Nivada was founded in 1926 in Grenchen, in the Swiss Jura, and became known in the mid-20th century for robust automatic and sports watches such as the Antarctic, the Depthmaster and the Chronomaster. Nivada also supplied many Middle Eastern markets, where dials with local emblems and logos were ordered as presentation pieces.
