Nivada Grenchen Chronosport 38 Watch
When the Daytona Paul Newman, a 1960s Rolex reference, was new, several competing brands created contemporaries, of which many have been lost to time (and the Quartz revolution of the 70s). Some of them even used the same third-party manufacturer, Singer, to produce similarly "exotic" — what Rolex dubbed them — dials. One such brand was Nivada Grenchen, a Swiss brand that went out of business in the 80s but returned in 2018 and started shipping watches in 2021. Ever since, they've been cranking out reissue references from their archive — like the Paul Newman-esque Chronosport 38, a prototype of which only 20 were ever made. Featuring a black dial with an inner tachymeter, two tan-colored sub-dials, a rotating black bezel, square-tip hands, red insignias, white hour markers, sapphire crystal, and an integrated steel bracelet, the modern version runs on an automatic Valjoux 7750 caliber.
