Nivada Chronoking

Croton, Nivada, or Nivada Grenchen: by whatever name they go by, these watches were meant to handle anything. No model of Nivada's typifies this more than the Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver. Not only is it a chronograph (a chronomaster, even), it can be used at sea and in the air. 

Nivada (called Croton in the U.S. due to a copyright dispute with Movado) introduced the Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver in 1963 and produced it until 1978.

It came in many different variants throughout its fifteen-year run. The most common iteration has two chronograph registers at 3 and 9 o'clock, and later versions had the addition of a date window. Nivada used broad arrow hands during the 1960s before transitioning to baton hands in the 1970s.

This lovely Chronoking, being a product of the 1970s, bears the baton hands that typify the later models. This three register piece comes in a very classic for the era cushion case style. The bezel--- looking round at first glance, is in fact quite angular, adding a dimension against the smooth curve of the case. The dial is executed in red, white, blue and black, and is decorated with an outer tachometer scale. 

An uncommonly-seen variant of a type of chronograph that's getting quite a bit of traction recently; to find one in this condition is rare indeed. 

What we have here is a versatile timepiece, at home in any environment and packed with design cues right out of the golden era of tool chronograph production.
