I love the looks of the nivada antarctic ! Do you hane any sub 1K suggestions ? Prefered size between 37 and 40 and with similar applied indices. Also the longines silver arrow is an option but discontinued :(

Well atleast I do not find it at local Ad's nor on longines website in switzerland. I have to check 2nd hand and also it is above budget anyway 😅

The Citizen C7 has similar indices where the Antarctic has numerals and is way below 1K, but slightly above 40mm.

Good suggestion. I've seen a few of them going reasonably cheaply on C24 over the last few months.

You’re in luck Mimo’s has a Silver Arrow if you are open to used!

Archimede 1950 has several varients that might hit the aesthetic you are looking for - as they are 1950s inspired.

1950-2 I think is closest:

I do not yet, I am familiar with the brand. Makes very well finished watches - really reasonable prices for made in Germany. Think Sinn 10 years ago.

The brand is owned by Ickler, the German watch case manufacturer, so Archimede cases are in house. Long history in watch manufacturing.

I have been looking at the 1950-4 or the Klassik as a watch to pick up soon. I would like to own an Archimede as I have a good impression of the brand.

Have you ever ordered from them ?

I own Sinn, Junghans, Nomos, and Stowa - so I am well down the German "Armbanduhr (watch) Rabbit Hole". So pretty well versed in German watch brands. Let us know what you get - with pics!!

I have yes! They are a nice jeweler out in California. I called him. He said if you add it to the cart you will be given multiple options for shipping/charges. He said the box is large and heavy. If you are not keen on shipping the original box he said you could save about $100. He will ship to Switzerland though!

I definitely will! I was thinking to scratch the watch virus about getting a laco flieger quartz model just for fun and to wear while traveling. I also love junghans a lot! Especially the max bill as (besides watches of course 😅) I am quite the minimalist and it would complement my style.

Wow so nice of you asking ! I have to consider border taxes as well. I will check their website and might get back to you with an update. So kind thank you!

No worries I figured its easier for me to call since I am in the US. Yeah doesn’t hurt to see what it adds up to when you put it in your cart.

Another sub $1000 option is Traska. Here is my mint chocolate chip looking one!
