Get a taste of Nivada Grenchen's sturdy craftsmanship with these reliable picks for best Nivada Grenchen watches.
1. Nivada Grenchen F77 Lapis Lazuli
Nail the sporty chic look with this accurate reissue of the iconic F77, which was inspired by an even more iconic timepiece, the Royal Oak from Audemars Piguet.
The F77 has a 37mm case that works for most wrists, softened octagonal bezel, domed sapphire crystal, and blocky applied indices, all of which deliver on the vintage look. It runs on an ETA-based automatic movement, the SOPROD P024, which assures a power reserve of 38 hours. With a depth rating of 100m, the watch is ready for a swim.
You have a lovely selection of dials. The standard option is a basket weave dial, but if you need something with more pizzazz, pick a stone-dialled variant such as the stunning Lapis Lazuli displayed here.
2. Nivada Grenchen Super Antarctic 3.6.9 Tropical
A sporty, time-only 100m strap monster that looks at home in any setting is an easy choice for a daily wearer, and the Super Antarctic 3.6.9 fits the bill. Its subtly aged visage paired with matching lumed accents is a treat for those who appreciate fauxtina.
Nivada Grenchen has once again favoured the SOPROD P024 movement with this watch. Your dial options are limited to black or brown. Both colours have a charm of their own, but the caramel-coloured dial with a brown-racing strap seems to lure us often.
3. Nivada Grenchen Antarctic Spider
Call this a sporty dress watch or a dressy sports watch. It doesn't matter. What does matter is that you'll turn heads easily with this vintage strap monster featuring an unusual dial inspired by a sea spider.
The dial has eight strategically placed vertical baton indices that connect with eight "spider legs" converging at the centre of the dial. A crosshair ending at 3, 6, 9, and 12 intersects this arrangement. The only other elements are the Nivada Grenchen signature at 9 o'clock balanced by a date window at 3 o'clock.
The 100m water-resistant Antarctic Spider runs on the popular SOPROD P024 Swiss movement.
4. Nivada Grenchen F77 Anthracite Titanium
This lightweight, gently brushed version of the iconic F77 is how you forward to the past in style. Its biggest differentiator from the standard F77 (basket weave) version and other stone dialled-versions is the grade 5 titanium used for the bracelet - which is why we've included in our list. This limits the weight of the watch to a mere 86g.
Wondering if the other specs are the same across the F77 series? Yes, they are. The highlights include a 37mm case, SOPROD P024 movement, 38 hours of power reserve, and 100m water resistance.
5. Nivada Grenchen Chronosport Cream Luminova
Add a sturdy stainless steel watch to your wrist with the Nivada Grenchen Chronosport. This 38mm Valjoux 7750-powered watch packs a powerful reserve of 42 hours and water resistance of 200m. It's dial, which is inspired by designs from legendary dial manufacturer Jean Singer, is surrounded by a techymeter bezel.
Two embossed sub-dials, fading seamlessly from taupe from khaki, enhanced by the dial’s unique aesthetic. Positioned at 12 o’clock for minute tracking and 9 o’clock for seconds, they create a dynamic visual balance.
With plenty of strap options available, you're sure to find a combination that speaks to you. You can even opt for your preferred version of Luminova on the indexes and hands including Cream and White.
6. Nivada Grenchen White Pacman - Depthmaster 14105A
If bold and functional is the look you're going for, you may find a match in the SOPROD P024-powered Depthmaster "Pacman." One look at the jagged indices on the dial will tell you why it has earned the "Pacman" nickname. The unofficial moniker, based on a video game character, came from watch enthusiasts, and eventually the brand ran with it.
With a whopping 1000m of water resistance, the Depthmaster qualifies as a "superdiver." What's more impressive than its high depth rating is that unlike other superdivers, the Depthmaster delivers its magic in a fairly compact 39mm form fitted with an automatic helium escape valve at a little over $2000.
