The Watch

The Autochron Mecaquartz 77001Q watch by Nivada Grenchen is a model that marries elegance with performance. The cushion-shaped case measures 38.00 mm in diameter and 15.70 mm in thickness. Crafted from 316L stainless steel, it showcases a striking alternation of brushed and polished finishes that underscores its sophisticated look. The case integrates a bi-directional bezel fitted with luminescent markers, providing easy access to the watch's functions even in low-light conditions. The crown is flanked by two pushers, reinforcing its signature chronographic design.

The Dial

The dial of this watch is a true technological jewel. Its beige and black tones are enhanced by a sandblasted finish, lending the whole piece a subtle, refined texture that catches the light harmoniously. The hands and indices are treated to be luminescent, ensuring perfect legibility in all conditions. The minute track is clearly defined, enabling precise timekeeping at a glance. The watch features three additional sub-dials, neatly aligned, including one for small seconds, one for 12-hour counting, and one for 60-minute counting, supporting its chronograph functions. A discreetly positioned date window keeps you informed at a glance. The entire dial is protected by a domed sapphire crystal, offering unmatched scratch resistance and an excellent aesthetic finish.

The Movement

This watch houses a TMI VK67 Mecaquartz movement, a mechanism that combines the precision of quartz with the appeal of mechanical movements. This hybrid system uses a quartz oscillator for accurate timekeeping, while the chronograph functions are driven by a mechanical mechanism, delivering the visual impression of an automatic movement with a smooth-sweeping chronograph hand. The complications include a tachymeter, enabling the measurement of a moving object's speed - adding a practical and sophisticated dimension to this exceptional timepiece. Available functions include hours, minutes, small seconds, date, and chronograph functions, reflecting outstanding technical mastery.

The Bracelet

The bracelet is available in several materials to suit any style and preference: 316L stainless steel for a modern, robust look; rubber for a sportier, flexible feel; or perforated leather for a touch of sophistication and comfort. The lug width is 20 mm, ideal for a perfect wrist fit. Clasp options include a classic pin buckle or a deployment clasp, both providing a secure and comfortable hold. The variety of materials and bracelet finishes - brushed, polished, and perforated leather - offers a wealth of choices to personalize the style of this exceptional timepiece.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 20 atmospheres, this watch is engineered to handle extreme conditions. It can be worn for swimming, scuba diving, or intense water sports. This feature ensures the internal components remain fully protected from moisture and pressure, even in the most demanding aquatic environments.
