Features

• Exceptional Craftsmanship and In-house Innovation
  Frederique Constant has long been recognized for honoring the grand traditions of Swiss horology. With the release of the FC-776 Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture, the brand introduces its 34th in-house movement, the FC-776. This automatic mechanical movement demonstrates the brand's commitment to both quality and innovation. The movement operates without the need for a battery, instead harnessing energy from the natural motion of the wearer’s wrist via an oscillating weight, ensuring a reliable and consistent power source. One of the hallmarks of this timepiece is its impressive 72-hour power reserve, a significant increase that speaks to the technical prowess behind its design. This extended autonomy allows the watch to keep precise time for up to three days, even when not worn, providing peace of mind and unmatched convenience for its owner.
• Perpetual Calendar Complexity
  At the heart of this Frederique Constant watch lies one of horology’s most complex complications: the perpetual calendar. This sophisticated mechanism automatically adjusts for months of varying lengths, including leap years, meaning the wearer never needs to manually correct the date. The FC-776 meticulously tracks and displays the date at 3 o’clock, the day of the week at 9 o’clock, and both the month and leap year status at 12 o’clock. This intricate system stands as a testament to Swiss technical mastery and makes a compelling case for mechanical watch enthusiasts seeking more than just a beautiful timepiece.
• Stunning Visual Design: A True Modern Classic
  The is housed in a new, meticulously reimagined 40mm stainless steel case with gentler lines and slimmer lugs. This design, inspired by vintage icons, ensures a comfortable fit and a compact, balanced profile on the wrist. The sleek round case is complemented by a rich navy blue dial crafted from brass. Elegant hand-polished Dauphine hands sweep across slender hour markers, which are tastefully arrayed around a sector-style minute track, offering excellent readability and subtle sophistication. Adding to its visual allure is a beautifully rendered moonphase complication at 6 o’clock, bringing a poetic element to the watch face and captivating those who appreciate astronomy-inspired design features. Each detail echoes traditional fine watchmaking, yet feels fresh and contemporary, demonstrating Frederique Constant’s ability to honor the past while embracing modern preferences.
• Superior Materials and Durability
  This classic timepiece pairs luxury with durability. The anti-reflective sapphire crystal provides not only superior resistance to impact and scratches but also excellent legibility under various lighting conditions, enhancing both functionality and elegance. The sapphire crystal caseback allows an unobstructed view of the movement’s intricate perlage and Côtes de Genève decorations, offering a fascinating glimpse into the expert craftsmanship behind the dial. Water resistance up to 50 meters (5 bar/166 feet) ensures that the Classic Perpetual Calendar can withstand everyday splashes, rain, and even still-water swimming. Whether worn at a formal event or during day-to-day activities, this watch proves its robustness without compromising on style. The finishing touch is a navy blue genuine crocodile leather strap. Fine and textured, it adds a tactile luxury that perfectly complements the dial, while the classic buckle ensures a secure and adjustable fit.
