BORN FROM AN ORIGINAL EXPLORATION

The Super Antarctic is a modern evolution of Nivada’s iconic 1950 Antarctic collection — renowned for accompanying the U.S. Navy’s Deep Freeze I expedition to the South Pole (1955–56). Praised for its reliability in extreme conditions, the original inspired today’s Super Antarctic, which preserves the clean 1950s lines and features the 1957 International Geophysical Medallion engraved on its caseback

A LEGACY REIMAGINED

First introduced in the 1950s, the Antarctic was Nivada Grenchen’s answer to the golden age of exploration. This new 38 mm edition keeps its mid-century elegance while refining every line and proportion for today’s collectors.

1950’s original Antarctic Vintage

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.

The Perfect Proportions

38 mm diameter • 11.1 mm thickness • 45 mm lug-to-lug • 20 mm lug width — a contemporary fit faithful to the original spirit of the 1950s model.
