Frederique
Constant
Unveils Newest Ode to
Austin-Healey
For seventeen summers Frederique Constant has released a new Vintage Rally limited edition series , which the Geneva-based watchmaker dedicates to collectors of classic Austin-Healey vintage automobiles . The annual debut rarely disappoints , and the 2021 releases are no exception . This 2021 highlight is an all-grey Vintage Rally Healey Automatic Small Seconds , with a range of the contemporary color on its dial , strap , steel case , index hour markers and hands .
The dressy 40mm watch sports the original Healey logo on the dial , just adjacent to the off-center small seconds hand at 9 o ’ clock . Around the decidedly matte dial is the flange displaying the sixty-minute scale . Frederique Constant has engraved each watch ’ s caseback with a Healey automobile in action . ( See next page for additional technical details ).
Frederique Constant will make 888 examples of the grey-dialed Vintage Rally Healey Automatic Small Seconds , with each arriving in a gift set alongside a miniature replica of a vintage Austin-Healy automobile .
