Frédérique Constant Classics Moneta Solarmetre quartz white dial leather strap 39 mm

The Moneta legacy revisited by solar innovation
The Moneta collection takes its name from the famous fluted edge that surrounds its dial, inspired by the relief of old coins. With the Moneta Solarmètre FC-120W3S6, Frédérique Constant opens a new chapter in its history by integrating for the first time a solar-powered movement into its collections. True to the Maison’s philosophy of making Swiss watchmaking innovative and accessible, this watch retains the classic aesthetic codes of the collection while incorporating state-of-the-art technology.

A revolutionary solar technology
At the heart of this creation is the FC-120 Solarmetre calibre, developed in collaboration with the La Joux-Perret manufacture. Its grained white dial conceals photovoltaic cells capable of capturing natural or artificial light to power the movement. A single minute of exposure is enough to provide up to one full day of operation, while a full charge allows for up to 10 months of battery life in complete darkness. This innovative technology offers the comfort of a quartz movement while reducing the constraints related to battery replacement.

Elegant proportions for everyday use
Housed in a stainless steel case with a diameter of 39 mm and a thickness of only 8.52 mm, the FC-120W3S6 has an especially slim and comfortable shape on the wrist. Its white grained dial is completed by faceted applied indexes and a date window at 3 o'clock. Waterproof to 5 ATM (50 meters), it comes with a crocodile-embossed brown leather strap and an additional stainless steel bracelet in Milanese mesh, offering two distinct styles: one classic and formal, the other more contemporary and urban. This versatility, combined with its solar innovation, makes the Moneta Solarmeter a particularly attractive watch for everyday use.
