Price range £485 to £2,110 across 40 Nivada Grenchen watches in stock.Nivada Grenchen revived the Chronomaster as a close reading of the brand's 1960s chronograph work, and this reference lands near the heart of that project. The Landeron 70 that drives it is a column-wheel manual-wind calibre from the same era the watch is drawing on — not a period movement dropped in for atmosphere, but one that was genuinely used in sport chronographs of the time, and here it ticks beneath a caseback worth opening. What distinguishes this particular configuration is the five-bezel kit: aluminium inserts in black, red, green, blue, and a black-and-red "Coke" arrangement, each swapping out by hand without tools. On a white dial, each changes the character of the watch meaningfully rather than superficially. The double-domed sapphire sits proud of the case in a way that reads as period-correct at a glance, and at 38mm the case is honest vintage sizing — centred on the wrist rather than filling it.

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.
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.
