Since then, Nivada has become known for its Antarctic’s robust and reliable performance in extreme conditions.

The watch was worn by the members of the American Navy’s Deep Freeze 1 during their expedition to the South Pole from 1955 to 1956. This led to the creation of Nivada’s first waterproof automatic watch called the Antarctic in 1950. In 1930, Nivada was one of the first companies to manufacture automatic watches. The timepieces can have either the Nivada or Croton signature, or both. In the United States of America (USA), the Croton Company distributed all Nivada watches.

The Chronomaster was made in numerous case, dial, and movement variations throughout its production years. Croton had an ongoing partnership with the Swiss brand Nivada and, as a result, many Nivada watches sold in the United States were branded Croton.
