Nivada Grenchen - 1970s Nivada Aquamar (Ref. 4517) Matte Blue Dial
1970s Nivada Aquamar (Ref. 4517) Matte Blue Dial
Aquamars, like this one, were certainly created for such adventures. This attractive skindiver-style model features blasts of color that make it look like it's just itching to get into the water. Its slim, 36mm case makes the watch supremely comfortable on the wrist, and the color and design of the dial makes it highly legible and, frankly, a whole lot of fun.

CASE & BRACELET
The slim 36.5mm cushion case is believed to be unpolished, showing normal signs of wear for a watch its age, and crisp angles and finishing throughout. The rotating bezel is in very good condition, showing minor signs of wear on the outer edges, as would be expected of a dive watch. It features its original Nivada-signed crown. The case back shows wear but all factory engravings are deep and highly legible. The watch comes supplied on a two-piece leather strap.
DIAL & HANDS
The matte blue dial is in fantastic condition with little to no visible marks or discoloration. The hour markers are a mix of reflective orange paint and lume, the latter of which has aged to a cream color. The white handset is in fantastic condition with the inlaid lume that matches the dial, and a neon orange second hand that pops especially well off the dial.
ACCESSORIES
None. The watch was recently serviced, backed by a 1-year warranty on accurate timekeeping.
