Case and bracelet shows light wear. Dial and handset show light patina throughout.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCroton, Nivada, or Nivada Grenchen: by whatever name they go by, these watches were meant to handle anything. No model of Nivada's typifies this more than the Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver. Not only is it a chronograph (a chrono\u003cem\u003emaster, \u003c\/em\u003eeven), it can be used at sea and in the air. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNivada (called Croton in the U.S. due to a copyright dispute with Movado) introduced the Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver in 1963 and produced it until 1978.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt came in many different variants throughout its fifteen-year run. The most common iteration has two chronograph registers at 3 and 9 o'clock, and later versions had the addition of a date window. Nivada used broad arrow hands during the 1960s before transitioning to baton hands in the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lovely Chronoking, being a product of the 1970s, bears the baton hands that typify the later models. This three register piece comes in a very classic for the era cushion case style. The bezel--- looking round at first glance, is in fact quite angular, adding a dimension against the smooth curve of the case. The dial is executed in red, white, blue and black, and is decorated with an outer tachometer scale. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn uncommonly-seen variant of a type of chronograph that's getting quite a bit of traction recently; to find one in this condition is rare indeed. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat we have here is a versatile timepiece, at home in any environment and packed with design cues right out of the golden era of tool chronograph production.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nivada Grenchen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49312536658164,"sku":"40992515","price":4250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/8570\/2900\/files\/AS10907_40992515_NIVADA_CHRONOKING-1.jpg?v=1788456716","url":"https:\/\/www.watchesofswitzerland.com\/en-int\/products\/nivada-chronoking-as10907","provider":"Watches of Switzerland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
