Manufacture Classic Worldtimer Limited Edition

Frederique Constant Manufacture Classic Worldtimer FC-718LA4H6

This watch is part of the Elements collection.

To mark its 37th anniversary in 2025, Frederique Constant Manufacture is unveiling a collector's box set of just 37 pieces for the first time. This set consists exclusively of Manufacture pieces in strictly limited editions and embodies the essence of our watchmaking expertise.

Discover the new Classic Worldtimer Manufacture, a masterpiece of Haute Horlogerie that combines an essential travel function with striking aesthetics. The beating heart of this model is its beautiful dial, crafted in authentic blue lapis lazuli. For the first time, lapis lazuli is used on both the main dial and the off-centre date display at six o'clock. This spectacular mineral base is accentuated by a white city ring displaying the 24 major time zones. The day/night indicator is calibrated over 24 hours, with the day (silver-plated) and night (blue) naturally separated into two parts. For optimal readability, even in the dark, the applied indices and the hour and minute hands are silver-plated and coated with a white luminous coating.

At the heart of the watch beats the automatic calibre FC-718 Manufacture, a movement developed and assembled entirely in-house. This mechanism is particularly remarkable because all functions – hours, minutes, seconds, date at 6 o'clock and world time – can be set via the single crown, simplifying its use for the modern traveller. The movement is a demonstration of watchmaking craftsmanship, decorated with perlage and circular Côtes de Genève finishes. It offers a reliable power reserve of 38 hours. The screw-down case back is engraved and transparent, allowing you to admire the mechanism in action. This model is a limited edition of only 718 pieces. The individual number of this edition is engraved on both the movement and the back of the case, guaranteeing its uniqueness. The three-piece polished stainless steel case has an ideal diameter of 42 mm. It is protected by an anti-reflective convex sapphire crystal. The watch features an elegant dark blue alligator leather strap with off-white stitching, which is fastened with a folding clasp.
