1940's Nivada Art-Deco Tank - Manual Wind

This 1940s Nivada Art-Deco Tank is understated elegance at its finest. Defined by its rectangular case and balanced proportions, it captures the geometric refinement that carried over from the Art Deco period into mid-century design.

The slim tank-style case wears beautifully on the wrist — refined, dressy, and timeless without feeling fragile. Its dial layout reflects the era’s preference for symmetry and restraint, allowing the watch to feel both vintage and enduringly modern.

Powered by a manual-wind mechanical movement, this piece offers the quiet charm of pre-automatic watchmaking. A simple daily wind keeps it running — a small ritual that connects you directly to a watch that’s been ticking for over 80 years.

Nivada built its reputation on reliable, well-crafted Swiss watches, and this example reflects that tradition with classic 1940s character.
