Since becoming interested in finding one of these little chronograph divers they seem to be drying up and becoming harder to find Muphys law?
I pulled the trigger on this yesterday it llooks to be in original and un-polished condition with a valjoux 23 column wheel movement, signed crown, dial and moment. Just not sure on the second hand (re-painted red). Any thoughts on them?
Any more of these or different versions on the forum?

I am chasing a Croton version

Hahaha! While the name is horrible it is a very cool looking watch!

 

here's mine... early version, signed crown, VJ92

 

Croton 1st execution Val 23



look for glassy smooth bevel on sub dials for 1st execution examples



original examples did not have a red second hand, AFAIK.

 

I think these are very nice watches. A good article for anyone interested in buying one.

Looks good - very purposeful.
Always looking for Nivada information for my blog: http://nivadanirvana.blogspot.co.uk/

 

Comparision

 

I love this Nivada // Croton chonoraphs ....

 

2 years ago easly to buy for 300usd...now 1000usd

 

Croton, Valjoux 92 movement.

 

Here's mine... I really like this version with the grey subdials.

 

That's a fine example Howard. Don't see many with the grey subdials, they do stand out. Dibs?

 

@grizzlycanuck show the nivadas

 

They are beautiful watches!Here's a photo of a few of mine ,missing one or two [emoji6]

Thank you! and noted!

 

Shit. I've sort of wanted one of these for a while now. Now I really want one. Those grey subdials...

 

I have this one, "CHRONOGRAPH" instead of Chronomaster and Venus 210 movement.

 

I have this rebranded Nivada I picked up from the forum. Wearing it today.

 

That's very cool. Haven't seen that version before.

Chronomaster ASD's are just cool old watches. Love how it is part Speedmaster, part Submariner, and people really used the heck out of them.
