[[File:Nivada gold chrono 1.jpg|thumb|Nivada Antarctic Chronometre Gold]]
==Nivada Antarctic Officially Certified Chronometre (NAOCC)==
This particular model is part of Nivada’s Antarctic line, which reflects the brand’s support for the US Navy during “Operation Deep Freeze' for IGY in 1957/58 and was very much the top of the line watch for the company. It can be found in steel, gold plate and (very rarely) solid 18k gold. Most notable is the case back with a beautiful gold medallion commemorating the expedition itself. The watch was issued circa 1957/8 and available for a few years, but based on observation, it is a rare thing indeed and very collectible now.

Most versions seen are powered by the ETA 2452 or 2472, an advanced movement in its day and quite similar to today’s 2824. Although just 18,000 A/h, it features bi-directional winding and “quickset” date (though not crown-set date like modern watches). It was tuned to chronometer specification at the factory, a prime selling point for this watch, similar to the [[Omega Constellation]]s of the same period. The movements carry an engraved 4 digit number unique to each one and corresponding to the certificate accompanying the watch. The rotor also bears engraving regarding setting to 3 positions and temperature.

If you have a NAOCC, please add your details to the serial number list here: [[Nivada Chronometre Serial Numbers]]

The dials are seen brushed, with the larger hour markers and dauphin hands as seen on the other Antarctic models, or linen dials in both gold and steel. A blue second hand as per the first Antarctic models has been seen on one of the Rudolphs Dependable examples but most hands are non lume with matching silver or gold second hand. Dials are seen with and without 12 at top and minute markers in Calatrava style. Steel versions also seen with gold markers and hands in early serial numbers. Crown is unsigned certainly in the early models pre 1964. The gold capped version has a concealed crown and separate lugs.

The solid gold one appear to be a no-date version which is perhaps more elegant and formal as befitting its 18k status, and with more simple dial and hand configuration. It is also a later model as shown here and indicated by the use of the Nivada logo-style script. What is slightly confusing is the use of Aquamatic rather than Antarctic on the dial!

These watches were also marketed by Croton in the US and Canada. They do not appear to carry the Croton name . However. two versions for the Rudolph’s Dependable department store in upstate New York have been seen, in gold cap and steel cases.

Nivada Chronometre Serial Numbers

CambridgeV8: /* Serial Number List for NAOCC (Nivada Antarctic Officially Certified Chronometre) */

== NIVADA OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED CHRONOMETRE SERIAL NUMBERS ==

It is hoped that here on Chronopedia we can create a list of serial numbers issued to these watches. Each model sold originally had a paper certificate which matched the serial number on the movement. Most of the paperwork has been lost over time, sadly. However the majority of observed examples do carry a 1 to 4 digit code in addition to the movement reference, normally the ETA 2452, later 2472, engraved on the movement which enables us to catalogue and date them. This is also a good way to assess that the watch is original and has not been altered or made up from lesser parts.

The NAOCC model seems to have been issued late 1958 and was still being marketed in 1965. There are exceptions to this but the majority of observed examples carry the number. The Rudolphs Dependable OCC version, marketed by Croton in US, does have an individual number on the movement on the few examples seen. It has a slightly different case with a semi concealed crown in the gold plated version and a standard lug steel case version. Both have the gold engraved Antarctic medallion on caseback.

It seems the NAOCC was sold both in North America and Europe with the Nivada Grenchen name and not the Croton Nivada Grenchen branding more typical of the North American market. Note also the spelling of Chronometre in European style.

The number is engraved in the location shown in the movement shot here - do not confuse with the movement number under the balance which will be 2452 or 2472:

[[File:Nivada gold chrono 1.jpg|thumb|Nivada Antarctic Chronometre Gold]]
==Nivada Antarctic Officially Certified Chronometre (NAOCC)==
This particular model is part of Nivada’s Antarctic line, which reflects the brand’s support for the US Navy during “Operation Deep Freeze' for IGY in 1957/58 and was very much the top of the line watch for the company. It can be found in steel, gold plate and (very rarely) solid 18k gold. Most notable is the case back with a beautiful gold medallion commemorating the expedition itself. The watch was issued circa 1957/8 and available for a few years, but based on observation, it is a rare thing indeed and very collectible now.

Most versions seen are powered by the ETA 2452 or 2472, an advanced movement in its day and quite similar to today’s 2824. Although just 18,000 A/h, it features bi-directional winding and “quickset” date (though not crown-set date like modern watches). It was tuned to chronometer specification at the factory, a prime selling point for this watch, similar to the [[Omega Constellation]]s of the same period. The movements carry an engraved 4 digit number unique to each one and corresponding to the certificate accompanying the watch. The rotor also bears engraving regarding setting to 3 positions and temperature.

If you have a NAOCC, please add your details to the serial number list here: [[Nivada Chronometre Serial Numbers]]

The dials are seen brushed, with the larger hour markers and dauphin hands as seen on the other Antarctic models. A blue second hand as per the first Antarctic models has been seen on the Rudolphs Dependable examples but most hands are non lume with matching silver or gold second hand. Dials are seen with and without 12 at top and minute markers in Calatrava style. Steel versions also seen with gold markers and hands in early serial numbers. Crown is unsigned certainly in the early models pre 1964. The gold capped version has a concealed crown and separate lugs.

The gold one appear to be a no-date version which is perhaps more elegant and formal as befitting its 18k status, and with more simple dial and hand configuration. It is also a later model as shown here and indicated by the use of the Nivada logo-style script. What is slightly confusing is the use of Aquamatic rather than Antarctic on the dial!

These watches were also marketed by Croton in the US and Canada. They do not appear to carry the Croton name however. A version for the Rudolph’s Dependable department store in upstate New York has also been identified.

Nivada Chronometre Serial Numbers

2026-08-25T19:16:02Z

CambridgeV8:

== NIVADA OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED CHRONOMETRE SERIAL NUMBERS ==

It is hoped that here on Chronopedia we can create a list of serial numbers issued to these watches. Each model sold originally had a paper certificate which matched the serial number on the movement. Most of the paperwork has been lost over time, sadly. However the majority of observed examples do carry a 1 to 4 digit code in addition to the movement reference, normally the ETA 2452, later 2472, engraved on the movement which enables us to catalogue and date them. This is also a good way to assess that the watch is original and has not been altered or made up from lesser parts.

The NAOCC model seems to have been issued late 1958 and was still being marketed in 1965. There are exceptions to this but the majority of observed examples carry the number. The Rudolphs Dependable OCC version, marketed by Croton in US, does have an individual number on the movement on the few examples seen. It has a slightly different case with a semi concealed crown.

It seems the NAOCC was sold both in North America and Europe with the Nivada Grenchen name and not the Croton Nivada Grenchen branding more typical of the North American market. Note also the spelling of Chronometre in European style.

The number is engraved in the location shown in the movement shot here:

Nivada Chronometre Serial Numbers

2026-08-25T19:10:10Z

CambridgeV8: /* Serial Number List for NAOCC (Nivada Antarctic Officially Certified Chronometre) */

== NIVADA OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED CHRONOMETRE SERIAL NUMBERS ==

It is hoped that here on Chronopedia we can create a list of serial numbers issued to these watches. Each model sold originally had a paper certificate which matched the serial number on the movement. Most of the paperwork has been lost over time, sadly. However the majority of observed examples do carry a 1 to 4 digit code in addition to the movement reference, normally the ETA 2452, later 2472, engraved on the movement which enables us to catalogue and date them. This is also a good way to assess that the watch is original and has not been altered or made up from lesser parts.

The NAOCC model seems to have been issued late 1958 and was still being marketed in 1965. There are exceptions to this but the majority of observed examples carry the number. The Rudolphs Dependable OCC version, marketed by Croton in US, does have an individual number on the movement on the few examples seen. It has a slightly different case with a semi concealed crown.

It seems the NAOCC was sold both in North America and Europe with the Nivada Grenchen name and not the Croton Nivada Grenchen branding more typical of the North American market. Note also the spelling of Chronometre in European style.

The number is engraved in the location shown in the movement shot here:
