Nivada Grenchen F77 MK2 SST Lapis Lazuli Dial 68048A77

The F77 Stainless Steel Lapis Lazuli features a dial crafted from genuine lapis lazuli, a deep blue semi-precious stone prized for its rich color and natural golden flecks. Each dial is unique, with patterns reminiscent of a starry night sky, offering a dynamic visual experience that changes with the lighting. This natural stone dial, combined with applied silver indexes and baton-style hands, pays homage to the minimalist aesthetic of the original 1977 model.

Nivada Grenchen is launching nothing short of a democratic revolution. While ‘sport chic’ steel watches with integrated bracelets are either waiting list-only or breaking price records at auctions, the F77 is a Swiss Made reissue of a 1977 classic that is uncompromising on design and finish quality!

Nivada Grenchen, established in 1926 in Grenchen, Switzerland, quickly became renowned for its rugged tool watches that pushed the boundaries of horological innovation. The brand solidified its reputation with the introduction of the Antarctic in 1950, the first waterproof automatic watch. This timepiece gained fame when it accompanied members of the U.S. Navy's Operation Deep Freeze I during their South Pole expedition from 1955 to 1956.



In 1961, Nivada Grenchen launched the Chronomaster, a versatile waterproof chronograph designed for aviators, divers, and sports enthusiasts. The company continued its innovative streak with the release of the Depthomatic in 1964, the first diver's watch featuring a depth indicator, followed by the Depthmaster in 1965, capable of withstanding pressures up to 1,000 meters.

After a period of dormancy, Nivada Grenchen experienced a rebirth in 2018, reintroducing two of its most iconic models—the Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver and the Antarctic—at the forefront of its revival. The relaunch paved the way for the brand’s enduring appeal among modern watch enthusiasts while honoring its storied heritage.
