Croton Triple Register Chronograph

Why We Love It

Here at Analog/Shift, we try to spread the love and shine some light on the lesser-known watches and brands - especially when those watches house workhorse movements like the Valjoux 72.

Coming in at 38mm, this stainless steel Croton chronograph oozes vintage charm. Featuring a reverse panda dial with wonderful even patina, the red seconds hand offers strong accenting. Its a beautiful example of a classic sports chronograph. But the beauty is not merely skin deep, because this sports chrono is powered by the legendary Valjoux 72 - considered by many to be the finest manual winding chronograph movement ever made.

Fortunately, you don't have to be sitting at auction, paddle at the ready, with a few hundred thousand dollars in the bank to own a piece of watch making history! 

The Story

Nivada is a brand many collectors have encountered along the way, but widespread interest has yet to take hold. Commonly distributed in the United States under the Croton name (to avoid trademark conflicts), Nivada was based in the village of Grenchen, Switzerland, with roots dating back to 1879. Sold in 2000 and relocated to Mexico, the Nivada name is still in business today, but sells entry-level timepieces unworthy of further discussion. 

With designs ranging from professional-grade divers to aviation-oriented chronographs, vintage Croton timepieces offer a lot of value in some pretty enticing packages.
