Nivada Grenchen has redefined its classics with the new MINI series in the Antarctic collection, featuring the Super Antarctic, now elegantly resized to 35mm. As of 2024, watch diameters are trending smaller, and Nivada Grenchen’s answer to the ideal size is that of the original era. The brand emphasizes reissues that respect vintage dimensions and designs, maintaining unmatched authenticity. The 35mm size is making a strong comeback, appealing to both nostalgia buffs and neo-vintage enthusiasts. Powered by the manually wound Landeron 21 caliber, the Super Antarctic explores new possibilities in finesse with a 7mm case thickness (10.1mm including the crystal) and a 35mm diameter. Nivada Grenchen champions the understated and bold looks of smaller watches, countering the craze for larger sizes and prices and returning to an authentic size that fits all. The black dial is a true highlight. It features indexes filled with white or cream Super-LumiNova®, branded ‘Nivada Aquamatic’ below the 12 and ‘Super Antarctic 18 Rubis’ above the 6. The classic steel hands are filled with luminescence, and the iconic back is embossed with a stylized penguin on a gold medallion, just like the original piece. These stylistic elements collectively evoke the charm of the 1950s, combining a touch of retro chic with modern sophistication.
