The Antarctic GMT is a tribute to Nivada Grenchen’s rich legacy of professional watchmaking. Originally introduced during the Jet Age, when frequent travelers required precise time-zone tracking, the Antarctic GMT has been reimagined for modern adventurers. This retro-styled masterpiece pays homage to its 1970s roots while offering the contemporary functionality of a Swiss-made SOPROD C125 movement.
