Frederique Constant Presents Vintage Racing Chronograph Watch

At Baselworld 2011, Frederique Constant will officially unveil its Vintage Racing Chronograph watch.

The new Frederique Constant watch looks sporty and energetic. The 43mm-in-diameter case is sculptured from stainless steel. It features wide lugs.

The time is indicated by arrowhead-shaped hands and hour-markers coated with white Superluminova. The dial of the watch is available in three variations, each limited to 1888 pieces.

The first two variations of the dial are completed with silvered chronograph counters with rose gold-plated steel or polished stainless steel hands and hour-markers. The third variation features black counters and stainless steel hands. The dial is shielded by a convex antireflective sapphire crystal.

The heart of the Vintage Racing Chronograph watch is the new caliber FC-396 automatic movement.

Operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, the movement offers 42 hours of power-reserve. The oscillating weight of the mechanism is engraved with Peking to Paris logo. The sapphire crystal case-back allows to drop a glance at the movement.

The Frederique Constant Vintage Racing Chronograph watch is presented on a black or brown crocodile-pattern leather strap equipped with a steel folding clasp.

The timepiece is 100-meter water-resistant.
