Frederique Constant Classic Worldtimer Manufacture: New Limited Editions in Forest Green

Frederique Constant has expanded its Classic Worldtimer Manufacture collection to include two new limited editions in a striking forest green. These additions feature a world map dial, a date, and a manufacture movement, all housed in a 42mm steel or 18-carat rose gold case. With a user-friendly world time function and automatic winding, these watches offer a blend of aesthetics and practicality. Let’s take a closer look at these new models and what they have to offer.

Classic Worldtimer Manufacture: Case

The new Classic Worldtimer Manufacture comes in two case variations: one in stainless steel, limited to 718 pieces, and one in 18-carat rose gold, limited to 36 pieces. The steel case measures 42mm in diameter and features a polished finish, while the rose gold case exudes elegance with its warm hue. Both cases have a height of 12.5mm and are equipped with sapphire crystal on both the front and back, ensuring durability and scratch resistance. The transparent case back reveals the intricate mechanics of the movement, adorned with Côtes de Genève stripes and fine perlage. Additionally, the cases offer a water resistance of 50 metres, providing protection against splashes.

Classic Worldtimer Manufacture: Dial

The dial of the Classic Worldtimer Manufacture in forest green showcases a world map against a sunburst finish that changes with the light. The continents are depicted in high relief with a polished finish, contrasting with the oceans. Each hour marker is coated with Super-LumiNova, ensuring readability even in low light conditions. The hour and minute hands are also luminous. Notably, the city ring features the full names of the cities instead of abbreviations, adding to the user friendliness of the watch. The 24-hour disc is divided into a light section for day time and a dark green section for night time, eliminating the need for a separate day-night indicator. A date at 6 o’clock completes the dial, framed by a delicately grooved surround and featuring a matte date ring for easy readability.

Classic Worldtimer Manufacture: Movement

At the heart of the Classic Worldtimer Manufacture is the automatic movement FC-718. This in-house movement offers a power reserve of 38 hours and features a world time complication that allows the wearer to adjust the time zones via the crown. The movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and is equipped with 26 jewels. The sapphire case back provides a view of the mechanics, which are decorated with Côtes de Genève stripes and fine perlage.

Classic Worldtimer Manufacture: Strap

The Classic Worldtimer Manufacture comes with a dark green leather strap that complements the forest green dial. The strap is crafted from high-quality leather and features a croco pattern, adding a touch of luxury to the watch. It is equipped with a matching deployment clasp, ensuring secure and comfortable wear.

The Classic Worldtimer Manufacture in forest green is a limited edition with two case variations. The steel version is limited to 718 pieces and has a price of 4,395 euros.
