The Launch of the Antarctic Diver Vintage Aquamar
Nivada Grenchen, a longtime Swiss watchmaker, has unveiled its newest timepiece, the
Antarctic Diver Vintage Aquamar, through the boutique watch store, H°M’S” WatchStore, operated by Beyondcool. This remarkable watch revives a long-lost vintage dial discovered by Guillaume Laidet, an influential figure in the brand’s revival project, who found it amidst the archives of the CENIC company. For decades, this dial lay dormant, but it has now been reimagined, presenting both historical fidelity and contemporary watchmaking innovation. This new release beautifully intertwines the past and the present, offering collectors and watch enthusiasts a unique piece that stands apart from mere reproductions.
A Dial Reflecting the Deep Sea
A standout feature of the Antarctic Diver Vintage Aquamar is its matte dial created with dark blue and gray hues reminiscent of the cold, serene sea. The understated finishing effectively conveys the vintage diver aesthetic, while the depth of color and texture changes with varying angles of light. The watchmakers employed white printed markers for the indices, complementing hands coated in a cream-colored superluminova. This subtle tone hints at age, bringing the essence of vintage tool watches into the modern era.

Compact Yet Robust Diver's Design
The case measures a contemporary-friendly 38mm, designed for optimal wearability. Crafted from 316L stainless steel, it boasts a black ceramic bezel embedded with luminescent material, striking an ideal balance between beauty and functionality. The timepiece incorporates a Swiss-made automatic movement, Soprod P024, featuring a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and a power reserve of approximately 38 hours. Its water resistance of 200M (20 atmospheres) along with a double-domed sapphire crystal featuring anti-reflective coating makes it suitable for both daily wear and active scenarios.
The case back highlights a charming penguin motif, a symbol of the Antarctic collection, along with a gold medallion that quietly narrates the brand's identity and the history of polar exploration. The Antarctic Diver Vintage Aquamar not only respects the spirit of tool watches bred in extreme conditions, but also revitalizes dimensions, visibility, and design sensibility for the contemporary audience.
