The Geneva-based Manufacture revisits its flagship model by blending a blue gradient dial with striking embossed continents. This version prioritizes the essentials with a fluid reading of the 24 time zones, supported by the 72-hour power reserve of the new caliber FC-719. Its redesigned case and interchangeable alligator strap make it an ideal travel companion.
THE EXCELLENCE OF WATCHMAKING
Watches in the Manufacture collection are entirely designed, developed, produced, assembled, adjusted, and encased in our workshops in Plan-les-Ouates, Geneva, Switzerland. Their creation requires extensive craftsmanship, with every detail meticulously finished by hand to satisfy the highest standards of fine watchmaking connoisseurs.
TRAVEL-INSPIRED: AT THE HEART OF A REIMAGINED ICON
Since 2012, the Classic Worldtimer Manufacture has established itself as a cornerstone of Frederique Constant. Today, the Maison dares a modern reinterpretation: featuring a new movement, extended autonomy, and a refined design—a timeless invitation to explore the world.
AN EMBLEMATIC MANUFACTURE TIMEPIECE
Fully conceived, developed, and assembled within our manufacture in Plan-les-Ouates, this timepiece embodies the entrepreneurial spirit and “Swiss Made” expertise. This icon now enters a new era of performance with the FC-719 Manufacture Caliber, the 35th in-house movement developed by the Maison. This high-watchmaking engine offers an extended power reserve of 72 hours, ensuring reliability and convenience for today’s globetrotters. Housed in a polished case with optimized dimensions, this version prioritizes contemporary elegance and perfect ergonomics on the wrist, staying true to the Maison’s mission of providing exceptional horology with high added value.
VERSATILITY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP
To complete its sophisticated allure, the watch is fitted with a navy blue alligator strap with ecru topstitching, combining flexibility and refinement. Thanks to the new “Quick release” interchangeable strap system, this timepiece adapts effortlessly to every moment of life. Through the transparent case back, enthusiasts can admire the meticulous finishing of the FC-719 movement: Perlage decoration, circular Côtes de Genève, and a satin-finished oscillating weight—a true reflection of the artisanal excellence of the men and women who have built the Manufacture since 1988.
THE WORLD IN A NEW LIGHT
The “no-date” dial—a signature of this new collection—offers a clean and masterful view of the 24 time zones. The center of the dial features a deep blue gradient set against a dark grey embossed world map, symbolizing the invitation to travel so dear to Frederique Constant. The ingenuity of its Worldtimer complication lies in its absolute simplicity: all functions are adjusted via a single crown, with no additional push-pieces. The 24-hour disc allows for an instant distinction between day and night thanks to a light blue and dark blue bicolor indicator, making universal time readable at a glance.
