A golden revival of a 1977 icon. The F77 Mark II Gold is where vintage charisma meets modern precision. Inspired by the golden era of integrated sports watches, this edition reimagines Nivada Grenchen’s 1977 classic with a bold new twist: an 18K yellow gold-plated case paired with a natural black onyx dial. The result? A wrist presence that feels both retro and strikingly contemporary. The polished and satin-brushed surfaces dance in the light, while the deep black of the genuine onyx dial evokes a solar eclipse — a subtle, hypnotic contrast against the gold-plated Dauphine hands and applied indices, enhanced with white Super-Luminova for low-light visibility.
