Nivada Ref. 36110 Cal. FE 140 C, 1976

Mint Champagne Dial with Red Seconds Hand

The dial is the most eye-catching feature of this Nivada. Its mint champagne tone gives the watch a fresh and unusual appearance, while the bold Arabic numeral indexes make the layout easy to read. The vivid red central seconds hand adds a strong visual accent and gives the watch a more dynamic personality than a standard vintage dress watch.

Compact 34mm Case with 1970s Proportions

The case measures approximately 34mm without the crown and 40mm from lug to lug, giving the watch a compact but well-balanced wrist presence. The stainless steel case with chromed finish has a clean vintage profile, making it suitable for collectors who prefer smaller, elegant Swiss watches rather than oversized modern designs.

Manual-Wind FE 140 C Movement

Inside is the FE 140 C manual-winding movement, fully serviced and ready for regular use with normal vintage-watch care. The movement features 17 jewels and Antichoc shock protection, adding practical durability to the traditional hand-wound mechanical character. This makes the watch appealing for collectors who enjoy the daily winding experience of a vintage Swiss mechanical watch.

Minimalist Layout Without Date

The absence of a date complication gives the dial a cleaner and more symmetrical appearance. This simple time-only format keeps the focus on the mint champagne dial, Arabic numerals and red seconds hand. The result is a vintage Nivada dress watch that feels elegant, readable and visually distinctive.

Restored and Ready to Wear

This Nivada Ref. 36110 is presented as a restored vintage men’s dress watch and is paired with a new high-quality leather strap. The combination of a serviced manual-wind movement, compact case size and unusual dial color makes it a strong choice for collectors looking for an affordable vintage Nivada with real 1970s style.
