A faithful re-edition of the legendary 1950s Antarctic “Spider Dial”, now with a 38mm case. Vintage charm meets modern proportions.
The Antarctic Spider Black 38mm revives one of Nivada Grenchen’s most distinctive mid-century designs, the famed “Spider Dial” first introduced in the 1950s. This edition preserves its geometric black dial and luminous markers while introducing a more contemporary 38mm case for perfect everyday wear. Self-winding, Swiss-made, and built in a 316L stainless steel with sapphire crystal, it blends timeless elegance with durable modern engineering. A true collector’s piece, for those who appreciate precision, proportion, and heritage.
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.
