Our View
Nivada has developed a strong following amongst collectors, particularly as vintage enthusiasts have rediscovered the brand’s rich history and distinctive designs.
The Antarctic name originates from Operation Deep Freeze, the famous U.S. Navy Antarctic expeditions of the 1950s. Nivada used the Antarctic designation to highlight the durability and accuracy of its watches in extreme environments, helping establish the model’s reputation.
This example stands out thanks to its rare deep blue dial, cushion case and bakelite bezel. Combined with excellent timekeeping and strong originality, it represents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a vintage Nivada that is both collectible and highly wearable.
