Simplicity as a Statement
200 pieces, a 38.5 mm case and a polar-white lacquer dial. Nivada Grenchen’s F77 Polar White MK1 — made with Le Petit Poussoir — rejects ornament for clarity. The result reads like a daily classic: compact proportions, a restrained handset and an unadorned face that stays legible at a glance.
What’s New — The Details
The case measures 38.5 mm across, 11.8 mm thick and 46 mm lug-to-lug, in brushed and polished stainless steel. A slightly domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment covers the dial. Applied baton markers are filled with BGW9 Super-LumiNova. The hour and minute hands are slim dauphine shapes. A glossy black minute track and a discreet date at 6 o’clock finish the layout.
- Movement: Sellita SW200-1, regulated to 28,800 vph
- Power reserve: ~38–42 hours
- Caseback: signed, numbered exhibition back with circular-grained rotor
- Extras: screw-down crown, 100 m water resistance
“We wanted a watch that reads clean on the wrist — something people would reach for every day,”
The movement is visible through the exhibition caseback, where the numbered MK1 designation and individual edition number sit on the rim. Finishing is tasteful rather than flashy. Practicality is built in: a screw-down crown and 100 m of water resistance make the F77 suitable for daily wear and occasional wet weather.
Packaging, Straps and Limited Edition Perks
The run is deliberately small — 200 individually numbered pieces. Each watch ships with a co-branded travel pouch, a grey sailcloth strap and a complementary NATO strap. The caseback engraving highlights the MK1 run, a detail that will matter to buyers tracking first-iteration releases from influencer collaborations.
Why It Matters
Priced at €990 (about $1,090) and available through Le Petit Poussoir’s platform and select Nivada retailers from mid‑May, the Polar White MK1 targets buyers who want a Swiss automatic with restrained styling and limited-run status. For someone hunting a usable, low-key limited edition with credible mechanics, this hits the brief. If you collect first-iteration co-branded pieces, move quickly — 200 pieces and a clear design language usually mean short availability.
