Nivada Grenchen has introduced the new MINI series within its Antarctic collection, redefining its classics with a focus on vintage dimensions and authenticity. The standout model, the Antarctic Spider, has been resized to a refined 35mm diameter and joins the permanent lineup. This shift reflects a broader trend in the watch industry where smaller, more elegant watch sizes are making a comeback. The Antarctic Spider’s dial is protected by a nearly diamond-hard double-domed sapphire crystal and is water-resistant up to 50 meters. The watch features a polished and brushed silver stainless steel case, measuring 11.1mm in thickness. The dial, available in silver or black for now, features eight spider-leg-like lines converging at the center, symbolizing its namesake. Eight vertically applied indexes on a sunray silver or black dial enhance its unique design. Powered by the manually wound Landeron 21 caliber, the watch features a slim 7mm case thickness (10.1mm including the crystal).
