Nivada Grenchen Depthmaster 1000 circa 1960’s

Nivada Grenchen Stainless Steel Depthmaster 1000 automatic diver’s model with date. 38 x 47mm cushion shaped case reminiscent of a “Baby Panerai” with wide rotating elapsed time bezel, over sized crown, wide extended lugs complete with heavy screws to secure strap. Original matte black dial with patina’d luminous Arabic numerals and hands. Red sweep seconds with luminous dot and depth rating printed in red. Powered by 21 jewel automatic ETA 2472 movement with sweep seconds and date. Great looking vintage diver’s model with your choice of NATO style or other sporty strap.

NOTE: an atypical but certainly amusing print advertisement for this model contains the copy: “Wear this watch to dive deeply, scuba safely, sing sweetly (Gurgle Gurgle), chart channels, forage for fish, plunge for pearls, kiss girls and never worry. It’s the world’s most waterproof! And all this for $120.00”
