Nivada Ref. 36110 Cal. FE 140 C, 1976

The red central seconds hand gives Nivada Ref. 36110 an immediate point of interest against its champagne-toned beige dial. As one of the watches from 1976, this men's dress watch uses the hand-wound FE 140 C. Bold Arabic numerals, a compact 34 mm case and a new leather strap give the restored watch a clear, distinctive presentation.

Champagne tone and red seconds

The dial has the unusual mint champagne tone that defines this example's appearance. Bold Arabic numeral indices make the time display easy to read, while the vivid red seconds hand introduces a strong accent against the softer dial color. The central hands keep the layout familiar.

There is no date display. That time-only arrangement leaves the dial balanced and gives the numerals and red seconds hand room to stand out without a calendar aperture interrupting the design.

Compact case and leather strap

The case measures approximately 34 mm excluding the crown and approximately 40 mm from lug to lug. Those dimensions give the watch a compact, well-balanced wrist presence. The stainless steel case has a chromed finish and a clean vintage profile, with an acrylic crystal over the dial.

A new, high-quality leather strap accompanies the restored watch. Its fresh presentation complements the smaller case while keeping the dial's color and bold numerals as the main visual attraction.

The FE 140 C movement

The FE 140 C is a manual-winding mechanical movement with 17 jewels and Antichoc shock protection. Regular winding is part of using manual-wind watches, and this movement's shock-protection system is a practical feature of its mechanical construction. Hours, minutes and seconds are all displayed centrally.

Restoration and service

This used Nivada is presented in restored vintage condition. Its movement is fully serviced and ready for regular use with normal vintage-watch care, and the watch comes with a 12-month warranty.
