Hands-On With The Nivada Grenchen Depthmaster
Following the reissue of their Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver, Nivada Grenchen is poised to launch the next chapter of the brand?s resurgence with the Depthmaster. Re-issuing a vintage dive watch certainly sounds like a safe bet, but this is no ordinary diver. Like the CASD before it, the Nivada is offering a plethora of design options, allowing users to tailor their Depthmaster to taste, including use of the so-called ?pac-man? dial first seen in the original from the mid ?60s. The dial is but one of the unique features of the Depthmaster, though. We got our hands on a pair of options that will be available to order this month, and found plenty to unpack.

The CASD is very much it?s own thing, and the Depthmaster continues to eschew the well beaten path of dive watch design language.
