The Nivada Grenchen F77 is an integrated bracelet sports watch first drawn in 1977, when sharp lines, geometric cases and bracelets built into the case defined the Swiss sports watch. Its angular case, its octagonal bezel held by eight screws and its steel bracelet that flows out of the case are still the base of every model. Today's F77 continues that design with sapphire crystal, Swiss movements and 100 m water resistance, in two generations: MK1 and MK2.
On an integrated bracelet watch, the bracelet does not attach to classic lugs: its first links are shaped to continue the lines of the case, so case and bracelet read as one piece. The style took off in the 1970s, when Swiss brands gave the steel sports watch sharper, more architectural shapes. The F77 was Nivada Grenchen's answer, with a faceted case, an integrated bracelet and textured dials.
The design comes from 1977, the build is current:
• Sapphire crystal: double-domed and scratch resistant.
• Swiss automatic movement: the Soprod P024 on most models, with a 38-hour power reserve.
• 100 m water resistance: made for everyday wear.
• Screw-down crown and solid caseback.
Renowned for its exceptional strength and lightweight properties, Titanium Grade 5 sets the standard for durability and comfort in watchmaking. With a composition of approximately 90% titanium, 6% aluminum, and 4% vanadium, this alloy offers unparalleled performance and resilience.
Originally designed and manufactured in Grenchen, Switzerland, the F77 stays true to Nivada Grenchen’s watchmaking roots. It is powered by the Swiss-made Soprod P024 automatic movement, reflecting the brand’s commitment to precision, authenticity, and quality.
Built for everyday versatility, the F77 features a 100 m (10 ATM) water resistance and a screw-down crown ready for water in all its forms, whether liquid or solid.
When the F77 came back in 2023, the first series sold out quickly, and Nivada Grenchen took the design further with the Titanium Meteorite edition. Its case is in lightweight Grade 5 titanium and its dial is cut from genuine meteorite, so the Widmanstätten pattern is different on every watch. It brings together a material from space and the 1970s lines of the F77, and remains one of the most talked-about versions of the watch.
• Case: 37 mm wide and 12.65 mm thick, the closest to the 1977 proportions.
• Dial: basket-weave dial with slim baton indices, as on the original F77, and stone dials.
• Materials: stainless steel, Grade 5 titanium and black ceramic, with lapis lazuli, aventurine, meteorite and smoked brown dials.
• Sizes: 38 mm and 41 mm.
• Thickness: 12.2 mm on the 38 mm, against 12.65 mm on the MK1, for a slimmer profile.
• Bracelet: redesigned integrated bracelet, more comfortable on the wrist.
• Hands: Dauphine or baton hands, depending on the model.
• Drilled lugs: swap the bracelet for a canvas Velcro or rubber strap in seconds.
• Unchanged: double-domed sapphire crystal and 100 m water resistance.
The F77 has been reviewed by Fratello, Time+Tide, Monochrome, Worn & Wound, WatchGecko and Hypebeast. Among integrated bracelet sports watches, it stands out for its 1970s lines, its stone and meteorite dials and its Swiss movements.
The F77 is a Swiss integrated bracelet sports watch, first drawn by Nivada Grenchen in 1977 and continued since 2023. It has an angular case, an octagonal bezel held by eight screws and a steel bracelet built into the case, in two generations: the 37 mm MK1 and the 38 and 41 mm MK2.
A watch whose bracelet is designed as part of the case: the first links continue the lines of the case instead of attaching to separate lugs. The style became popular with Swiss steel sports watches in the 1970s, the decade the F77 was born.
The MK1 measures 37 mm and 12.65 mm thick, with a basket-weave dial and slim baton indices, closest to the 1977 design. The MK2 comes in 38 mm, 12.2 mm thick, and 41 mm, with more curved and drilled lugs, a reworked bracelet and Dauphine or baton hands. Both have double-domed sapphire crystal and 100 m water resistance.
Most models use the Swiss automatic Soprod P024, with a 38-hour power reserve. The Open Heart models use the Soprod M100BV, the 100 Years editions the La Joux-Perret G101 automatic, and the F77 Chrono the VK64 meca-quartz chronograph movement. See all our Swiss automatic watches.
