Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver Reissue Unboxing & Review

[@tomislavp1352]

They make beautiful vintage watches. Love how they keep them mostly identical as they were in 1950 and 1960. Great review. 😊

[@danewithers9628]

I have been eyeing these for a while... Had no idea the bracelet was like that, so amazing!

[@darrenhargreaves8613]

Great review. Great watch

[@craftandtailored]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@paoloderisio2260]

Very beautiful Watch 👍🏻😍

[@craftandtailored]

Agreed!! Thanks for tuning in!

[@stratmad]

Great review. I’ve been eyeing this piece for a few weeks and have been trying to come up with a reason not to pull the trigger but I think I’m not gonna win the argument. Again. Hats off to NG for doing a reissue right.

[@craftandtailored]

DO IT!! You wont be disappointed

[@carrera3.262]

Looking for the year update? Seriously considering this piece and curious to see how it has held up.

[@craftandtailored]

Held up perfectly! So much so that we brought them into the C + T shop and you can now buy them directly from us check it out : www.craftandtailored.com/collections/vintage-inspired/nivada-grenchen

I have the 86011WM and love it! I bought the tropic rubber strap but it is back-ordered so the watch came with a basic black leather that I swapped out for a "favorite" that I use which is somewhat softer & more flexible. I also am the original owner of a first-issue 1961-62 Croton Nivada Grenchen *CHRONOGRAPH* Aviator Sea Diver with the Venus 210 movement, still running well (NOTE: The first release of this watch type in 1961 was "Chronograph" and the change to "Chronomaster" came in about 1963 or so). It is amazing to me that an original $100 watch can bring the kinds of prices from collectors that I have seen lately (the Valjoux 23 movement versions seem to be the biggest sellers).

I just pulled the trigger on the manual orange boy. Same configuration as yours. Now I just need DHL to hurry up. I find this one to be the best reissue out there. Great content, Cam. Keep it up.

[@craftandtailored]

Good choice!

[@oscillize]

Thanks for this great review Cam. I've been considering getting one of these since they were announced, but your review finally solidified my decision, and I ordered the white panda version from the Hodinkee Shop this morning!

[@craftandtailored]

Awesome Congrats!! Great Watches

[@oscillize]

@@craftandtailored And I'm enjoying your What's On My Wrist videos again with the brighter lighting and stable camera shots ;-)

[@oscillize]

@@craftandtailored Received mine today! And have put it on a mesh bracelet. I think this might be the watch that spends the most time on my wrist. Hodinkee also ships in the same packaging as what you received, along with a signed and numbered copy of Chronomaster Only.

[@watchragazzi]

Great video love this stuff ☺️👌

[@craftandtailored]

Thanks! glad you enjoyed this one!

[@Billeh556]

Great video thank you so much. This sealed it, I’m getting one!

[@Rosay__]

Very cool piece...thanks Cam!

[@btmontres1423]

Great review. Lots of detail and description for us WISs.

[@theoneandonly7213]

Is the crown screw down? Cheers

[@malikhaiderkhan8002]

Love your content!!! Keep up the amazing work!!

[@robertbelliottjr5773]

Excellent review!

[@craftandtailored]

Thank you kindly!

[@commentjedi]

Gaaaaaah!....where's the watch!! I keep missing it as I glance over, 😆

[@craftandtailored]

hehe you can re watch it

[@audemarspiguet4237]

Nice to see Cam again reviewing cool watches!

[@craftandtailored]

😍😍😍

[@jimmysplit7729]

Nice one Cam, executed beautifully and price is surprisingly good 👌🏻

[@craftandtailored]

Thanks my friend!

[@martinchang2474]

Fantastic review. I'm a big fan of the look of this watch. What are your thoughts on the Chronoking with the date at 12:00?

[@petzcw]

Thanks for the incredible review. How is the tactile feel of the pushers? Does this 510 movement have much of jumping chrono hand start like other cam movements?

[@craftandtailored]

Yes, it does a very solid watch! highly recommended!

[@andrew811ful]

Tempted to buy one of these ...

[@watch_a_mod354]

Great review. Nice tempo.Relaxxing Sooner or later i need a Nivada too.. Fell in love with the ChronoKing with the date on 12. Sadly its sold out and i'll need some more time to save some watch money Back to modding then :)

[@TheSanMicheles]

I just placed my order for mine. I did order from Hodinkee I will check on the book order with the watch. I ordered the panda dial manual watch. The only disadvantage is Hodinkee only has 3 watches (styles)

[@kocsisal]

Fantastic review! Do you remember how much the import/duty tax was? Deciding between Hodinkee or direct. Thank!

[@yavornikolov6965]

Hey guys, do you know how many clicks is the bezel ? Overall it looks like a nice little watch :)

[@vaughandurful]

It's bidirectional. No clicks. But locks or holds nicely.

[@Ninoitaliano]

Do you still like/wear this watch? Is it one of those that has faded in time or gotten better for you?

[@storminmormondd]

Awesome video. The bracelet would be even better if it had some taper to it.

[@craftandtailored]

I agree great point!

[@simonsnaplick895]

I have an original Nivada Chronomaster Paul Newman. Do you know of a place to have it repaired and serviced?

[@craftandtailored]

Yep shoot us an email [e-mail]

[@edotedy]

Need that bracelet for the BB58 wow

[@craftandtailored]

I may try this out on my bb 58!!!

[@joshuajuarez3471]

Where is the watch??

[@ams914]

This watch was made as a "do everything" watch in the truest sense, that was the goal. It packs 7-9 functions, apparently. I'll do my best to get them right: Regatta timer, second time zone, chronograph, dive timer, tachymeter for speed, tachymeter for heart rate (I think there's a way to do that with some simple math?), and finally, the local time itself.

[@444slowitdown]

congrats man..

[@craftandtailored]

Thank you sir!

[@camarocarl7130]

Who is he talking to? Is your camara man confused? The side view is confusing me! Nice watch btw.

[@thomasmoll8822]

There’s no “T” in “Grenchen” (as opposed to “Gretchen”) - think “bench” or similar 😉

[@kajlaurits2868]

Nice review. My son wants to know if you sweat a lot? A weird question I know

[@craftandtailored]

Sometimes! Depends on how much caffeine Cam has that day 😜

[@mrjolly8680]

Never get to see the watch.....

[@jonboy8181]

20 mins of watching this dude talk and 1 minute of showing the beautiful watch. Come on now.

[@BarrySkinner-h7w]

never trust a guy that shaves his arms! How vain!
