You might call us the “underwater watch company”.' Within ten years, the Geneva-based Aquastar was awarded a bunch of patents for its models, including for an inner rotating bezel, dive decompression bezel, and crown sealing system.Īn old Aquastar advertisement read: ‘Aquastar makes nothing but sea watches and instruments. In the early 1960s, Frederic Robert, a diver, sailor, and, among other things, a mathematician and watchmaker, inherited a watch company named Jean Richard and turned it to Aquastar, which was focused on making professional grade watches and instruments - such as sailing timers and depth gauges - for the diving community. Here, we take a look at three reborn brands and their debut offerings. But, of late, it is not just vintage models that are being issued - entire brands are being resurrected every year. The 1960s and 1970s were what we now know as the golden era of sports watch design where the form of a watch needed to meet its intended function to support the adventures that the watch was created for.The watch industry’s - and the watch buyers’ - fascination with the past appears to be perennial. Within the expansive world of vintage timepieces, there is no uncertainty that vintage tool watches hold a particular position within the minds of numerous collectors. The Chronomaster range of watches from Nivada Grenchen and Croton were produced in a time when adventures and exploration were at the forefront of what was happening in the world and within the pop culture of the 1960s. In this episode of “What Is On My Wrist” Cam “Unboxes” and reviews the Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver reissue, Cam compares new to old and does a deep dive into the new Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster.
