My Nivada Aviator “Paul Newman Dial”

I have been in search for a long time of a watch that also used the Singer tri-color dial design used in the vintage Rolex Daytona “Paul Newman”. Finally, my dealer was able to find one for sale and I didn’t bother to haggle anymore, afraid that it get away from me.

Its a 60s Nivada Gretchen Aviator chronograph with a tri-color panda dial which is totally cool to look at. It is also very rare and finding one is an achievement in itself already.

There were a few watch companies then that used this Singer dial design but it turns out that not many were sold either. I guess fancy dials were not appreciated by watch buyers during that period unlike today. Another great addition to my watch collection.

Very nice. I ave a soft spot for colorful chronos, El Primero rainbow in colors and in Melon. Your Nivada might look great on a black leather Rally strap with red stitching...

I have changed it to a black rally strap already. Will post photo later.
