Nivada is a Swiss brand that was founded in 1926 and arguably saw most of its success in the 1950s and 60s. Today, their vintage pieces like the Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver and Antarctic are amongst their most celebrated and more recently have been highlighted with a revival of the brand. Some of our favorite, all be it obscure pieces are their Travelmaster alarms which of course competed with the highly successful Vulcain Cricket alarms of the period. The Travelmasters are now a true rarity to come across and happen to be some of the most interesting alarm watches we've been able to find yet.

This example features a black rotating bezel which contrasts nicely against the silver/white color of the dial. This is an extremely charming piece with plenty of presence for the average sized wrist. If you're someone who appreciates the lesser-known finds, we believe its highly unlikely you'll see another one of these in the wild on your next adventure.
