Antarctic Diver Green, a 38 mm green dial diver limited to 150 pieces
The Antarctic Diver Green is a 38 mm stainless steel dive watch with a green sunray dial, a black ceramic bezel and a Swiss Soprod P024 automatic movement, water resistant to 200 m. Nivada Grenchen released it in 2025 as a limited edition of 150 pieces, and it now has its place in the Retrospective of our limited editions.
The Antarctic Diver keeps the codes of a vintage dive watch: a compact steel case, a rotating timing bezel and a clean, legible dial. For this edition, the dial turns green. Its sunray brushed finish moves from light to deep green as it catches the light, giving a classic diver a fresh, bold look.
The details are layered. Large applied indexes in shiny silver, filled with enamel oil, sit next to thick printed Super-LumiNova markers for reading in the dark. The date version has a rounded applied date window; a no-date version was also made, for a fully symmetrical dial.
The bezel is black ceramic, with white SLC1 luminous markers and numerals. Ceramic resists scratches and keeps its colour, and the bezel turns in both directions to time a dive, or any other moment of the day.
A double-domed sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating covers the dial. The watch is water resistant to 20 ATM, or 200 m, so it is as ready for swimming and diving as it is for every day. In the dark, the hands, the indexes and the bezel markers all glow.

Inside is the Swiss Soprod P024, a self-winding movement with 25 jewels. It beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), which gives the central seconds hand its smooth sweep, and holds a power reserve of about 38 hours. The date version has a quick-set date.

Turn the bezel until the triangle at 12 o'clock lines up with the minute hand when you start, for example at the start of a dive. The minute hand then shows the elapsed minutes on the bezel scale. The ceramic bezel turns in both directions.
