Frederique Constant has added a new version with the world time feature to its successful model family Highlife collection, which it introduced last year.
One of the rising stars of the watch world, Frederique Constant continues to expand the Highlife collection, its young model family in the luxury sports watch segment. The new model brings together Highlife design elements under the same roof with the World Timer function, which is perhaps one of the most useful complications of today's watch world.
The new model comes in a stainless steel case with a diameter of 41mm and a thickness of 12.90mm. The case, in which glossy and matte surfaces are used together, incorporates the signature details of the sport-chic concept with its wide surfaces, integrated lug structure, and smooth bezel. The stylish case, which is waterproof up to 50 meters, has scratch-resistant sapphire crystals on both sides.
The dial of the model draws attention with its centrally positioned globe figure, which is among the characteristic features of the Highlife collection. There are discs around this figure, which means more after the World Timer feature is added, with 24-hour scale and city names, respectively. The blue/white theme used on the dial, where the date function is indicated by the pointer at 6 o'clock, promises sufficient legibility in almost any environment.
Inside the new model is the manufacture Caliber FC-718. The automatic movement, which operates at a frequency of 4Hz (28,800vph), offers a power reserve of up to 38 hours when fully wound. The movement, which has hours, minutes, seconds, a pointer date, and a world time with 24-hour indication, impresses with its design that allows you to use all its functions with the crown. The decoration of the movement can be seen through the sapphire crystal case back.
Another nice feature of the model is the strap/bracelet section. Frederique Constant Highlife Worldtimer Manufacture is offered for sale with an integrated metal bracelet, which is a must for the sport-chic concept, as well as nubuck and rubber straps designed in blue tone to match the dial. The stylish model also manages to be among the best alternatives in its segment, with a price of EUR 3,795.
