Modern Recreation of Iconic Datomaster Chronograph Marries Historic Design with Swiss Precision

The 1960s saw the birth of many iconic watches, amongst them, the Nivada Grenchen’s Datomaster chronograph. This year marks the arrival of a modern version of this timeless piece, ensuring its revered design lives on in the wrists of contemporary timepiece enthusiasts.

The 2022 Datomaster chronograph features a more wearable 39 mm case, a considerate step up from the original size. Yet the heart still beats true to our vintage love with a manual winding movement drawing parallels to its ancestor.

It is also enhanced with a modern Swiss chronograph movement, a tried and true beast of precision and reliability. But although the guts have been upgraded, the Datomaster hasn’t lost its distinctive timeless charm. The dial showcases intricate details such as facetted applied indices, beveled metal rings enclosing the sunken counters, and a manually stamped logo that bulges with pride under a loupe.

The 2022 Datomaster is a testament to the craft of watchmaking, a beautiful blend of old and new – embodying the styling of the 60s watch it pays tribute to while ensuring it meets the demands of today’s discerning wearer.
