Frederique Constant Manufacture Classic Moonphase Date - FC-716GR3H6

Rich British racing green sets a distinctive tone on the Frederique Constant Manufacture Classic Moonphase Date (ref. FC-716GR3H6), a Swiss automatic watch with an in-house heart. That heart is the FC-716, a self-winding caliber Frederique Constant builds in Geneva, offering a 72-hour power reserve and a 4Hz frequency that quickly restores a steady beat after any disturbance. Turn the watch over and the see-through case back shows off its fan-shaped Côtes de Genève finishing, while the new 40mm Classic steel case stays a trim 11.78mm thick, with an onion-shaped crown at three o'clock.

On the dial, a fine sunburst finish plays with the light across the green surface, and diamond-cut hands and hour markers sit above a railtrack minute track. A moonphase aperture at six o'clock charts the moon through its 29.5-day journey against a field of stars, and the date is shown by a slim central hand traveling around a 1 to 31 scale, keeping the layout open and easy to read at a glance. A green alligator strap matches the dial tone and fastens with a folding buckle with push buttons, and with anti-reflective sapphire crystal and 50 meters of water resistance, this is a moonphase made to be worn and enjoyed every day.

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.

British racing green is one of three colors chosen for the latest Classic Moonphase Date Manufacture, Frederique Constant's flagship model, alongside silver grey and midnight blue. Each sits in the new 40mm Classic steel case and runs on the in-house FC-716, whose new barrel stores three days of energy. The moonphase nods to the old saying that watchmaking is the daughter of astronomy.
