Super-LumiNova is used to illuminate the hour and minute hands along with the applied indices, and Nivada’s fun, gold-colored engraved penguin medallion appears on the caseback, just as it does on the brand’s non-GMT Antarctic models.
Pricing and Availability
Anytime Nivada dusts off another tool watch from its archives, it’s exciting. The brand’s offerings are always loaded with style, and its mid-century history as a true explorer’s brand only adds to its watches’ appeal.
The Antarctic GMT is no exception. It’s well-proportioned (it wears closer to a 38 than a 36 due to its cushion case) and it looks great, with tons of vintage vibes. You can also control just how vintage you want the watch to look, as it’s available in two dial colors: newer-looking black and a faux-aged tropical brown.
Both colors are available on a variety of straps, including multiple leather, rubber and steel bracelet options. Best of all, the watch’s SRP starts at just $1,600, depending on which strap you choose. The Antarctic GMT will be available to purchase soon directly from Nivada’s website.
