The Nivada Chronoking is a 38 mm chronograph drawn from Nivada Grenchen's 1970s racing chronographs. Vivid colours, recessed counters and swappable bezels give it a playful character, while the 316L stainless steel case with a screw-down caseback makes it an easy watch to wear every day.

The current Nivada Grenchen Chronoking line runs on the VK63 meca-quartz chronograph movement, behind double-domed sapphire.

Chronoking FAQ
How do the interchangeable bezels work?
The bezel changes by hand, without tools, so you can switch scales in seconds. The idea goes back to the Coloroma VI, a Nivada Grenchen women's collection of the 1960s. See all interchangeable bezel watches.
Is there a mechanical Chronoking?
Yes. The manual Chronoking uses a hand-wound Landeron 70 chronograph with a date at 12 o'clock and two grey debossed sub-dials. The Chronoking Vintage houses a restored Valjoux 23 VZ, a hand-wound column-wheel calibre produced from 1916 to 1974.
What size is the Chronoking?
Every Chronoking uses a 38 mm stainless steel case. The Racing and Mecaquartz models are water resistant to 10 ATM / 100 m.
