Introducing Nivada Grenchen Releases The F77 Chrysocoll

Founded in 1926, Nivada Grenchen has long been known for its robust tool watches and precision timekeeping. The Swiss brand gained recognition with models like the Antarctic, Depthmaster, and more. After a period of dormancy, Nivada Grenchen returned to the market with faithful reissues of its classic designs.

One of the brand’s most significant revivals is the F77 collection, a timepiece that originally debuted in 1977. With its integrated bracelet and sleek profile, the F77 was Nivada Grenchen’s answer to the luxury sports watch trend of the era. The collection was reintroduced in 2023 with a stainless steel model, followed by titanium and ceramic variants in 2024. Now, the brand expands the lineup with the F77 Chrysocoll Special Edition, created in collaboration with the brand’s German retailer, Chronofactum.

The new watch features a 37mm case crafted from 316L stainless steel, maintaining the sharp lines and thin profile of the original design. The case measures 12.6mm in thickness and is topped with a sapphire crystal that includes an anti-reflective coating for optimal clarity. The solid caseback ensures water resistance up to 100 meters, making it a reliable companion for daily wear.

The highlight of this edition is its unique dial made from Chrysocoll, a greenish-blue minor ore of copper. Given the natural variations in the stone, no two dials are identical, ensuring each piece is truly one of a kind. The dial features applied indices and hands, both treated with Super-LumiNova.

Like its predecessors, the watch is powered by the Soprod P024, an automatic movement that operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and provides a 38-hour power reserve. It is fitted with the collection’s signature integrated stainless steel bracelet, equipped with a double-folding clasp. The F77 Chrysocoll Special Edition is limited to 33 pieces and priced at €1,645, approximately AED 6,400.
