Back in 1977, Nivada Grenchen shook up the watch world with the release of the F77, one of the first watches to embrace the “sport-chic” trend. The elegant sports watch featured an octoganol bezel and integrated steel bracelet, and stood out for its alternating brushed and smooth surfaces, as well as its unique design.
Nivada Grenchen, in partnership with Guillaume Laidet, brought the F77 back in 2023, and after the massive success of its reissue, has now announced the F77 Mark II, which builds upon the success of the popular timepiece.
The F77 Mark II’s most prominent design update is its thinner case, which suits a variety of wrists and will appeal to collectors and enthusiasts, who have been clamoring for such an update. The F77 Mark II has been slimmed down to a thickness of 12.2mm.
Additional updates include a redesigned integrated bracelet, which features better ergonomics; the lugs have more bend now, to better fit the wrist. The updated bracelet can be swapped out for a Fabric Velcro or flat Rubber Delugs strap, for a more casual look.
Also new for this edition, the F77 Mark II is crafted with 316L steel with 18K yellow gold plating (7 microns), creating an eye-catching look. The deep black onyx dial, paired with gold-plated indices and hands with white Superluminova dots, is meant to evoke the feeling of a solar eclipse — and is sure to leave you star-struck.
Available in both yellow gold and stainless silver, the Nivada Grenchen F77 Mark II starts at $1,490.
