In a letter to Croton, Admiral Byrd had this to say of the watches: “They were subjected to prolonged immersion, extreme altitude and high-magnetism. They were dropped and knocked against ice. They were never wound. Through all these tests, [the watches] kept perfect time.”

This hardy nature was certainly not limited to the watches Admiral Byrd and his crewmen wore. The brand prided itself on the rugged durability of its products, and Operation Deep Freeze only proved them right. Throughout the 1950s and into the 1960s, the brand launched a succession of sports watches that are desirable even now.

This watch, the Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver, is one of them. In a period marked by exploration, watch brands released scores of watches to meet explorers’ every need. Released in 1963, the Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver (or, in its earliest iteration, the Chronograph Aviator Sea Diver) had much in common with other sporty chronographs like the Omega Speedmaster or the Heuer Carrera. However, due to the increasing popularity of SCUBA diving as a recreational sport, Croton Nivada Grenchen incorporated a rotating diving bezel.

The example that we offer here is a later version from the 1970s, notable for its stick hands (rather than the broad arrow hands found on earlier examples). With sharp faceted lugs and an attractive color way, this is a chronograph worthy of accompanying you to the farthest reaches of the world. Maybe even to the South Pole.
