Frederique Constant Classic Worldtimer Manufacture Forest Green
Design and Aesthetics:
- Dial: The dial features a world map with a sunburst finish, radiating a gentle green glow, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. The continents are portrayed in higher-level relief and polished to stand out against the seas and oceans.
- Date Window: Positioned at 6 o’clock, the date window highlights fine craftsmanship with a delicately grooved surround, a matte date ring, and a sunburst guilloché center for optimal readability.
- Hour Markers and Hands: Each hour marker is coated with Super-LumiNova for visibility in low light. The colors of the marker surrounds, as well as the luminous hands, complement the case, whether steel or rose gold.
Functionality:
- Movement: The watch houses a Manufacture calibre movement, allowing the wearer to read time zones from 24 cities listed on its 24-hour disc. A date hand display is also featured.
- Crown Adjustments: All functions are adjustable via the crown. In its default position, it winds the automatic movement, which has a 38-hour power reserve. The first notch allows for worldtimer adjustments, including setting the date and aligning local time with the city disc. The second notch lets users adjust the hours and minutes, with the 24-hour disc automatically aligning.
- Caseback: The precision mechanism is visible through the sapphire caseback, adorned with Côtes de Genève patterns and beading, celebrating Swiss Made craftsmanship.
Craftsmanship:
The watch underscores clarity and user-friendliness. It exhibits a meticulous blend of functionality and aesthetics, providing ease of use with an elegant mechanism entirely controlled by the crown.
Limited Edition:
- Rose Gold Variant: Comes with matching hands, hour markers, and a deployment clasp.
- Steel Variant: Features matching external details.
Overall, the Classic Worldtimer Manufacture Forest Green exemplifies Frederique Constant’s commitment to accessible luxury, combining technical sophistication with timeless elegance.
