Nitella – Two-Tone Bullseye Dial – Swiss Mechanical – 34 mm

This vintage Swiss-made Nitella draws the eye with a finely grooved silver centre framed by a dark hour ring. Gold-tone hands and an oversized numeral at 12 o’clock add warmth to the two-tone bullseye dial, while the polished stainless steel case and black leather strap keep the focus on its graphic design.

Story & Heritage

The bullseye layout gives this Nitella two distinct looks. From arm’s length, the dark ring and bold 12 define the dial. Up close, the fine concentric grooves catch the light as the watch turns, while the small triangular marks on the outer track echo the pointed hands. It’s a layered design that gives this compact 34 mm watch a strong presence on the wrist.
