Dive into the nostalgia of the disco era with the Nivada Grenchen Salmon Dial Chronoking Mecaquartz. This timepiece beautifully marries the vibrant spirit of the 1970s with modern watchmaking technology. This stylish reissue captures the essence of the original Chronomaster, known for its distinctive “Paul Newman”-style sub-dials housed in a tonneau case. With its eye-catching salmon sunray dial highlighted by tan sub-dials and art deco-style typography, the Chronoking is a testament to the era’s bold aesthetic and Nivada Grenchen’s commitment to quality and style.
The Chronoking isn’t just about looks; it’s powered by the robust TMI VK63A mecaquartz movement, which blends the accuracy of quartz with the tactile satisfaction of a mechanical chronograph. This hybrid setup ensures that the chronograph hand sweeps smoothly across the dial, mimicking the beloved mechanics of traditional watches while offering quartz’s reliability and three-year freedom from winding.
Constructed with a 316L stainless steel case and a double-domed sapphire glass, this watch is designed to withstand the rigors of daily wear while maintaining a classic elegance. Water-resistant up to 10 ATM and priced at $479, the Nivada Chronoking is a perfect blend of retro charm and contemporary precision, making it an essential addition to any watch enthusiast’s collection. The ordering window will remain open for three weeks only, ending on July 4. Meanwhile, shipments are expected to begin in September.
