· ·Sunburst dial fan@wagudc posted these photos of the new 35mm Antarctic re-issue on another thread and I’m besotted. Apart from the white dial there’s a cream/ivory dial which also looks fab.
These are 7mm deep which, like the 35mm diameter is pretty slim for a new watch, at a time when Omega, Longines and other manufacturers seem to be set on bigger, deeper and wider watches.
The price, approximately €800 also seems competitive and a significant fraction of what other new/newer re-issues cost.
The absence of a date window is a bonus giving, in my opinion, a 'cleaner' watch face.
The one concern I have is that these are hand winding movements and I generally prefer an automatic but still … .
So, I know nothing about Nivadas and have never owned one.
Are they any good and am I the only one who’s fallen?
