A unique collaboration between Automobile and Watchmaking
For over 15 years, lovers of fine mechanical engineering have honored the union of automobiles and watchmaking with the Vintage Rally limited series, created by Frederique Constant in tribute to the legendary Austin-Healey. This collection, with its elegant retro styling, contributes to this heritage.
Born of a close collaboration with Austin-Healey, the two brands joined forces in 2004. This collaboration around sport and watchmaking is one of the most enduring associations in the industry, reflecting the unbreakable bond the two houses share in drawing inspiration from tradition to create resolutely modern designs, especially for those who truly appreciate craftsmanship and elegance.
Luxurious design
This model features a polished steel case measuring 42 mm in diameter. Protected by a convex sapphire crystal, the green dial offers an attractive grained finish typical of the Manufacture Frederique Constant. The applied hour-markers and hands are finished with a luminous treatment. The final detail of the dial is the "Healey 70th Anniversary" logo at six o'clock. The minutes appear on the outer edge of the dial. An elegant detail, the transparent sapphire crystal caseback, reveals the automatic mechanism.
Mechanism side
This Vintage Rally Healey embarks the self-winding FC-397 caliber. Beating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, it offers a comfortable 48-hour power reserve but above all an attractive finish. Visible through its transparent caseback, the timepiece displays its mechanical intimacy and finishing to the full. This chronograph caliber offers a bi-compax layout with a 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock and a small seconds at 9 o'clock.
A sublime case
Faithful to tradition, this model is supplied in a special limited-edition box containing a model of the iconic Healey NOJ 393, a car well known to classic motor racing enthusiasts!
