Nivada Grenchen Watch: Yellow Automatic Autochron

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

The Nivada Grenchen Yellow Autochron reinterprets a classic 1970s chronograph design in a modern and unconventional format. The black dial with aged beige subdials at 9 and 12 o'clock recalls the brand's vintage chronographs.

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

At the heart of the Nivada Grenchen Yellow Autochron beats the renowned ETA Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph caliber. A true benchmark in the world of Swiss chronographs, this movement offers hour, minute, small seconds, chronograph, and date displays, as well as a 48-hour power reserve. Known 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 Yellow Autochron 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 various leather or Tropic rubber straps, this Yellow Autochron offers an excellent balance between historical heritage and modern versatility.
