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 particular example has more of an "albino" appearance with a silver/white dial and silver World Time/GMT bezel. It feels equally at home on a NATO-style strap as it does  leather and has remained in absolutely stunning and unpolished condition. This discrete and lovely piece is ready to enjoy and sure to keep you buzzing on your next adventure.
