{"product_id":"frederique-constant-manufacture-classic-tourbillon-fc-980gr3h6","title":"Frederique Constant Manufacture Classic Tourbillon - FC-980GR3H6","description":"\u003cp\u003ePrecision 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLimited Edition of 150 Pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e – a small production run of this green-dial steel tourbillon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e60-Second Tourbillon at 6 O'Clock\u003c\/strong\u003e – a large dial window shows the rotating escapement that counters the effect of gravity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIn-House FC-980 Manufacture Caliber\u003c\/strong\u003e – self-winding tourbillon movement from Frederique Constant's own Manufacture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSapphire Caseback\u003c\/strong\u003e – a second view of the inner workings from the back of the watch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGreen Alligator Strap\u003c\/strong\u003e – dial-matched green alligator leather with a fold-over clasp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e FC-980GR3H6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manufacture\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Classic Tourbillon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLimited Edition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e FC-980\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement Technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mechanical movement powered by a wound spring, so no battery is ever required; an oscillating weight winds the spring with the motion of the wearer's arm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hours, minutes, tourbillon 60 seconds, 42 Hour Power Reserve\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTourbillon:\u003c\/strong\u003e Visible through a large window at 6 o'clock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver-Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 39 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.99 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLug Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Back:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sapphire crystal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anti-Reflective Sapphire Crystal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e Impact and shatter resistant – anti-reflective coating deflects light\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e WR50\/5Bar\/166ft [Still Water Swimming]\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBand Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBand Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alligator\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBand Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClasp Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fold Over Clasp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Switzerland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTimepiece History\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrederique 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrederique 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Frederique Constant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50878835785776,"sku":"FC-980GR3H6","price":19995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/1764\/4336\/files\/Classic_Tourbillon_de40aac3-d540-4783-b188-051462e05c24.png?v=1792793919","url":"https:\/\/elizaldejewelers.com\/products\/frederique-constant-manufacture-classic-tourbillon-fc-980gr3h6","provider":"Elizalde Jewelers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
