Like the “Healey Le Mans” Limited Edition timepiece, this one is also available in a gift box with a miniature copy of a Runabout yacht. In my opinion, this is a very solid product.Ī subsidiary seconds hand, which is located at 9 hours, too, sports a black pointer slightly decreasing the timekeeper’s legibility, but that is only a minor annoyance. Yes, I understand that the official price of €1850 is nothing to sniff at, but, still you get a nice (albeit a bit generic, let’s be honest here) dress watch that is powered by one of the best (both in terms of reliability and ability to keep good time) chronograph movements currently available on the market. Still, would be great to try one on your own wrist first before pulling the trigger: just to be sure that it fits.Īlthough its three mandatory chronograph counters are nicely blended into the dial, their readings are absolutely legible and thanks to a set of black-painted hands wouldn’t require from you excessive concentration.Īs usual, Frederique Constant offers good value for relatively small money.
Its caseback cover is made of solid steel but nevertheless features FC’s trademark porthole-styled cutout exhibiting a part of the finely decorated movement: the aforementioned balance-wheel.Īlthough the lugs leave an impression of being too long for a watch of this size, this is just an illusion: the timekeeper measures approximately 52 millimeters from lug to lug and seems to fit nice just about any wrist of a normal size.
