ABOUT NIVADA GRENCHEN

Nivada Grenchen was founded in 1926 in Grenchen, Switzerland, and quickly became known for purpose-built watches designed around function, reliability, and everyday use. Over the years, the brand produced now-iconic models such as the Antarctic, Depthmaster, Depthomatic, and Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver. After fading during the quartz crisis, Nivada Grenchen returned with a renewed focus on the heritage designs that made it a favourite among collectors in the first place. Today, it stands as a name that continues to resonate with enthusiasts who appreciate vintage character, honest design, and true tool-watch spirit.

The Return of a Legend

A faithful re-edition of the bold and bizarre 1970s Antarctic Spider, eccentric, graphic, and unmistakably original.

The Spider dial fuses geometric elegance

A bold and graphic masterpiece, the Antarctic Spider features 8 spider-leg-like lines converging at the center of black sunray dial. Eight vertically applied indexes anchor the design, all protected beneath a double-domed sapphire crystal. This daring and quirky sector-style dial with Art Deco flair turns heads while staying true to its original 1970s roots.

Reborn From the Archives

This model was reissued after a fan shared pictures of his vintage Antarctic Spider through Instagram. The original’s offbeat charm, distinctive case, and graphic dial instantly sparked the decision to bring it back. A tribute to the creativity of the 70s, modernized with care.

What Makes the Antarctic Spider Unique

Refined Case, Retro Soul

Sharing its case with the Super Antarctic, the watch boasts a 38mm polished and brushed stainless steel body. It's compact, wearable, and true to the dimensions of the past, yet houses a modern sapphire crystal and 50m water resistance. At its heart beats the SOPROD P024.
