The Frédérique Constant Runabout Automatic GMT is a true masterpiece of Swiss watchmaking - a symbol of elegance and performance. Designed for men, it stands out with its round case crafted in 316L stainless steel, prized for its durability and corrosion resistance. At 42 mm in diameter and 12.85 mm thick, it sits beautifully on the wrist while delivering maximum comfort. The polished, high-gloss finish of the case enhances its classic beauty with a modern edge. Its design strikes a refined balance between tradition and innovation, making it ideal for the discerning watch enthusiast. Every detail has been meticulously crafted - from the convex anti-reflective sapphire crystal for optimal legibility, to the transparent caseback decorated with the Riva Historical Society logo, for those who love admiring the movement in action. Classified as a Limited Edition, this high-end timepiece is an absolute rarity reserved for the most demanding collectors. To preserve its prestige and uniqueness, the series is strictly limited to 888 pieces worldwide. A rare opportunity to own something truly exceptional. To underscore this exclusivity, the watch is delivered in a special presentation box containing a miniature model of the iconic Riva boat.

The Dial

The dial of this watch is a feat of both aesthetics and function. In a deep blue, it immediately draws the eye with its double-circle finish. Golden Arabic numerals and grey indices, elegantly luminescent, ensure perfect legibility even in low light. A railroad track bezel frames the dial for precise timekeeping. The date window, thoughtfully positioned, blends seamlessly into the dial's clean design. The arrangement of hands and indices delivers remarkable display clarity, enhanced by the sapphire crystal that protects the dial from scratches while optimizing visibility with its anti-reflective treatment.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch beats a Swiss automatic movement of caliber FC-350, based on the renowned Sellita SW200. This movement delivers exceptional precision through its oscillation frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz). The automatic mechanism features a rotor that converts every wrist movement into energy, ensuring continuous and reliable operation. With a 38-hour power reserve, this watch keeps running even when left unworn for more than a day, giving its owner complete peace of mind. In addition to hours, minutes and seconds, the movement also enables the display of a second time zone via the integrated GMT function - an essential feature for frequent travelers or those working across multiple time zones.

The Strap

The strap of this watch, crafted in black rubber, is the perfect complement to its sophisticated case. The elegance and understated style of the rubber pair beautifully with the polished steel of the case, creating a dynamic and eye-catching contrast. The strap is designed for optimal comfort, conforming naturally to the wrist thanks to wide lugs measuring 21 mm. It fastens with a tang buckle, equally sturdy and easy to use.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance rating of 5 ATM, this watch can withstand pressure equivalent to a depth of 50 meters. It is perfectly suited for everyday activities, including showering, splashing, or exposure to unexpected rain, all while maintaining its mechanical integrity and refined aesthetics. This feature makes it a reliable timepiece that handles everyday water exposure with confidence, without compromising its elegant appearance or performance.
