Bright, bold, and built for today with vintage DNA.

The Super Antarctic – Yellow reissue takes classic adventurous style and amplifies it with a vibrant new colorway while keeping the rugged build you expect. Encased in 38 mm 316L stainless steel, finished in a mix of brushed and polished surfaces, this model fits comfortably on the wrist (lug-to-lug ≈ 45 mm, thickness ≈ 11.1-12 mm) and delivers presence without excess.

Beneath a double-domed sapphire crystal lies a vertical matte black dial, accented with gleaming silver indexes and creamy Super-LumiNova for superb legibility. The standout touch? A bold yellow highlight around the dial perimeter that gives personality and energy to this heritage reissue.

Inside is the Swiss automatic Soprod P024 movement, paired with a screw-down crown and rated 10 ATM / ~100 m water resistance — so you get both style and reliability. The caseback features the iconic gold medallion design, nodding to its vintage roots.

Choose your style: go with a leather strap (plain or white-stitched), a Tropic rubber, or one of the striking bracelet options (flat-link or beads-of-rice) to match your aesthetic.

Brand History:

Nivada Grenchen, established in 1926 in Grenchen, Switzerland, quickly became renowned for its rugged tool watches that pushed the boundaries of horological innovation. The brand solidified its reputation with the introduction of the Antarctic in 1950, the first waterproof automatic watch. This timepiece gained fame when it accompanied members of the U.S. Navy's Operation Deep Freeze I during their South Pole expedition from 1955 to 1956.

 

In 1961, Nivada Grenchen launched the Chronomaster, a versatile waterproof chronograph designed for aviators, divers, and sports enthusiasts. The company continued its innovative streak with the release of the Depthomatic in 1964, the first diver's watch featuring a depth indicator, followed by the Depthmaster in 1965, capable of withstanding pressures up to 1,000 meters.

After a period of dormancy, Nivada Grenchen experienced a rebirth in 2018, reintroducing two of its most iconic models—the Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver and the Antarctic—at the forefront of its revival. The relaunch paved the way for the brand’s enduring appeal among modern watch enthusiasts while honoring its storied heritage.
