Speerwijzers en cijfers met lichtgevend materiaal. 30 minuten chronoteller met een rood begin op de drie. ** Many thanks to Steve Gillman for letting me feature his watch on the blog. Ondertekend NIVADA GRENCHEN (wit) onder de 12. The watch on the bottom left is one of the first models from the early 1960’s, distinguishable by its broad-arrow style hands. Very similar in style and still powered by a Valjoux cal. The watch at the top of the picture is a Nivada Chronoking, which is rarer than the Chronomaster. While this watch was in for repair, I also had two other Nivada chronographs to service, which gave me a rare chance to take this group shot. Here is the watch after the service and cosmetic work, and fitting a new crystal. The hands were in poor shape though and needed to be completely repainted and re-lumed. These parts would have been hard to find, particularly the correct hands, but thankfully they were included in a zip-loc bag along with the watch. Obviously the watch was missing some parts, namely the crown and stem and the main hands. The movement was in good cosmetic shape and needed little more than a service. The movement inside the watch this time was one of the best found in Chronomasters, a Valjoux cal. I won’t miss another chance to include a link to this excellent post on the website Inventit Et Fecit too, which gives a comprehensive history on the model. The Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster is one of my favourite watches and I’ve written a couple of posts about them in the past, this one containing information about the company and the various Chronomaster models.
