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 93044, a watch specially designed for the Japanese market.

This beautifully cushion shaped silver & gold 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.

The unsigned crown is original and is located at the 3H position and is nicely tucked away yet easily accessible.

The movement is in excellent condition, and the battery was replaced on 18 May 2026. So, it should be able to operate unhindered until the next battery replacement thereby providing the owner peace of mind. The crown is uncorked to preserve the battery life.

The case width and height are approximately 32mm (w/o crown) and 40mm respectively. The lug width is 18mm and the bracelet can accommodate wrists up to 15.2cm; hence, this watch is suitable for men and the modern women.

The bracelet is an original unsigned Nivada gold-plated 2-tone Super Engineer designed SS bracelet. It too underwent a good cleaning and polish.

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 thereby it is considered in excellent condition.

Even though the seals and gaskets are in place, this timepiece has not been water-resistant tested due to its age.

The pictures provided shows the watch in excellent condition and well maintained. It has also been demagnetised to improve parts reliability, minimise wear + tear, and improve accuracy. The only drawback is the lack of documentation and original box. A nice purposeful carrying case or box will be provided instead.

Bear in mind that this watch has seen many of the previous owners’ ups and downs in life and should be cherished and well taken care of for the next generation to savour such engineering beauty.

Yes, there are many other same models in the market, but almost all are not in the same quality condition and is well maintained as what you see here. Hence, it is a no-brainer that this one-of-a-kind watch will make an extremely beautiful birthday present for that special someone! Another no-brainer is the fact that the value of this watch will appreciate over time.

This is a highly sort-after Collectible Nivada Grenchen N-93044 in superb condition; so, be unique and own a Vintage Nivada that is almost impossible to source in such fine condition or purchase it for that special someone.

Disclaimer:

Even though I have tried to take the pictures with natural light, the colour of the watch may differ from the actual product due to various factors such as nature of camera and computer you are using.

The pictures showcase the watch from almost all angles possible. We cannot be held responsible if the camera does not pick up a minor imperfection.

The calibration was conducted in sunny Singapore where the temperature is mid 30s and the humidity is in the 90s. I cannot guarantee the same performance of the watch in your country. So, I cannot be held responsible for this.

Everyone has a different level of expectations when they purchase a product. Please refrain from bidding if you expect perfection for a used vintage watch because any part can malfunction at any time.

A final check will be conducted and a video taken to prove the watch performance before the watch is despatched; however, we cannot guarantee and cannot be held responsible if the watch does not perform in your country.
