Nivada Antarctic Late Models 1964 onwards
In this section we will mainly cover models with signed T SWISS dials circa 1964-1978. There are exceptions to this rule - see the GLACIER models. It follows on from the 1956-64 models here - Nivada Antarctic Models Click on the name of the model to see more information and images.
