Frederique Constant Manufacture Classic Tourbillon - FC-980GR3H6

Precision and prestige meet in the Frederique Constant Manufacture Classic Tourbillon (ref. FC-980GR3H6), a Swiss automatic tourbillon watch limited to just 150 pieces and dressed in a striking shade of green. The 39mm round stainless steel case frames a green brass dial, and a generous window at 6 o'clock puts the tourbillon on full display as it completes a full rotation every 60 seconds. Turn the watch over and a sapphire caseback offers a second look at the in-house movement, so the craftsmanship is never hidden from view.

The tourbillon was devised in the late 18th century and patented in 1801 to counter the pull of gravity on a watch's rate by keeping the escapement in constant rotation, and Frederique Constant brings that tradition to life in its own FC-980 Manufacture caliber. This self-winding movement drives the hours, minutes and 60-second tourbillon, and Frederique Constant guarantees its accuracy for 38 hours of running. An anti-reflective sapphire crystal, 50 meters of water resistance and a green alligator strap with a fold-over clasp complete the package at a slim 10.99mm. It's a rare chance to own a limited-run, in-house Swiss tourbillon in steel, and a centerpiece for any serious collection.

Timepiece History

Frederique Constant was founded in 1988 by Aletta and Peter Stas, an entrepreneurial couple who shared a passion for watchmaking. Headquartered in Geneva, Frederique Constant has long aimed to make high-end Swiss-made watches available at more accessible prices. In 2004, it joined the ranks of Swiss watchmakers that develop and produce their own in-house calibers, and today its Manufacture in Plan-les-Ouates, Geneva, designs, develops and assembles more than 30 in-house calibers, including tourbillon, perpetual calendar and flyback chronograph complications. Frederique Constant celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2023.

Frederique Constant released its first Manufacture tourbillon movement in 2008. The FC-980 caliber that powers this watch is developed and hand-assembled in-house, and its tourbillon uses a silicon escapement wheel and anchor, which makes it resistant to magnetic fields and less sensitive to temperature changes, both of which help accuracy.

In 2023, the year of its 35th anniversary, Frederique Constant unveiled a new Classic Tourbillon Manufacture with a fresh case and styling, presented in 18-carat rose gold limited to 150 pieces and in two steel versions of 350 pieces each. Frederique Constant has also made a very small number of rare versions, including a meteorite dial in platinum and an aventurine dial in white gold, while this green-dial steel model is limited to 150 pieces.
