Super Antarctic
A faithful reissue born from the Nivada community, the Super Antarctic 3.6.9 revives a vintage icon with modern upgrades. Featuring a 38mm stainless steel case, sapphire crystal, Soprod P024 automatic movement, and 10 ATM water resistance, it keeps the spirit of the original alive with aged-effect dial and hands, tropical or matte black options, and the signature gold medallion on the caseback.
3.6.9 Tropical Dial 38mm
This Super 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 Super Antarctic 3.6.9 is a faithful reedition of the vintage one with two options, a matte black dial or a tropical dial, and a Swiss Super luminova, and for more authenticity, we have added an aging effect to the dial and hand. Diameter is contained to 38mm and lugs to lugs to 45mm with a great thickness of 12mm. You will notice the legendary gold medallion on the caseback.
