The Antarctic 35 mm Eggshell White Luminova pays homage to the very first Antarctic watches worn by explorers during the U.S. Navy’s Operation Deep Freeze in 1955–56. Faithful to the original design, it features a 35 mm 316L stainless-steel case, hand-wound mechanical movement, and an eggshell-white dial with luminous arrowhead indexes. This smaller case size recreates the true vintage proportions of mid-century Swiss watches while ensuring everyday comfort. The Art Deco-inspired dial layout, domed sapphire crystal, and engraved “Penguin” medallion caseback pay tribute to Nivada Grenchen’s Antarctic legacy. Compact, elegant, and historically faithful a refined icon for collectors who value authenticity and understated design.
About Nivada Grenchen

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.
