Nivada Grenchen F77 Titanium Anthracite

The F77 collection first made its debut in the 1970s, during a period of bold experimentation in watch design. The original F77 stood out for its integrated bracelet, angular case, and distinctive dial patterns, embodying the spirit of that era's watchmaking trends. Its robust design and streamlined aesthetic appealed to those seeking both functionality and a modern look. As part of Nivada Grenchen's broader legacy, the F77 quickly became one of their defining models, resonating with watch enthusiasts for its mix of style and performance. Though the original F77 was eventually phased out, its cult following endured, leading the brand to reintroduce the collection in 2023.

Design And Features

The modern re-edition honours the iconic design of its predecessor while incorporating technological advancements, keeping the spirit of the 1970s alive with a contemporary twist. One of the most significant updates is the use of Grade five titanium. This shift has resulted in an exceptionally comfortable watch, weighing just 86 grams, compared to the heavier stainless steel version. A defining feature of the F77 is its striking dial options, which include the classic basket weave pattern alongside more exotic iterations like lapis lazuli, aventurine, and meteorite. Each material brings a unique character to the watch, with natural patterns that ensure no two pieces are exactly the same. The meteorite dial, with its metallic grey geometric textures, adds a sense of timelessness, while the lapis lazuli and aventurine versions offer a connection to the earth’s natural beauty.

The raised indexes and Super-LumiNova hands add depth and enhance visibility, while the integrated bracelet and 37mm case contribute to the sleek and contemporary look. The F77 is powered by the Soprod P024 automatic movement, ensuring precision and reliability with its 28,800 vph frequency and 38-hour power reserve. Available in both date and no-date versions, the watch offers flexibility to suit different preferences. The integrated bracelet provides a streamlined, modern aesthetic, while features like 100m water resistance, a screw-down crown, and sapphire crystal with AR coating ensure durability.
