A starry watch
A unique design that Nivada Grenchen created specifically to house this special movement adds an extra layer of intrigue to this already highly covetable limited-edition watch.
It has a navy blue dial splattered with white specks, as if a paintbrush were flicked at a wall, creating the look of an unobscured starry night sky. The same texture covers a world time bezel, another novel addition to this iconic chronograph.
The Holy Grail for all watch collectors, aside from some patina enthusiasts, is an untouched vintage reference that has sat in storage for decades. The Chronomaster Broad Arrow Valjoux 23 is the next best thing, offering a body and engine straight from 1963 but in brand-new condition.
Availability and pricing
The Nivada Grenchen Chromomaster Broad Arrow Valjoux 23 is available now from Nivada Grenchen for $5,000, but supplies are going fast.
The watches are shipping out in two waves, with the first 13 of each reference going out in July, and the remaining 12 in September.
