The Autochron Meca-Quartz by Nivada Grenchen is a chronograph powered by the VK67 meca-quartz movement, combining quartz precision with a smooth sweeping chronograph hand. It features a 38mm stainless steel case, rotating bezel, double-domed sapphire crystal, and 200m water resistance.
The Autochron Meca-Quartz by Nivada Grenchen delivers the precision of quartz with the tactile feel of a mechanical chronograph. Its textured black dial features Art Deco-inspired typography on sand coloured subdials, creating depth and a distinctive vintage character. Powered by the VK67 meca-quartz movement with a three-year battery life, the chronograph hand sweeps smoothly and resets like a mechanical watch. This hybrid movement combines quartz timekeeping with a mechanical chronograph module.
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.
