Nivada Grenchen F77 MK2 38mm Mens Watch White

Ref. 68046A77-DR

The original F77 arrived in 1977 as Nivada Grenchen's answer to the integrated-bracelet moment that the Royal Oak had set in motion — an octagonal bezel, eight exposed screws, a case and bracelet conceived as a single architectural object. The Mark II, released after the brand's 2020 relaunch, is not a replica of that watch but a considered revision of the 2023 revival: 1mm wider at 38mm, nearly half a millimetre thinner at 12.2mm, with lugs recut to curve more closely around the wrist and drilled through so the bracelet or strap can be swapped without sending it anywhere. The white dial is tressed — an embossed basket-weave that catches raking light and gives the surface movement without colour, the kind of texture that photographs badly and reads far better in person. Dauphine hands replace the baton hands of the earlier model, and with no date window the dial reads cleanly across its full width. The SOPROD P024 sits behind all of this with its balance wheel visible at six o'clock, a small transparency that rewards attention without performing for it. At 42 hours of reserve, per Nivada Grenchen's own figures, it will sit unworn over a weekend and restart without complaint.
