The main difference is straightforward: the Antarctic Spider 35mm has a date and an eight-line dial pattern; the Super Antarctic 35mm is time-only, with a matte black dial and luminous indexes. Both were reported at launch with a 35 mm steel case and a hand-wound Landeron 21 movement rated for a 36-hour power reserve.
How the Antarctic Spider and Super Antarctic differ
| Feature | Antarctic Spider 35mm | Super Antarctic 35mm |
|---|---|---|
| Display | Date | Time only; no date |
| Dial | Silver-gray or black, with eight lines radiating from the center toward the applied hour markers | Matte black, with white or beige luminous indexes |
| Movement | Manual-wind Landeron 21 | Manual-wind Landeron 21 |
| Reported power reserve | 36 hours, per 2024 launch coverage | 36 hours, per 2024 launch coverage |
| Reported case | 35 mm, 316L steel, polished and brushed; 10.1 mm overall thickness | 35 mm, 316L steel, polished and brushed; 10.1 mm overall thickness |
| Crystal and caseback | Sapphire crystal; gold penguin medallion on the caseback | Sapphire crystal; gold penguin medallion on the caseback |
The dimensions and movement specifications in the table are those reported in 2024 launch coverage, not independently verified measurements. A Spider-specific lug-to-lug measurement is not established in the cited sources, so do not assume measurements for a different Antarctic 35 mm model apply.

Which one suits your preferences?
Choose the Spider for its date and distinctive dial
The Spider is the more visually distinctive of the two: its eight radiating lines link the dial’s center to the applied hour markers. Its date display also makes it the practical choice if you want a calendar indication on the watch.
Choose the Super Antarctic for a simpler, time-only face
The Super Antarctic has no date, leaving a matte black dial with luminous indexes. Choose it if you prefer that cleaner layout over the Spider’s radiating pattern. Both models require manual winding as part of ordinary use.

Current price and availability
Nivada Grenchen’s collection page currently displays the Antarctic Spider Black 35 mm and Silver 35 mm variants from $945. That is a displayed starting price, not a guaranteed price for every dial, strap or bracelet configuration; check the live listing for the exact version and its availability: Nivada Grenchen automatic collection.
A 2024 launch report quoted $850 for the Spider and Super Antarctic 35 mm models. Treat that as historical launch pricing, not a current offer. The cited sources do not establish a current Super Antarctic price or stock status.

Nivada Grenchen’s press kit says the original Antarctic Spider was produced from 1963 through the 1970s, and describes its defining dial feature as eight lines radiating from the center to the applied hour markers. This is the manufacturer’s historical account. The Spider’s history should not be conflated with broader claims about the Antarctic family: the available sources do not establish that the Spider itself was worn on Operation Deep Freeze.
Quick Recap
What to check before buying
- Confirm whether you want the Spider’s date display or the Super Antarctic’s time-only layout.
- Check the precise dial color and whether the Super Antarctic indexes are white or beige.
- Verify the listed case dimensions and the strap or bracelet supplied with the exact configuration; the cited launch reporting does not establish a Spider-specific lug-to-lug measurement.
- Check the live listing for current price and stock. The manufacturer page’s displayed starting price and individual configurations can change.
- Account for manual winding: both models use the Landeron 21 movement according to the 2024 launch specifications.
