- In this week's episode of “Under The Radar” Tyler dives into the Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver range of watches with two unique examples and discusses why they make collectible timepieces worth keeping an eye on. The Chronomaster range of watches from Nivada Grenchen and Croton were produced in a time when adventures and exploration were at the forefront of what was happening in the world and within the pop culture of the 1960s. Within the expansive world of vintage timepieces, there is no uncertainty that vintage tool watches hold a particular position within the minds of numerous collectors. The 1960s and 1970s were what we now know as the golden era of sports watch design where the form of a watch needed to meet its intended function to support the adventures that the watch was created for.

I am old enough to have been around in the sixties/ seventies during the quartz revolution so can add a bit to the back story of brand naming in the Swiss watch industry. First, you have to remember that back then watches were still first and foremost a practical thing so when quartz came along there was little romance for the old mechanical watches. People raved about quartz, at long last incredible accuracy with little to no maintenance and far more robust and less delicate than a mechanical watch! So nearly all the Swiss mainstream manufactures to save money mixed and matched components from the various suppliers to make their own watch. This is how they tried to survive! I have an unknown brand now, Heli Raymond EPSA super compressor dive watch. The case, dial and hands can be found with at least ten different brand names stamped upon them!
This was common practice back then but it still was not enough for many to survive! So if one knows this you can save a small fortune on buying a vintage watch simply buy choosing a forgotten name over a watch with a name still going stamped on what otherwise is an identical watch!
It’s very much akin to what the various micro brands do today in that they go to China and have a company show them a selection of styles and parts who then, for a minimum quantity will stamp that micro brands name on the dial, the Swiss did this over half a century ago! Hence brands like you have shown for the US or the likes of Accurist, Avia and Rotary in the U.K.
Thank you for your insight. So basically Nivada Grenchen was/is a Swiss microbrand. Really like the design though.
The reissues are so damn nice too.
Nice - Can't wait to see what is next!
