Nivada Grenchen Debuts F77 ChronoMecaquartz

Recently, the well-established Swiss watch brand Nivada Grenchen made waves in the watch industry with the introduction of its latest collection, the F77 ChronoMecaquartz. This new line pays homage to the enduring spirit of its classic sports watch model from the 1970s, the F77, while infusing modern technological advancements. This marks the first time the brand has introduced a chronograph model in the F77 series, a significant evolution for a timepiece that has already achieved notable acclaim in its automatic winding versions.

Design Evolution

The F77 ChronoMecaquartz is a fresh collection that follows the established design codes of the original F77. Unlike mere reproductions of classic models, these watches offer a contemporary flair tailored for today's active lifestyle. Three variations have been launched: a blue dial, a grey dial, and a distinctive carbon pattern dial. Each piece showcases the iconic 'woven texture' that has come to define the F77 series. The blue dial reflects light with a lively sheen, providing a sporty and refreshing aesthetic, while the grey dial exudes a sophisticated charm, accentuating the F77's characteristic texture. The carbon dial stands out as the most modern and aggressive offering, adding a new personality to the series.

Technical Specifications

The case of the new F77 ChronoMecaquartz features a robust 38mm casing made from 316L stainless steel, known for its durability and resistance to corrosion. The mixed polished and brushed finish not only enhances the visual appeal but also contributes to the overall texture of the watch. The bezel boasts a rivet design, emblematic of Nivada’s heritage, while the ergonomically shaped lugs embrace the wrist comfortably, creating an assertive yet compact silhouette.

Inside the watch, the SEIKO VK64 mecha-quartz movement provides an optimal balance between precision and the classic mechanical operation of the chronograph function. The chronograph's second hand glides smoothly across the dial, enhanced by a tactile click from the pushers, ensuring an enjoyable use experience. Complementing its technical craftsmanship, the watch is equipped with a double-domed sapphire crystal and offers water resistance up to 100 meters—perfect for daily wear.
