This edition was born from a true collector’s discovery: a reissue of a dial that Guillaume Laidet found at Cenic, forgotten for decades in their archives. By bringing it back to life, we’ve preserved all its vintage soul while pairing it with our contemporary watchmaking know-how, offering enthusiasts a genuine piece of history on the wrist. The Antarctic Diver Vintage Aquamar brings Nivada’s historic dive tool into a compact 38 mm case with a cold-toned, dark blue and grey dial. A black ceramic bezel, 20 ATM water resistance and the automatic Soprod P024 movement with date make it a rugged, everyday diver with vintage Antarctic DNA.
