Founded in Grenchen, Switzerland, in 1926 (sometimes cited as 1879) by Jacob Schneider. Nivada quickly gained a reputation for reliable and affordable Swiss watches.
During the 1960s–1970s, Japan was one of the largest importers of Swiss watches, but the country also had a booming domestic industry (Seiko, Citizen, Orient). For Swiss brands like Nivada (especially after the quartz crisis), Japan was a critical export market but also a very difficult one: Japanese buyers wanted value-driven watches, and local distributors often demanded exclusive designs to stand out in an oversaturated market.
Here we have a Nivada Grenchen Ref N-90072 Perpetual Quartz, ala Rolex hommage design with jewelled dial. This beautifully shaped silver case underwent a good clean-up while maintaining its super sexy curves. Most imperfections were removed without compromising the case shape. The original crystal was polished and is in excellent condition albeit minor scratches do remain.
The unsigned crown is located at the 3H position and is nicely tucked away yet easily accessible. The movement was given a simple servicing including battery replacement on 19 July 2026 because it was in immaculate condition. It should be able to operate unhindered until the next battery replacement thereby providing the owner peace of mind.
The case width and height are approximately 35.6mm (w/o crown) and 43.6mm respectively. The lug width is 19mm and the bracelet can accommodate wrists up to 17.8cm; hence, this watch is suitable for men and the modern women. The watch is accompanied by the original unsigned Nivada 2-Tone SS Bracelet.
To the best of our knowledge and expertise when overhauling the timepiece, the watch is 100% original Nivada components from this particular watch. No parts were replaced with aftermarket parts or modified. Even though the seals and gaskets are in place, this timepiece has not been water-resistant tested due to its age.
This is a highly sought-after Collectible Nivada Grenchen Perpetual Quartz with Jewelled dial in stunning condition; so, be unique and own a rare 1970s Nivada ala Rolex Homage Watch that is almost impossible to source in such fine condition or purchase it for that special someone instead.
