The Nivada Grenchen x Worn & Wound Datomaster VK63 V3 is the third collaboration between the two brands in as many years. Originally designed to accompany a Valjoux 72-powered chronograph, the VK63, with its Sii VK Meca-Quartz movement, provided a fun and affordable but equally stylish counterpart. The VK63 model stands alone for the third collaboration, featuring a unique, head-turning colorway.
Inspired by mid-twentieth-century automobiles, the dial of the Datomaster features a cool, pale mint base. At the center is an unexpected circle of a darker, greener teal tone that extends out, encompassing the sub-seconds at six—sub-dials at three and nine for 24-hour and 60-minute counters cut through the center, emphasizing their functions. Dark gray indexes add contrast for legibility, while a deep purple adds a surprising play of color. An unconventional take on a racing chronograph dial, the Nivada Grenchen x Worn & Wound Datomaster VK63 V3 will stand out in a collection.
The Datomaster's case measures 36mm x 43.5mm x 12mm and is made of stainless steel, which gives it a classic chronograph fit and feel. Paired with a brown rally strap, but for the movement inside, one could think they are wearing an “exotic” dial chrono from the 60s. The Datomaster is limited to 150 pieces worldwide.
