In 2009, Frederique Constant began a partnership with the Riva
Historical Society. The goal of this charitable group is to help the
owners conserve these vintage vessels in the best possible way.
Frederique Constant commemorates the classic runabouts with an
annual release of a nautically inspired limited edition watch of the
same name.
Both versions of the Runabout watches feature a 43-mm case, in
either stainless steel, or plated in rose gold. The sapphire crystal back
is engraved with the flag of the Riva Historical Society and allows a
view of the in-house FC-303 caliber. This self-winding movement
beats at 28 800 with a 42-hour power reserve. Surprisingly, the water
resistance in this robust case only achieves a nominal 3atm rating.
Each of the 2,888 pieces is delivered in a gift box that includes a
miniature wooden powerboat that pays homage to the original
runabouts of the 1920s. $1,550 in Steel and $1,895 in Rose gold plate.
