Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster Valjoux 236 Broad Arrow
Authorized Nivada Grenchen retailer
What makes this Chronomaster edition so special? It’s the engine within: the fully restored Valjoux 236 VZ, one of the most iconic chronograph movements in watchmaking history. Produced from 1916 to 1974, this column-wheel caliber is a mechanical legend prized for its precision, beauty, and the dual push-button design introduced by Willy Breitling.
Encased in 38mm of 316L stainless steel and topped with a double-domed sapphire crystal, this Broad Arrow edition channels the golden age of racing chronographs. Its matte black dial is paired with warm vintage lume and bold arrow hands, while the brown racing strap underscores its motorsport heritage.
Each watch is built around a new old-stock Valjoux 236, fully reconditioned and tested to modern standards. The result: a timepiece that feels like a vintage chronograph, but wears like it just left the workshop.
Limited to 25 numbered pieces worldwide.
The story
The 1961 Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver put a tachymeter, a rotating diving bezel and a regatta timer on one chronograph, a single watch for the air and the sea. Nivada reissues it faithfully, with the panda, tropical and broad-arrow dials collectors know from the original.
Nivada Grenchen was founded in Grenchen, Switzerland, in 1926 and relaunched in 2018 by Guillaume Laidet and Rémi Chabrat. Every model is a reissue from the brand's own archives, not a homage.
