Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster White Lollipop 38mm Mens Watch Black
Ref. 86011WM01
Sits in Nivada Grenchen’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Nivada Grenchen watches we list, which start at £485.
Price range £485 to £2,110 across 40 Nivada Grenchen watches in stock.The Chronomaster is Nivada Grenchen's central piece of history — a design that ran through aviation and diving contexts in the 1960s under the full name Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver, attempting to cover both disciplines in a single case. This revival holds closely to that original bi-compax layout, with the 30-minute counter sitting at three and the small seconds at nine, and takes its name from the thing most likely to catch your eye first: the slender red chronograph hand tipped with its circular lollipop counterweight, which sweeps a matte black dial otherwise kept deliberate and unshowy. At 38mm the watch sits at the smaller end of what the chronograph form usually tolerates, and 13.75mm of thickness is not especially slim — but the rubber Tropic strap keeps it close and flexible on the wrist in a way a bracelet would not, and the combination reads as a working tool rather than a dressed-up one. The SW510 M BH B runs at 28,800 vph with a 63-hour power reserve from the crown, which is enough to wind on Friday and not think about it again until Monday morning.

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 hand-wound, so it needs winding every day or two but never a battery.
How long does it run for when it's not worn?
About 63 hours fully wound — enough to survive a night off the wrist, but not a full weekend.
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?
