The Antarctic Eggshell Beige Luminova 35 mm is a hand-wound continuation of Nivada Grenchen's 1950s Antarctic, in a slim 35 mm steel case. Its eggshell beige dial pairs Art Deco numerals at 12, 3, 6 and 9 with applied arrowhead indexes and glowing Super-LumiNova.
The details reward a close look. Instead of the usual lume dots, curved, slightly orange luminous arcs sit on the outer edge of the hour markers. The dauphine hands carry a slim luminous strip, and an elongated blued steel seconds hand crosses the dial. Nivada Grenchen is signed below 12, Antarctic above 6, and a discreet Swiss sits along the minute track.
The 316L stainless steel case is polished and satin-brushed, 10.1 mm thick and 42 mm lug to lug, with 18 mm lugs. On the closed caseback, a stylised penguin on a gold medallion recalls the Antarctic heritage. Under the sapphire crystal, the Landeron 21 hand-wound movement drives hours, minutes and seconds, with a 36-hour power reserve and no date. Water resistance is 5 ATM, or 50 m.
The dial also exists in black and white. For a larger case, see the Antarctic Eggshell 38 mm.

Returning to the basics, embracing all-time favorites, and capturing timeless elegance. As the trend of oversized watches wanes, Nivada Grenchen delves deep into its rich heritage to present a renewed expression of masculine watchmaking. This comes complete with impeccable, artfully crafted finishes, all housed in a 35mm case that epitomizes slender elegance. While the Antarctic’s case and crown are undeniably elegant, it’s the dial that truly stands out as the watch’s centerpiece. Available in three distinct colors — black, white, and eggshell/off-white — the dial boasts applied steel indexes. At the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions we have Art Deco-style numerals, while arrowheads (you could say faceted icicles) serve as indexes. Brilliant details, both literally and figuratively. Instead of the conventional luminescent dots, we have curved, slightly orange luminescent arcs painted on the outer edge of the hour markers. The dial proudly bears the ‘Nivada Grenchen’ signature below the 12, with «Antarctic» just above the 6. Beneath it, hugging the outer edge of the minute track, a discreet ‘Swiss’. The steel hands are of the classic dauphine style, with a slim luminescent band at their center. The elongated second hand, crafted in blued steel, adds an extra touch of elegance. On the caseback, an embossed, stylized penguin on a gold medaillon serves as a nod to the watch’s heritage. Altogether, this blend of design elements crafts a remarkable timepiece, with a unique look and feel that takes you back to the 1950s at a flick of the wrist.
