Classic Worldtimer FC-718KWM4H6 Watch

The Watch

Frédérique Constant is a watchmaking brand that masterfully blends tradition and innovation, dedicated to making Swiss watchmaking accessible without compromising on quality. Founded in 1988 by Peter Stas and Aletta Stas-Bax, the brand continues to craft elegant modern timepieces. Its commitment to its customers and artisanal expertise have made it a benchmark in the world of accessible luxury watches - where precision meets refinement. This Classic FC-718KWM4H6 watch from the Worldtimer collection is a prime example. It features a refined stainless steel case crafted with painstaking attention to detail for long-lasting durability. Its brilliant finish lends it a magnificent presence that will elevate your wrist with timeless elegance. Designed for men with a taste for refinement, it offers a diameter of 42 mm and a thickness of 12.15 mm. A limited edition of 718 pieces, this model is protected by a robust sapphire crystal that shields the dial from shocks and scratches. At 3 o'clock, a knurled crown handles all functional adjustments. Finally, the screw-down transparent caseback provides a water resistance of 5 ATM, or 50 meters.

The Dial

Designed with meticulous attention to detail, this dial delivers a smooth and enjoyable reading experience. Its forest green sunray-finished background showcases a world map at its center, complemented by a guilloché counter at 6 o'clock displaying the date through Arabic numerals and white dots. Round indices are spread across the dial to mark the hours, swept along with the indices by two sword-shaped hands indicating the hours and minutes, while the seconds hand sweeps the seconds. All time markers are coated with a luminescent layer that glows in the dark. Timekeeping is further enhanced by a bicolor disc representing day and night hours. To maximize this watch's usefulness, the brand has engraved the names of 24 cities representing the world's different time zones around the matte grey bezel. The brand signs the dial with its name and origin at 12 o'clock.

The Movement

This beautiful watch houses an automatic movement combining robustness and precision - specifically the in-house FC-718 caliber. It beats at a frequency of 28,800 vph, guaranteeing reliable operation, and features 26 jewels to absorb friction along with a power reserve of 38 hours for solid autonomy.

The Strap

This prestigious, meticulously crafted timepiece is completed by a striking green strap that brings an elegant finishing touch to your wrist. Fashioned in alligator leather by skilled artisans, it's guaranteed to turn heads. Gray stitching runs along its length, creating a beautiful contrast with the rest of the watch. Lightweight and understated, it elevates your everyday look effortlessly. With a lug width of 22 mm and fitting wrists up to 190 mm - with a short strap of 75 mm and a long strap of 115 mm - it ensures a light and comfortable fit. A deployant clasp measuring 18 mm in width provides secure wear all day long.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 5 atmospheres, or 50 m. Built to turn heads in style, it still holds its own against the elements. A shower with it on is perfectly fine - though the Ocarat team recommends setting it aside by the sink to preserve its brilliance and integrity over time. For swimming or diving, we strongly advise against it to avoid damage and repair costs.
