The Super Antarctic Black & Orange is a 38 mm Swiss automatic watch with a black dial, vivid orange accents and yellow applied indexes with Super-LumiNova. It is a continuation of a rare 1970s Super Antarctic reference, one of the boldest designs of the line, presented by the brand as a limited edition.

The story began at Cenic, a historic watch repair shop in Grenchen, where Guillaume Laidet found an original Antarctic Black & Orange among vintage pieces. The colour combination stood out at once; he acquired the watch and used it as the model for this edition. Nivada Grenchen's own story starts in the same town: 1926, Grenchen.

Faithful to the original proportions, the 316L stainless steel case measures 38 mm, 12 mm thick and 45 mm lug to lug, with shiny and brushed surfaces, a signed screw-down crown and a closed steel caseback set with a gold medallion. A double-domed sapphire crystal and 10 ATM water resistance suit daily wear. The Soprod P024 automatic movement runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a 38-hour power reserve, with or without date. See the other Super Antarctic watches, including the Super Antarctic 3.6.9 Black.

The story

The Super Antarctic is the modern evolution of Nivada's 1950s expedition watch, which the brand ties to the U.S. Navy's Operation Deep Freeze of 1955–56. It keeps the vintage-faithful 38 mm proportions and adds a screw-down crown and 100 m of water resistance for everyday wear.

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.
