FREDERIQUE CONSTANT
Classic Worldtimer Manufacture
NOW WITH A NEW GREEN DIAL AND STRAP and a polished stainless steel case,
Frederique Constant’s 42mm Classic Worldtimer Manufacture is an attractive and
user-friendly addition to one’s wrist, wherever your travels may take you.
As with the formerly introduced rose gold-plated and brown-dial version, this
new Classic Worldtimer Manufacture, set to be officially released at Baselworld 2018
in mid-March, has a finely rendered world map on the dial and employs two sepa-
rate discs. One disc reveals twenty-four cities for worldwide timekeeping on the outer
rim of the dial, and a 24-hour ring with day/night indication is adjacent. Hand-polished
silver-colored hands with a white luminescent treatment traverse the dial, while luminous
indexes mark the hours. The date counter is at 6 o’clock.
The in-house designed, developed and produced FC-718 allows the Worldtimer’s functions,
as well as the date, to be quickly and easily adjusted via the crown, thus requiring no additional
pushbuttons on the watchcase. The movement is expertly decorated with perlage and circular
Côtes de Genève, visible through the open caseback, and it offers 42 hours of power reserve. The
watch is fitted on a green alligator leather strap with white stitching. Price: $4,195.
