Croton (Nivada Gretchen) is a brand with a rich Swiss watchmaking history, best known for producing robust yet stylish watches in the mid-20th century. The Aquamatic line in particular was marketed as a reliable, water-resistant automatic, making it an accessible yet quality choice for the everyday wearer.
This example features a gold-plated case measuring approximately 34mm, giving it a classic mid-century dress watch presence. The gold dial shows a crosshair linen like texture with applied Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9, paired with faceted indices that catch the light beautifully. Slim dauphine hands and a center seconds hand complete the elegant, understated design.
