- Originally, 150 timepieces were produced and since that edition, only a very few have been manufactured on rare occasions, including one sporting a meteorite dial in a platinum case.
- With its calibre developed in-house, the Classic Tourbillon Manufacture honours the art of watchmaking down to the smallest details.
- In 2025, Frederique Constant is unveiling a new edition of its Classic Tourbillon Manufacture, a direct descendant of its 2023 predecessors.
- Its beating heart is the self-winding FC-980 manufacture movement, wholly developed and assembled in-house.
- The new model embodies a captivating blend of traditional Fine Watchmaking and unashamed modernity, with a green sunburst dial adding a dynamic and contemporary touch.
- It features two hand-polished central hands gliding over faceted hour markers; seconds are marked out directly by the tourbillon, where Frederique Constant has placed a slim central hand on the upper bridge-as discreetly as possible so as not to obscure the view of the tourbillon, with a glimpse of its innermost workings.
- Its finishings include bevelling, beading and circular graining, along with straight-grained flanks and mirror polishing elsewhere.
- These traditional features are by no means incompatible with a contemporary touch, either: the manufacture tourbillon's anchor and escapement wheel are made from silicon, a state-of-the-art material that Frederique Constant has used since 2008.
- Silicon is highly resistant to everyday magnetic fields such as those generated by computers, speakers and smartphones, and can withstand temperature fluctuations too.
- The understated, classic style of the case is further enhanced by the traditional onion crown harking back to the days of pocket watches, as well as a transparent caseback.
- A Swiss-made watch.
- The mechanism used is an in-house-built FC-980-4 automatic movement. This calibre movement is complete with 33 Jewels and a 38-hour power reserve.
- A British racing green Sunray dial Frederique Constant Men's watch.
- The dial features open heart subdial at 6 o'clock position and applied diamond cut hour markers.
- A white gold stainless-steel case watch.
- A green alligator leather strap finished with a folding buckle to ensure security on the wrist.
- 2-year manufacturer warranty.
