In 1930, Nivada was one of the first companies to manufacture automatic watches. The timepieces can have either the Nivada or Croton signature, or both. In the United States of America (USA), the Croton Company distributed all Nivada watches. In 1976, his son Max took over the business. Nivada timepieces have been in the watchmaking industry since 1926, the year when Jacob Schneider first created it in Granges (Grenchen). Byrd reported that despite intense cold, harsh impacts, high magnetism and altitude the watches performed perfectly.NIVADA GRENCHEN REBIRTH Reviving the Glory of Nivada Grenchen

Renowned explorer Admiral Richard Byrd wore a Croton during Operation Deep Freeze, a 1955 expedition to the Antarctic. Many watch companies quickly rose to meet that challenge, including Croton. The mid 1900’s were a time rich with exploration and adventurers had very specific requirements for their watches. The components were being manufactured in Switzerland, but the watches were assembled in the Croton, NY factory leading Croton to be regarded as an American watch brand. They relocated to New York City in 1928 and finally settled in the Hudson Valley town of Croton, New York in 1963. The roots of the Croton Watch Company can be traced to the city of Crotone in southern Italy. This model features a Valjoux 7733 movement. This Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver includes: a chronograph, a tachymeter scale, a rotating bezel for diving, a second time zone on the bezel and a sailing regatta countdown.

No two watches will turn tropical the exact same way. The enticing colors and organic textures seen here adds a distinct personality to any time piece- differentiating one watch from others of the same model. A tropical dial is a black face watch which has changed color over time due to the substances used inside the dial markers and/or inside the hands of the watch. All watch enthusiasts know that there is one thing no watchmaker can plan, predict, or intentionally replicate - the coveted “tropical dial”.
