Male watches Nivada Grenchen F77 Chrono Mecaquartz Grey 38 mm

The F77 has established its place in our modern collection, so its evolution into a chronograph was natural and faithful to its chronograph DNA. As the F77 has never existed as a Chrono Mecaquartz before, this is not a reissue – it is an entirely new creation. The original F77's distinctive blue woven dial meets a compact 38 mm case, two subdials and a hybrid VK64 mecaquartz movement to create a chronograph for everyday wear with plenty of character.

The F77 Chrono Mecaquartz Grey retains the texture that made the original F77 instantly recognisable. The grey dial plays with the light, while two subdials, applied indices and baton hands provide a sharp, highly legible appearance. The integrated 38 mm steel case, riveted bezel and bevelled lugs remain faithful to the F77 silhouette – now complemented by pushers that emphasise its sporty chronograph character.

Inside is the mecaquartz movement VK64, a hybrid calibre combining the accuracy of a quartz module with a mechanical chronograph. Quartz handles timekeeping for maximum reliability, while the chronograph offers a smoothly moving central seconds hand and a precise feel when starting, stopping and resetting. With an approximately three-year battery life and no need for winding, it provides the practicality of a quartz watch alongside the tactile enjoyment of a mechanical chronograph.
