared it in the stories and got so many messages that we knew it was our mission to make it again with the same original spirit and guts. But with modern standards (Sapphire Glass) and Swiss automatic movement (Soprod P024) with screw-down crown offering a 10 ATM water resistance.
The Spider nickname is coming from this crazy sector dial with silver Sunray finish and cream Swiss Super luminova that looks like a spider’s web. Diameter is contained to 38mm and lugs to lugs to 45 mm with a great thickness of 11,1 mm. You will off course notice the date magnifier.
Founded in 1926 in Grenchen, Switzerland, Nivada Grenchen built its reputation on robust tool watches designed for adventure. The brand became particularly renowned in the 1950s and 1960s, producing versatile, purpose driven timepieces such as the Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver, the Antarctic, and the Depthmaster. These watches combined technical capability with distinctive mid century styling, earning a loyal following among pilots, divers, and explorers. After a period of dormancy, Nivada Grenchen was successfully revived, reintroducing faithful reissues that capture the spirit of its heritage while appealing to modern enthusiasts seeking vintage character with contemporary reliability.
