- NEW
The Classic Moonphase Date Manufacture remains true to the sober DNA that has made it such a success, but has been given a new look with a revised design and a Manufacture calibre that now offers almost 72 hours of power reserve... Fall for this timepiece in its green dial version!
New design, new movement
Sober, elegant and modern: while remaining true to its traditional DNA, the Classic Moonphase Date Manufacture, Frederique Constant's flagship model, now unfolds in a new 40 mm variation, featuring the new Classic steel case.
Designed for everyday wear and for fans of Geneva's watchmaking heritage, this timepiece offers a new, sleek, sunrayed dial with fine hands powered by the new FC-716 movement, developed in-house and boasting 72 hours of power reserve.
Thanks to its reliability and performance, the Classic Moonphase Date Manufacture now comes with a 5-year warranty. A rare, precious and precise creation of great reliability, resting on a movement base clocked at 4 Hz and developed by Frederique Constant almost 10 years ago.
A 72-hour power reserve
This model sees the light of day today, not only with revamped aesthetics, but above all with new technical features, thanks to the new Manufacture FC-716 caliber. The latter is equipped with a new barrel that now offers three days of power reserve, i.e. 72 hours. It is a high-precision movement, clocked at 4 Hz. This choice by the Maison makes it more resistant to the vagaries of daily life, thanks to its ability to quickly return to a perfectly regular oscillation. The FC-716 caliber is based on the FC-715 caliber, which has been in the Manufacture's collections since 2015, and from which it takes over 90% of its components. It is therefore a particularly well-proven movement, with extremely high reliability.
The daughter of astronomy
As the saying goes, "watchmaking is the daughter of astronomy". On a streamlined dial, these two horological foundations stand out. First, the watchmaking side, with three steel-colored central hands, redesigned and now diamond-faceted (only those for hours and minutes), just like the hour-markers.
Then, the astronomical side. At 6 o'clock, a single window brings together two complications in a single counter: the moon phase and the date. They are closely correlated, as the moon scrolls through a starry window at the precise rhythm of 29.5 days.
A gentle, poetic astral symbiosis
The date is indicated by a central hand traversing a peripheral scale graduated from 1 to 31. In this starry space, the short time of the date and the long time of the moon cohabit in a gentle, poetic astral symbiosis.
