Nivada Cal. FE 140-1C
A slim case, original silver dial and hand-wound FE 140-1C define one of Nivada's men's dress watches from the 1970s. Its simple central time display and practical crown suit the restrained design. The watch retains its original presentation and is in excellent working condition, with a fully serviced movement and a 12-month warranty.
Original silver dial
The Nivada signature identifies a clean, balanced dial. Central hands show hours, minutes and seconds, while a date display adds a calendar function. The silver color and straightforward arrangement preserve the dial's understated dress-watch appearance.
The original presentation is an important part of this example's character. The dial remains easy to read and suits both casual and more formal clothing without relying on elaborate decoration.
Slim case and practical crown
The case has a slim side profile and the traditional proportions of dress watches. A practical crown accompanies the central time display, and an acrylic crystal covers the dial. Its elegant shape works with the simple layout to give the watch a comfortable vintage wrist presence.
Hand-wound FE 140-1C
The FE 140-1C is a manual-winding mechanical movement. Regular winding forms part of wearing manual-wind watches, with this movement driving the familiar central indications. This direct mechanical routine is a useful part of the Nivada's appeal.
Originality and working condition
This is a used, all-original watch in excellent working condition. The movement is fully serviced, and the watch comes with a 12-month warranty.
