    Brand: Nivada Grenchen..HEAD ONLY

    Model: Travelmaster Alarm World-Timer ref. 87004 (RARE); Swiss Made circa late 1960s

    Case: Solid stainless steel case with two-piece screw-down back is approximately 36mm across the bezel excluding the dual matching original unsigned winding crowns


    Movement: A. Schild cal. 1568 manual-winding movement (17 jewels) with functional mechanical alarm; date at 3 o'clock (quick-set button is non-functional); 18,000 BPH; Swiss Made

    Features: Original metallic grey sunburst dial with cool Nivada "shield" logo and beveled/polished hour markers; original handset including red-arrow alarm-indicator hand; date display at 3 o'clock; original black rotating world-time bezel with silver print displays current time in major world cities at a glance; Swiss mechanical alarm movement; solid stainless steel case.

    Condition: Mint original condition overall with only minor signs of wear consistent with age and light use; sharp solid stainless steel case appears to be unpolished with the original finishes throughout; fantastic two-piece screw-down caseback remains clearly legible with the original brushed finish in the center; original metallic grey sunburst dial with crisp printing throughout; all Tritium lume plots are present on the dial and have aged to an attractive yellow hue; original Tritium hands with matching lume; clean domed acrylic crystal.

    Other: This an incredibly rare opportunity to own a super cool and unique Nivada Travelmaster alarm watch - What a great name! In addition to a built-in mechanical alarm, it features a useful rotating bezel that allows the wearer to determine the current time in other major world cities at a quick glance. The 36mm steel case wears well on the wrist. In fact, this particular watch may even be a prototype given a variety of factors. Reference 87002 (for the silver dial variation) is present on the caseback and crossed over from the factory with a second reference number (87004) engraved below it. Nivada likely intended to put reference 87004 into production with a metallic grey dial, but we have yet to see another example in circulation. The base AS 1568 mechanical alarm movement is properly signed by Nivada, but is missing its quick-set date provision (another sign of this watch being a pre-production prototype). Although the quick-set date button is non-functional, the date otherwise rolls over as it should.

    My asking price is $1000 USD + shipping payment PayPal or Bank Wire.

    Very Best,

    JB
