Stepping up in Nivada Grenchen's range
The Antarctic Spider is Nivada Grenchen's riff on their 1970s sport watches, stripped back to time-only and given a dial that does most of the talking. Eight vertical baton markers radiate outward like spider legs across a salmon ground — a sector layout with genuine period character rather than a straight revival of something already familiar. The salmon reads warmly in natural light and shifts noticeably under artificial light, which keeps the dial from being a static thing. At 38mm and 11.1mm deep, this sits closer to the wrist than almost anything rated to 100 metres, and a screw-down crown adds confidence without making daily winding an event. The Soprod P024 running inside is a Swiss automatic beating at 28,800vph with a roughly 38-hour reserve — honest spec for a watch that wears this quietly. The leather strap is the right starting point for the dial colour, though the case is designed to take Nivada's own steel options if the mood shifts.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Yes. At 100m it is rated for swimming and snorkelling, though not for diving.
Will the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Does it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
How long does it run for when it's not worn?
About 38 hours fully wound — so it will usually stop if you leave it off overnight.
What size strap does it take?
20mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's, though at 38mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
Cheapest place to buy
Goldsmiths is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
Who are Goldsmiths?
