Nivada Grenchen Watch: Automatic Orange Autochron

Nivada Grenchen Autochron: automatic chronograph straight out of the 70s

The Nivada Grenchen Autochron orange automatic reinterprets a classic 1970s chronograph design in a modern, quirky format. The black dial with aged beige counters at 9 and 12 o'clock recalls the brand's vintage chronos. The orange peripheral minute track adds a colorful touch that makes all the difference.

The case of the Autochron Orange is machined from 316L stainless steel with alternating polished and brushed surfaces. Its 38 mm diameter, 46.5 mm lug-to-lug length, and proportions faithful to the original model allow it to suit a wide variety of wrists. The double-domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating effectively protects the dial while maintaining the aesthetic of vintage chronographs.

At the heart of the Nivada Grenchen Autochron Orange beats the famous ETA Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph caliber. A true benchmark in the world of Swiss chronographs, this movement offers hours, minutes, small seconds, chronograph, and date functions, as well as a 48-hour power reserve. Renowned for its robustness and ease of maintenance, it is one of the great classics of contemporary watchmaking.

Water-resistant to 200 meters, the Nivada Grenchen Autochron Orange is a true tool watch capable of accompanying its owner both in daily life and during sports activities. Available on a Flat Link steel bracelet or on leather or orange Tropic rubber, this Autochron Orange offers an excellent balance between historical heritage and modern versatility.
