The Frederique Constant Classic Date Manufacture comes in three new steel versions sporting the newly developed FC-706 Manufacture caliber. It features an impressive 72-hour power reserve and is backed by a five-year warranty.
The steel case of the Classic Date Manufacture has been slightly downsized to a refined 40 millimeters, a move that aligns with contemporary tastes while paying homage to iconic timepieces of the past. The absence of numerals on the dial enhances its minimalist charm, instead featuring slim hour markers and a ‘railtrack’ minute circle against a backdrop of sunburst finishes in silver, black, or salmon.
The dial has been thoroughly redesigned with diamond-faceted hour markers and polished hands. The absence of Roman or Arabic numerals simplifies time-telling, while a ‘railtrack’ minute circle ensures precision. Completing the package is an onion-type crown positioned at 3 o’clock.
Each of the three versions of the Classic Date Manufacture is paired with a matching alligator strap, complementing the dial’s color scheme for a timeless look.
