Frédérique Constant Classics Worldtimer Manufacture Automatic green dial leather strap 42 mm

A cult collection from Frédérique Constant

Launched in 2012, the Classics Worldtimer Manufacture collection has established itself as one of the pillars of the Frédérique Constant catalog. A true showcase of the Geneva-based Maison's expertise, it has won over watch enthusiasts, collectors, and frequent travelers alike with its timeless design, universal complication, and uncompromising accessibility. In just a few years, it has become one of the brand's most iconic and sought-after collections. Thanks to its in-house movement, which is fully adjustable via the crown, it offers simultaneous reading of 24 time zones with disarming simplicity, where others multiply pushers and complexities of use.

The FC-718KWM4H6 edition, available in 718 numbered pieces, celebrates this watchmaking adventure with a forest green dial of unprecedented chromatic richness. More than just a new color, it is a natural and contemporary evocation of travel, exploration, and the connection between cultures. It also embodies a form of continuity: that of a design that has remained true to its origins, unchanged in its proportions and in its promise, but subtly renewed to capture the spirit of the times.

The Worldtimer Manufacture has become a cult classic because it perfectly illustrates Frédérique Constant's founding values:

To offer authentic and refined Swiss watchmaking luxury at a fair price, without sacrificing aesthetics, technique or emotion.

A vibrant cartographic dial

This model is distinguished by a multi-textured khaki/forest green dial. At its center, a relief world map reveals polished continents contrasting with sunlit oceans.

The outer city disc indicates the 24 time zones, while the adjacent 24-hour disc is divided into light and dark zones for intuitive reading of day and night. At 6 o'clock, a date counter is discreetly integrated into a guilloché rosette, ensuring balanced readability.

The applied luminescent dot hour markers and Super-LumiNova-treated hands ensure legibility even in low light. The whole is enhanced by a polished steel finish for a look that is as luxurious as it is functional.

Classic and balanced steel case

The polished stainless steel case has ideal proportions: 42 mm in diameter and 12.5 mm thick, with a domed sapphire crystal on the front and a screw-down transparent case back.

The fluted onion crown at 3 o'clock allows for easy handling. Water-resistant to 5 ATM (50 meters), this watch is perfectly suited to everyday life, even when active.

A bracelet to match the dial

This edition comes with a dark green leather strap embossed with an alligator pattern, highlighting the depth of color of the dial. It fastens with a polished steel folding clasp, ensuring a secure fit, comfort, and elegance. The overall effect is a harmonious and modern silhouette that is both urban and refined.

Technical details

The “Worldtimer” complication is extremely useful! Designed for exploration and travel, it allows you to instantly read the exact time in the 24 cities that represent the 24 reference time zones! It also tells you whether it is currently night or day in a given time zone.

This complication is usually quite complicated to set and quite expensive, but Maison Frédérique Constant has managed to find a solution to make it easier to use. For more than 15 years, the brand has been able to design and assemble its own movements in-house at its Geneva manufacture, enabling it to innovate and offer complications at affordable prices.

This watch is therefore equipped with the FC-718 automatic caliber, with a 38-hour power reserve. Proven reliability, it is also a model of simplicity: all of its indications are adjusted using a single crown, thanks to an ingenious three-step system. The first step winds the watch. The second sets the date and reference city. The third sets the time displayed in the center. Simple and intuitive, this design allows you to cross time zones carried only by your desire to discover the world, without having to worry about the time: the local time (indicated by the central hands) and home time (indicated by the rotating bezel) are automatically synchronized with each other.

In addition to being highly technical, this exceptional caliber is visible through the transparent case back. It is embellished with delicate circular graining and a Côtes de Genève decoration, above which rotates its satin-finished oscillating weight with drawn lines.

In short

• An elegant watch with a refined finish
