Since its launch in 2012, the Classic Worldtimer Manufacture has established itself as one of the flagship models of the Maison Frederique Constant and a new icon of contemporary watchmaking. Today, the Maison reimagines its flagship model through three new iterations. New Manufacture FC-719 movement. Power reserve extended to 72 hours. New 40 mm diameter case. New gem-set version, limited and individually numbered to 88 pieces. New date-free, streamlined dials. New colours. New steel bracelet. With this new version of this iconic model, Frederique Constant takes a bold step.
NEW FC-719 MANUFACTURE MOVEMENT
The new FC-719 movement was designed within Frederique Constant workshops. The challenge was to maintain the reliability of its predecessor while at the same time improving its technical characteristics.
NEW 72-HOUR POWER-RESERVE
Developed on a proven technical basis, the FC-719 movement has seen its power reserve optimised. Formerly 38 hours, it now has a capacity of 72 hours. This optimisation is made possible by a longer mainspring and a revised alloy composition.
NEW DIAMOND-SET & LIMITED EDITION
The new Classic Worldtimer Manufacture offers an exclusive version set with 70 diamonds on the bezel and 12 diamond-set indexes on the dial, totalling 0.785 ct. A limited and individually engraved series of only 88 pieces – like 1988, the year Frederique Constant was founded.
NEW 40-MM DIAMETER CASE
Two other non-set options are available for this new 40-mm diameter case. The second is a must-have of the collection that the Manufacture has decided to continue: navy blue oceans and city disc, and grey grained relief continents.
NEW 5-LINK BRACELET
This resolutely contemporary classic is presented exclusively on a new interchangeable five-link steel bracelet. Three links are satin-finished and alternate with two mirror-polished links.
NEW DATE-FREE DIAL
The third variation also features a date-free dial. A gradient blue for the oceans and taupe grained relief continents. Here, applied indexes highlight a white city disc. The effect offers striking relief, as well as subtle fluctuations of light. The alligator strap is also interchangeable.
