What do the US Navy, an Omega Constellation in the Godfather movies, a Rolex Explorer, John Carpenter's The Thing, the Seiko Alpinist, and some of the most iconic watches of all time have in common? Today we find out, with a look at a 2023 reissue of one of the most elegant field watches I've ever experienced. In this video, I review the Nivada Grenchen Antarctic 35mm, a modern interpretation of a design first launched in the early 1950s. I analyze its specifications, design evolution, and deep history, along with its positives and negatives, to find out why so many people have made mistakes in understanding this watch, and why it is the most underrated, Swiss made, do it all alternative to its more famous rivals from Seiko and Rolex. What do you think of the watches in this video? Please share in the comments.

I just picked up the Seiko SJE085 1959 Alpinist reissue (the one with the bund strap), but the Nivada Grenchen Super Antarctic with the four triangular indices and the black dial/white lume was a VERY close second. As I got the new-in-box 1959 Alpinist for almost half its MSRP, it was an offer I couldn't refuse; even outside of the fact it's a watch that had been on my radar for since it came out two years ago, only being held back by the $2900 price tag. Circumstances just happened to align and it was meant to be. Zero regrets. Even so, I will eventually own a Nivada Grenchen one day. I love what they're doing in the industry and find their designs far more interesting than the usual fare the bigger Swiss brands put out these days.

@AvaMRodriguez Месяц назад

Great video T, love the added infographics. Your dictation, photography, horological knowledge Is all class. I think your style would be great for a long-form documentary-style one off. Perhaps a deep dive that encompasses the history of whatever you felt like making, within It’s entirely. You could be a great educator and I can’t wait to see what you work on next. I trust your artistic vision wholly. I really enjoyed the shift In music and energy between sections, It gives breathing room for those more intense sections, creating a nice sense of flow. The storytelling alone Is enough to interest me. You could talk about the production of textiles and I’d be interested. But, there Is something to keeping videos succinct and tight, so that kind of project would take an exponentially greater amount of time, so you have to consider the cost of your time greatly. On a side note: I’m saving up money for my grail, a Casio Oceanus T200. It’s the perfect meld between modernity In It’s functionality, while still being handcrafted In Yamagata using their own Zaratsu technique. I couldn’t be more excited, I’m loving my new job, and I’m going back to school this year to learn ASL, Spanish, and Sicilian Italian. Tanto amore a tutti voi! Cheers and love to my fellow gentry.

@eurovnik 24 дня назад

Superb as always - top notch narration and B roll. To say nothing of the editing! I have a 70s Nivada Antarctic Sea 200m dive watch which I love. Green sunburst dial, tritium lume that's turned terracotta and the very fun penguin on the caseback. It was only $225 and is a doddle to service as it's powered by an ETA 2472. That sort of vintage value makes it hard to consider the new releases. One other thought - I'd say the Alpinist is a classic 90s watch with retro styling as the 50s original was only in production for a short time and was aesthetically quite different - not green and no cathedral hands. Likewise the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date, a consciously retro, anti-quartz watch launched in the early 80s.

@spookmineer Месяц назад

The indices remind me of the arrowhead ones from the 50's and 60's Omega's (not sure if they were commonly used by other brands in that time - and I now see you addressed this in the vid) they look so, so good. The fatter, larger indices work so well, and in current watches they don't appear too often which is a pity. I've been checking some vintage watches but I'm not there yet. This looks like an alternative with a bit more security. The indices look "gold" but they aren't (eggshell doesn't have those). Dauphine hands too, my gosh. So... Constellation with arrow heads, pie pan, dog legs, not knowing what I'm getting myself into... Or... the same vibe with current tech and QC. This is hard. Oh! They do have stainless steel case with gold indices, black dial though. Looks very nice..... But like you said, white or eggshell seems to be more appropriate.

Your cross-wipe from the lume shot to daylight - chef's kiss! 1982 version of 'The Thing' is the best, hands down. But I still appreciate the 1951 version and even the 2011 version. The 1951 by Hawks and Nyby holds up better overall, but I'm able to look past the failings of the 2011 version and appreciate it as a lead-in to the 1982 masterwork. I re-watch each of them ever October and the 1982 version keeps serving up new details to obsess over. Who was the first to be infected? Who's infected at the end? Why do these details still nag at me? Great review as always! Beautiful watch.

@richardpeters4086 Месяц назад

I agree. It's not just a SciFi/Horror, it's also a mystery thriller. I think there was a directors cut, which explained more about the Norweigen team, but I might be imagining it ?

There's no "2011" version. It's not a remake. It's a different story, a prequel.

@brentjablonski3730 25 дней назад

@@AxLWake All three movies are based on "Who Goes There" by John W. Campbell, Jr. They share the same/similar titles as well. Also, all three share simiar settings and key plot elements. So referring to them as different versions of the same story feels warranted to me. I do recognize that the 2011 version of the story serves as a lead in to the 1982 version. You could make a case for 2011 being Part 0 & 1982 being Part 1 - together they cover the discovery of the Thing and its final(?) destruction. The 1951 version is perhaps the odd man out, as it omits the biological duplication that was a central element in "Who Goes There".

Hello Ciao Tristano nice information and review of Nivada I do like the winding crown a bit to little for big hands. Nice information, stay well to the next Saluti da Roma Italy Ciao.

The eggshell dial with white luminova is very tempting; maybe on a beads of rice bracelet, to get around the spring bar issue.

Nice vintage vibe. But I agree - it's a wee bit small for modern sensibilities.

I have my same Lorier Safari on a Bond NATO strap as well right now 18:38. It’s become my everyday watch.

i love that watch and am excited they have been received well. i feel the ONLY real negative @ its price point is the water resistance. keep up the good work, regards to Hugo!

"Art deco" is much abused term this days, especialy from people who have no clue about art. Like Bauhaus etc. Thank you Sir, you've mastered this things...
