Frederique Constant introduces its 34th in-house caliber, the FC-776 Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture, now with a power reserve increased to 72-hours. The timepiece comes in a new 40mm classic case with gentler lines and slimmer lugs and a more compact diameter - a reflection of the tenets of vintage fine watchmaking. Featuring a navy blue dial with hand polished Dauphine hands, slender hour markers arrayed around a 'sector dial' minute track, three counters including the date at 3 o'clock, the day at 9 o'clock and the month and (leap) year at 12 o'clock. The finishing touch is provided by the moonphase window at 6 o'clock. Its perlage and Côtes de Genève can be seen through the sapphire crystal caseback. Comes on a navy blue alligator leather strap.

The elegance of blue, the power of a calibre
When it was launched in 2016, Frederique Constant’s Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture was the most affordable perpetual calendar on the watch market. Today, the timepiece raises the bar even higher in terms of quality, component finishing and the technical characteristics of its movement. Its dial now features a colour beloved by collectors: blue on a steel case, available in a 40 mm diameter. The new Classic case houses the new Manufacture FC-776 calibre, the 34th developed in-house by the Geneva-based watchmaker, with a power reserve of three days.
