The Chronoking Aviator Sea Diver

Nivada Grenchen, the famous Swiss watchmaking company, presents its new creation, the Chronoking Aviator Sea Diver. With its hybrid Meca-quartz movement, this watch combines the precision of quartz with the beauty of traditional watchmaking. Limited to only 100 pieces, this multifunctional watch is an essential tool for vintage watch enthusiasts.
The Chronoking Aviator Sea Diver is equipped with a Seiko VK64A Meca-quartz movement that offers a three-year autonomy. Thanks to quartz technology, it tells time with impeccable precision while the mechanical module takes care of the chronograph. The red chronograph hand glides smoothly over the SuperLuminova indices, giving a mechanical look to the watch.
With a 38mm stainless steel case, this watch is robust and resistant. The black aluminum bezel, with large distinctive numbers, gives the watch a strong personality. The screw-down caseback also attests to the quality of the design of this piece.
The Chronoking Aviator Sea Diver is also a reissue of a vintage piece with modern and avant-garde features. This watch is decidedly sporty while remaining elegant. It is also versatile and can be used for diving, aviation, regatta and also has a "GMT" function.
The slimness of the case and the competitive price are the major strengths of this watch. Guillaume Laidet, CEO of Nivada Grenchen, explains that the battery replaces the barrel and the quartz the balance wheel, but that the Meca-quartz movement remains a watchmaking product that combines the precision of quartz and the pleasure of having gears and traditional mechanics, in a way.

The Chronoking Aviator Sea Diver is sold at an affordable price of € 437.95 from February 20, 2023.
