Frederique Constant's High Life Collection debuts its first worldtimer

Frederique Constant has added a new worldtimer model to its "High Life" collection, which is characterized by its sporty appearance. Equipped with the in-house caliber FC-718, this watch has a harmonious and modern appearance.

A worldtimer in harmony with the "Highlife" case

　Frederique Constant's Highlife is a model that features a strap that is integrated into the case. First released in 1999, the brand reinterpreted the Highlife in 2020, updating various elements to evolve it into a modern sports watch.

　At the launch in 2020, the brand announced a standard automatic three-hand model, an "open heart" model with an opening at 12 o'clock, and a complication model equipped with a perpetual calendar. The watch features a system that allows for easy strap replacement, and is becoming one of the brand's core collections.

　The latest addition to the Highlife collection is the Highlife Worldtimer Manufacture, which features a worldtimer function that displays the time in cities around the world and incorporates the company's own movement, Cal. FC-718.

　The deep blue dial features a 24-hour display, a date display at 6 o'clock, and a city display disc showing the 24 time zones on the outer periphery. While most world timers are operated using push buttons on the side of the case, this model allows all functions to be adjusted simply by operating the crown.

　The 24-hour display on the outside of the index is colored white for daytime cities and navy for nighttime cities, allowing for intuitive day/night distinction without the need for an indicator. The transparent case back reveals the in-house movement, which is finished with Côtes de Genève and circular graining.
