Manufacture Classic Worldtimer, 42mm - FC-718NWM4H6

One watch, 24 time zones adjustable solely via the crown: the Classics Worldtimer Manufacture is ready to explore the world of today... and tomorrow!

WATCHMAKING EXCELLENCE
All watches in the Manufacture collection are entirely designed, developed, produced, assembled, adjusted, and cased in our workshops in Plan-les-Ouates, Geneva, Switzerland. The manufacturing process of these timepieces requires long and meticulous work. Every detail is handcrafted, to the delight of connoisseurs of high-quality watches.

A USEFUL COMPLICATION
First, a useful complication, the Worldtimer: not so much a creation by watchmakers for watchmakers, but rather a model that will serve a wide audience in everyday life. This great invention, designed for exploration and travel, allows instant reading of the exact time in 24 cities representing the 24 reference time zones, with, first and foremost, instant indication of when it's day and night. New York, Bangkok, Rio de Janeiro, or Dubai: each city is a call to travel, which, for the past 10 years, has embodied the dream of all the world's great travelers.

SIMPLE, PRECISE, INTUITIVE
The in-house FC-718 self-winding mechanical movement offers a 38-hour power reserve. Visible through the caseback, it is water resistant to 50 meters (stainless steel) or 30 meters (18-karat gold). The distinctive Genevan finishes so dear to Frederique Constant, such as circular graining and the circular Côtes de Genève decoration, are visible. This timepiece is a paragon of simplicity. Simply use the crown to adjust all functions: hours, minutes, date at 6 o'clock, and a 24-city disc representing the 24 time zones on Earth, engraved in the center of the timepiece. There's no need for a day-night indicator: the inner disc features 12 hours on the light side (daytime) and 12 hours on the blue side (nighttime).

THE WORLD AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
The Classics Worldtimer Manufacture is, above all, a creation with a modern yet timeless design, an invitation to travel through the last ten years, unchanged except for the color scheme, enriching the collection with variations of blue, brown, gray, or green, like wild landscapes, cliffs, and colorful earths. Represented on the dial across the five continents, these wonders of nature bear witness to a world built one event after another, one civilization after another. Precious guardians of cultures, traditions, and savoir-faire, they pass on their legacy and allow anyone who wishes to open their minds to different customs and traditions, enriching their experience.

AN ICONIC MANUFACTURED TIMEPIECE
A unique creation, dear to the history of Frederique Constant, which also spans continents and transcends borders. A true icon of travel, the Classics Worldtimer Manufacture timepiece, first presented in 2012, has become a must-have model, and celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2022. The Classics Worldtimer Manufacture has quickly established itself as one of Frederique Constant's best-selling models, widely acclaimed by the watchmaking community.
