Nivada Grenchen is renowned for their impeccable vintage reissues, exemplified by the Chronomaster Broad Arrow Manual. This timepiece revives the classic 'N Logo' model with contemporary enhancements. The case, although appearing straightforward, reveals intricate details in person, featuring elegantly curved lugs and a polished chamfer that catches light beautifully.
Despite its 13.75mm thickness, the watch wears comfortably due to its slender profile, with most bulk concentrated in the screw-down caseback and domed sapphire crystal. With a diameter of 38.3mm and a lug-to-lug length of 46.5mm, it offers surprising versatility. The bi-directional bezel allows for ample dial space and smooth rotation. Although water-resistant up to 100m, its screw-down crown ensures security during aquatic activities. Retaining the charm of its 1963 predecessor, this model sports the iconic broad arrow and dauphine hands, the tachymeter and GMT tracking functionality add extra practicality.
The vintage-inspired silver and cream on black color scheme evokes a genuine relic, while strap options include leather, rubber, and various bracelet styles. Powering the watch is the Sellita calibre SW510 M BH B, providing a manual wind chronograph movement with a 63-hour power reserve. Despite its thickness, the watch maintains operational efficiency. The Nivada Grenchen Broad Arrow is a perfect example of a GADA Watch (go anywhere, do anything)
