Nivada Grenchen Chronoking & Chronomaster Featuring Interchangeable Bezels

How 1 Watch Turns Into 5! One watch, five styles: Nivada Grenchen unveils interchangeable bezel kits for the Chronomaster and Chronoking collections.

This fall, Nivada Grenchen introduces a game-changing accessory to match your watch with your mood and wardrobe.

Innovation: Nivada Grenchen reveals an unprecedented kit of bi-directional, tool-free, snap-on bezels. This revolutionary system is designed for ultra-easy use, allowing you to switch up your look instantly without the need for any tools.

Vision: This innovative system has been specially developed for the automatic and mecaquartz models: Chronomaster Broad Arrow, Chronomaster Paul Newman Panda, and Chronoking Mecaquartz. Additional models are currently under development.

Revitalized Heritage: The interchangeable bezel kit is actually a modern reimagining of a vintage idea from Nivada Grenchen. Back in the early 1960s (1962), the brand had already offered a similar bezel kit for the COLOROMA VI women’s collection.

Dials: Rediscover three iconic vintage dials - the Broad Arrow and Singer/Paul Newman Panda dials for the Chronomaster, and a newly reissued 1970s dial for the Chronoking Mecaquartz.

Personalization

Offering unmatched flexibility in personalization, these bezels allow users to effortlessly adapt their watch to different outfits or occasions. Simply swap out the bezel to instantly transform your watch’s style—a breeze to do!

Simplicity

One of the standout features of these interchangeable bezels is their simplicity of use. The system is designed for quick changes using only your fingers, without any tools, making personalization accessible to everyone. This ease of use democratizes the trend and encourages watch enthusiasts to dive into the art of horological customization.

Rigorous testing

The snap-on bezel kit from Nivada Grenchen has undergone rigorous testing and a meticulous approval phase. After several prototypes, the four-ball locking system has proven secure and reliable. Aluminum was chosen for its robustness, outperforming ceramic in terms of durability.

Chronomaster: EUR 1'770 / USD 1'975 / GBP 1'500 / CHF 1'670

All-New Vintage Dials

Chronoking Mecaquartz

The 1970s have never been hotter, with their vibrant colors, distinctive materials, and pop design. For this reissue, Nivada Grenchen drew inspiration from an iconic vintage dial from that decade. Postioned at 12 o'clock on the textured black dial is a unique stylized «N» monogram that immediately catches the eye. Three sub-dials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock indicate chronograph hours, small seconds, and chronograph minutes, respectively. These sub-dials, with their matte finish and embossed print, add a sophisticated depth to the dial. The embossed baton indices, printed in bright orange and accented with a touch of cream Super-LumiNova®, are simply stunning. The black textured dial background highlights the central chronograph hand, which also in orange, moves smoothly and elegantly.

Chronomaster Broad Arrow

The revival of the Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver (CASD) in 2019 played a crucial role in Nivada Grenchen’s resurgence. This iconic model helped the brand reclaim a prime spot in the watchmaking world. The CASD Broad Arrow is renowned for its emblematic dial, which dates back to the 1960s. The «broad arrow» hour hand, coated with egg-shell Super-LumiNova®, glides across the matte black dial. The luminescent egg-shell indices enhance readability and contribute to the watch’s vintage aesthetic while ensuring excellent visibility. These details make the CASD Broad Arrow a cherished timepiece among vintage watch enthusiasts and collectors, who regard it as a faithful reissue of a classic design with modern reliability.

Chronomaster Singer Paul Newman

The Singer Paul Newman dial for the Chronomaster collection is a noteworthy addition that echoes the legacy of vintage watches equipped with the Valjoux 23 movement. Traditionally reserved for this movement, this iconic dial makes its debut in the Chronomaster collection. The distinct fonts, inherited from the SINGER design, have been meticulously recreated for this reissue. With only 50 pieces initially produced, this dial, often associated with the classic Paul Newman aesthetic, sold out in a record 24 hours, confirming its highly coveted status among vintage watch aficionados.

The dial features a white or silver base with contrasting black sub-dials, creating the «Panda» effect. This color combination not only provides a striking visual impact but also ensures optimal readability. The black sub-dials house the chronograph functions, with a seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock and a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock. The dial retains the luminescent indices and hands, ensuring good visibility even in low-light conditions. The chronograph seconds hand is red, adding a dynamic touch of color to the classic design. The edge of the dial is adorned with a tachymeter scale, reinforcing the watch’s sporty and versatile nature.

Landeron Movement

Another new feature is that Nivada Grenchen’s Chronomaster models are now equipped with a Landeron movement, a nod to the brand’s history. Landeron, once a historic supplier of movements for Nivada, regains its rightful place in these new editions. This return to roots is highlighted by the integration of a sapphire case back, allowing wearers to admire the mechanism in action.
