The Frederique Constant Classic Worldtimer Manufacture is new version, now with a brown dial and rose gold-plated case. Which looks distinguished and indeed classic. To set all the watch functions you just need the crown.

The more pushers, the more complicated a watch looks. But on a classic looking watch like this Frederique Constant Classic Worldtimer Manufacture the soberness of just having a crown and nothing more can be appreciated. The first position of the crown winds the watch. The second position sets the date when you turn it upwards; turning it downwards sets the city. The third and last position sets the time.

The Frederique Constant Classic Worldtimer Manufacture is also available in navy-blue (or white/silver)

This new Frederique Constant Classic Worldtimer Manufacture houses the caliber FC-718 with a power-reserve of 42 hours. To keep the price at an acceptable level the case is from polished stainless steel. The rose gold color of the case matches perfectly with the brown dial. The hands are also gold-plated. The dial itself contains an etched world map, although New-Zealand, South-Africa and a couple of other countries are missing and Europe is hidden behind FC’s name. It’s not really disturbing the overall design.

Don’t worry if you do not like brown; the other models have a white/silver dial, with a steel case, some of them gold-plated. And there is also a model with navy-blue dial and steel case. Which might still be the most beautiful one.
