As it celebrates its 100th anniversary, Nivada Grenchen continues to strengthen its modern lineup with an expanded range of F77 Mk2 models. Inspired by a rare integrated-bracelet design from the brand’s archives, the F77 has evolved into a contemporary sports watch that balances vintage character with updated proportions and everyday versatility.

With this anniversary release, the F77 Mk2 retains its established technical foundation while significantly broadening its aesthetic offering.

Case and Wearability

The F77 Mk2 is housed in a 38 mm stainless steel case with a thickness of 12.20 mm, proportions that feel contemporary yet remain faithful to the restrained sizing of the original model. The Mk2 update introduced several refinements designed to enhance comfort and ergonomics. The lugs are now more noticeably downturned, allowing the watch to sit more naturally on a variety of wrist sizes, while the slightly slimmer profile improves overall wearability. In addition, drilled lug holes make strap or bracelet changes significantly easier, a practical touch appreciated by enthusiasts who enjoy switching configurations.

Finishing plays a key role in defining the watch’s character. Brushed surfaces dominate the flat areas of the case and bracelet, reinforcing its sporty nature, while polished chamfers and beveled edges add contrast and visual sharpness. The integrated bracelet remains central to the F77’s identity, delivering the cohesive and streamlined appearance associated with 1970s-inspired luxury sports watches.

Dial Variations: Texture and Stone

For its centenary expansion, Nivada Grenchen introduces an extensive selection of dial options, giving the F77 Mk2 a broader appeal.

The “tressed” or woven dials are available in black, grey, white, and blue. These textured surfaces create depth and reflect light dynamically, adding visual interest without compromising legibility. Depending on the configuration, the watch can be ordered with or without a date display, allowing buyers to choose between a cleaner, more symmetrical layout or the added practicality of a date complication. Applied hour markers sit atop the dial and are paired with Super-LumiNova dots for low-light visibility. Some versions feature white luminous material, while others use a warmer, yellow-toned Super-LumiNova that subtly enhances the vintage-inspired aesthetic.

Beyond the woven dials, the collection also includes four stone-dial options: blue aventurine, green aventurine, meteorite, and lapis lazuli. Each material introduces a distinctive personality. Aventurine dials offer a shimmering, almost starry effect, while meteorite dials display their natural crystalline patterns, making each piece unique. Lapis lazuli provides a rich blue tone often accented by natural flecks, creating a bold yet refined appearance. These stone variants elevate the visual presence of the F77 Mk2 and add a more expressive dimension to the collection.

Movement: Soprod P024

Powering all F77 Mk2 models is the Swiss-made Soprod P024 automatic movement. This caliber is known for its reliability and solid performance within this price segment. It offers automatic winding and, where applicable, a date function, ensuring dependable everyday functionality. The choice of the Soprod P024 aligns with the F77’s positioning as a robust and accessible mechanical sports watch.

Bracelet and Strap Options

The stainless steel integrated bracelet remains the defining configuration of the F77 Mk2, reinforcing its sporty and cohesive design language. Thanks to the drilled lug holes, however, changing straps is straightforward. In addition to the bracelet, Nivada Grenchen offers a textured canvas Velcro strap option, which gives the watch a more casual and contemporary look while increasing comfort and flexibility on the wrist.

Pricing and Availability

The F77 Mk2 anniversary models are priced between $1,160 and $1,360, depending on the chosen dial and configuration. The stone-dial versions sit at the higher end of this range due to the complexity of sourcing and finishing the natural materials. None of the new models are limited editions, ensuring that collectors and enthusiasts can select their preferred version without the pressure of restricted production numbers.
