Nivada Grenchen White Pacman Depthmaster 39mm Mens Watch Black

Ref. 14102A20

The original Depthomatic of 1964 was the first diver watch to carry a built-in depth gauge — a significant enough claim that Nivada Grenchen built the modern Depthmaster directly from that lineage when the brand returned in 2018. The "Pacman" name follows naturally from the dial: rather than conventional indices, large Art Deco numerals fill the matte black surface, their geometry somewhere between bold graphic design and mid-century instrument dial. On this White variant they are packed with crisp white Super-LumiNova, with an orange seconds hand as the single deviation from the monochrome palette — a combination that reads with unusual immediacy in low light. At 39mm with a 47mm lug-to-lug, the case runs a little longer than its diameter suggests, so it will occupy more wrist than the case size alone implies; the mixed polished and brushed finishing keeps that presence from feeling heavy. The double-domed sapphire gives the dial a pleasingly vintage profile, and 1,000 metres of water resistance backed by both a screw-down crown and an automatic helium escape valve makes this a functional tool watch rather than a diver's aesthetic exercise. The Soprod P024 inside is a reliable Swiss automatic with a stop-seconds device, which matters on a watch whose legibility is one of its central arguments.
