The Antarctic 35mm: an elegant timepiece where the dial takes center stage. With a choice of black, white, eggshell/off-white, or Salmon it features applied steel indexes, Art Deco-style numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock, and arrowhead indexes. Luminescent arcs replace traditional dots on the hour markers, creating a unique aesthetic. The ‘Nivada Grenchen’ signature sits proudly below the 12, ‘Antarctic’ above the 6, with a discreet ‘Swiss’ along the minute track. Classic dauphine-style steel hands, a slim luminescent band, and a blued steel elongated second hand add an elegant touch. The caseback, adorned with an embossed penguin on a gold medallion, pays homage to the watch’s heritage. In a flick of the wrist, this Antarctic 35mm transcends time, capturing the essence of the 1950s.

In the mid-1950s, the United States initiated a series of missions to Antarctica. Dubbed Operation Deep Freeze, the project conducted from 1955 to 1956 aimed to establish the first permanent base in one of Earth’s most severe and icy landscapes. At the time, esteemed polar explorer Admiral Richard E. Byrd was President Eisenhower’s fitting choice to oversee Operation Deep Freeze I. On his wrist, the ANTARCTIC – the same watch that is now being reissued – robust, shock-resistant, and antimagnetic. And crafted to endure the harshest conditions.
