NWA: Early ’60s handwound Croton Nivada Grenchen; You can see the same DNA and design language shared with the original 1950 Antarctic, worn by Admiral Byrd during his famous 1955 - 1956 Antarctic expedition. Same size and case shape. Very similar hour markers and hands, all the way down to the blued seconds hand.

Thanks for the history lesson, Willard. I find Byrds story fascinating and now I know what watch he was wearing as well. Result.
