Men's Nivada Grenchen watches Antarctic collection

Our Super Antarctic collection is a not very distant cousin of the original Nivada Antarctic collection launched in 1950. The original was famous when it was used by Task Force Deep Freeze 1 Navy during its expeditions at the South Pole (1955 -56). It has been recorded that it is sufficiently reliable and robust to work in the most extreme conditions. Today's Super Antarctic is an evolution of the original Antarctica, which is close to the lines and design of the 1950s. Like the original Antarctica, we added an international geophysical medallion from 1957 directly to the back of all of our modern super -farctica.

"These are watches that went to Antarctica in the US Navy Operation Deepfreeze. They were repeatedly immersed in ice waters, hit the ice and immersed in deep snow ... Yet they retained permanent accuracy wherever people and machines got. Waterproof - winding , the impact and antimagnetic Nivada Antarctic can withstand any wear you give it ... anywhere. "
Admiral Richard Byrd and his US Navy team were given Nivada Antarctica to accompany them to the Deep Freez Operation Expedition to the South Pole in 1955/1956, making it the first watch that went to Antarctica. The size of the large dimension that has earned this model a place in the history of horology! Although until recently, before its revival, it was the most dependent expedition watch ever.

Operation Deep Freeze is a code name for a series of missions of the United States to Antarctica, starting with "Deep Freez I" operations in 1955-56, followed by "Operation Deep Freeze", "Operation Deep Freeze III" etc. The name was proposed by Admiral Richard Bryde. . The main stimulus for Deep Freeze 1 was the International Geophysical Year (Igy), 1957-58. IYG was a collective effort among 40 nations to carry out various scientific studies from the North Pole to the South Pole and in the places between them. The United States, along with New Zealand, France, the United Kingdom, Japan, Norway, Chile, Argentina and the US, agreed to go to the South Pole, the least explored and remote area on Earth. Their main goal was to acquire and study knowledge of Antarctic hydrography and weather systems, movements of glaciers and marine life. The US Navy was accused of supporting American scientists for their part of IGY studies. Richard E. Byrd, a veteran of four previous Antarctic expeditions, was appointed an expedition officer. In 1955, Task Force 43 was established under the command of the contradmiral George J. Dufek, which provided the expedition logistics support. Operation Deep Freeze, which took place from November 1955 to April 1956, has established a permanent research station and prepared a way for larger research in later operations.

In November 2021, Nivada Grenchen launched a modern new edition of Super Antarctica. When one of the fans published an ancient Super Antarctica on Instagram, Guillaume shared a post as a story on the official Instagram account Nivada Grenchen and fans crazy. Requirements for the release of the model began to be packed. Nivada adhered to the fans' demand and soon the Super Antarctic was launched.
Its black dial is simple but striking. Under the name Nivada is the word aquamatic, (waterproof + automatic). Above 6 is the signature of Super Antarctic with 25 Rubis printed below. Its most striking aesthetic element is the sword and lollipop, minute and hour hand. The back of the case is decorated with their signature gold medallion. 38mm case with screw crown is conveniently worn on the wrist.
