Key Features
24 Time Zones, One Crown
The Frederique Constant FC-718LA4H6 needs neither pushers nor correctors to adjust its FC-718 manufacture caliber. The cities encircling the dial provide readable references for checking world time, while the day-night indicator is calibrated over 24 hours. Its dark and light sections distinguish nighttime from daytime, adding context when you check the hour in another city.
Limited Edition of 718 Pieces
To mark 37 years of the Frederique Constant Manufacture, the FC-718LA4H6 was introduced as a 718-piece edition. This commemorative Classic Worldtimer celebrates the Manufacture's watchmaking expertise through its genuine stone dial and world-time complication.
Genuine Lapis Lazuli, Down to the Date
For the first time, this timepiece uses lapis lazuli on both the main dial and the offset date display at six o'clock. On the Frederique Constant FC-718LA4H6, those blue surfaces sing in harmony, like a celestial canopy that calls you to new horizons. Even when checking the date, your eye returns to the genuine stone that defines the watch's appearance.
FC-718 Automatic Manufacture Caliber
The Frederique Constant FC-718LA4H6 runs on a wound spring rather than a battery. Inside its automatic mechanical movement, an oscillating weight uses the motion of your arm to wind that spring, turning the act of wearing the watch into part of its mechanical operation. Hours, minutes and seconds accompany the date and worldtimer functions.
Anti-Reflective Sapphire Crystal
An anti-reflective coating deflects light from the sapphire crystal on the Frederique Constant FC-718LA4H6, helping keep the dial's cities and blue stone in view. The crystal is also impact and shatter resistant, pairing protection with the readability of the world-time display.
42 mm Stainless Steel Case and Blue Crocodile Strap
The round, silver-tone stainless steel case of the Frederique Constant FC-718LA4H6 preserves the purity of its lines and the timelessness of its elegance. A blue genuine crocodile strap continues the dial's blue palette onto the wrist, while a folding buckle with push buttons provides the strap's closure.
