Nivada Grenchen F77, Date

Description

Available with an integrated 316L stainless steel bracelet, or a black canvas strap with Velcro closure, the F77 has been reissued in 37mm to remain faithful to the original piece. It is equipped with a ‘carbon effect’ basket weave dial with substantial baton indexes. The baton-style hour and minute echo the clean sleekness of the steel case. At 12.65mm makes it an extremely fine piece to wear. Four references open the ball with two dial colors: black or blue dial with or without date window. The F77 is powered by a Swiss made SOPROD P024 automatic movement, available with or without date (without ghost position), with a power reserve of 38 hours.

Nivada Grenchen is launching nothing short of a democratic revolution. While ‘sport chic’ steel watches with integrated bracelets are either waiting list-only or breaking price records at auctions, the F77 is a Swiss Made reissue of a 1977 classic that is uncompromising on design and finish quality!

With its basket weave dial, fully integrated steel bracelet, and octagonal bezel, the slim and sleek F77 has the typical look of the sport watches from the 70’s. Nivada Grenchen’s F77, too, is a very rare vintage piece, almost impossible to find. Its design cleverly plays with contrasting shapes: a round dial framed by an octagonal bezel that rests on a circular edge. The aesthetic cues and codes are all there.

Marble shatters and iron bends, but our love for steel watches is as strong as ever. Probably no other metal is more popular for wristwatches today. In reissuing the F77, Nivada Grenchen is opening a new chapter in its unfurling history – perhaps one of the most consequential.
