Building on the resounding success of the hybrid Mecaquartz version, Nivada Grenchen unveils a limited edition of its orange showstopper featuring an original old stock mechanical movement, revived for today’s collectors: the Valjoux cal. 23 VZ. The distinctive dial is a testament to the craftsmanship of Jean Singer, one of Switzerland’s premier dial makers. The Nivada Grenchen Chronoking ‘Paul Newman’ Orange echoes all the iconic codes – ‘Newman’-style Art Deco typography on tan-coloured sunray sub-dials, elegantly set against a black dial with an orange gradient minute track. The legendary Valjoux calibre 23 VZ beats inside this timepiece. With a production run that spanned 58 years – from 1916 to 1974 – this hand-wound chronograph is a storied calibre. Crafted using new old-stock movements that have been thoroughly reconditioned and tested, this timepiece effectively recreates a 1970s watch as if it were brand new.
