Key Highlights

  • Swiss-made Manufacture automatic movement (FC-718 calibre)
  • Fully integrated world time complication (24 time zones)
  • Unique single-crown adjustment system
  • Refined blue dial with world map centre
  • Elegant 40.5 mm stainless steel case
  • Sapphire exhibition caseback
  • Ideal for travel, business professionals, and collectors

The Frederique Constant Classic Worldtimer [FC-718N4H6] represents one of the most compelling entries into true Swiss manufacture watchmaking — combining mechanical sophistication with intuitive usability in a refined, travel-ready timepiece.

At the heart of this watch is the in-house FC-718 calibre, developed and assembled in Geneva. Unlike standard outsourced movements, this Manufacture movement reflects Frederique Constant’s commitment to vertical integration and accessible high horology — a rare offering at this level.

The dial is both functional and visually captivating. A rich blue backdrop frames a detailed world map at its centre, surrounded by a rotating 24-hour disc and city ring representing 24 global time zones. This layered construction allows the wearer to read the time across the world instantly.

What sets this worldtimer apart is its single-crown adjustment system. Unlike traditional world time watches requiring multiple pushers, all functions — including city selection and time adjustment — can be controlled directly through the crown. This innovation offers a level of simplicity and practicality that significantly enhances everyday usability.

The 40.5 mm stainless steel case strikes a perfect balance between presence and wearability, making it suitable for both professional environments and travel scenarios.

Turning the watch over reveals a sapphire exhibition caseback, showcasing the movement within — a reminder of the mechanical craftsmanship that defines the piece.

This is a watch designed for those who operate across borders — combining elegance, precision, and global functionality in a single timepiece.
