Nivada Grenchen Antarctic GMT

Description

The Antarctic GMT is a tribute to Nivada Grenchen’s rich legacy of professional watchmaking. Originally introduced during the Jet Age, when frequent travelers required precise time-zone tracking, the Antarctic GMT has been reimagined for modern adventurers. This retro-styled masterpiece pays homage to its 1970s roots while offering the contemporary functionality of a Swiss-made SOPROD C125 movement.

The first thing you notice when strapping on the new Antarctic GMT is its presence. It is like a time capsule from the 60s-70s, yet fully in line with today’s aesthetic codes. With a 36mm diameter, a slim profile of 11.6mm, and a perfectly balanced weight, it’s the ideal companion for crossing time zones with style. In terms of design, the new Antarctic GMT is a faithful homage to the original. The iconic red-and-black GMT hand remains, but now features a Plexiglass insertion the internal bezel for tracking the second time zone. The matte black dial, contrasting with the amber-toned 24-hour bezel, immediately draws the eye, while the thick Plexiglass crystal enhances the watch’s retro appeal and avoids the distortions common with overly thick sapphire glass.
