Classics Vintage Rally Healey Automatic FC-303HLBN3B6 Watch

The Watch

The Frédérique Constant Classics Vintage Rally Healey watch embodies elegance and sophistication in a round stainless steel case measuring 36 mm in diameter and 9.85 mm thick. This exquisite timepiece is a limited edition of 1,888 pieces, a vibrant tribute to the legacy of the Austin-Healey 3000 MKII BN7. The polished, robust case, enhanced by a convex sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, optimally protects the dial while offering a perfect view from every angle. The screw-down caseback ensures optimal water resistance up to 5 atmospheres. The tribute to the Austin-Healey extends to the caseback, finely engraved with the silhouette of the legendary Healey, making this piece a true collector's item for vintage motorsport and fine watchmaking enthusiasts. Each piece comes in a collector's gift box, complete with a miniature replica of the NOJ393.

The Dial

The dial is the centerpiece of this special edition, dressed in a blue reminiscent of the sky at dusk. Its sunray finish catches the light, creating mesmerizing reflections that shift subtly with every movement of your wrist. Bold, clearly legible Arabic numerals paired with luminescent indices adorn the dial, ensuring optimal readability day and night. An elegant minute track runs along the outer edge of the dial, adding an extra layer of precision. The vivid red seconds hand provides a striking contrast with the other elements, lending the whole piece a dynamic, modern character. A date window at 3 o'clock integrates seamlessly, underscoring the functional and aesthetic appeal of this exceptional model.

The Movement

The heart of the Frédérique Constant Classics Vintage Rally Healey is a Swiss automatic movement, the FC-303 caliber, based on the acclaimed Sellita SW200 architecture. This technical choice guarantees not only reliability and precision, but a truly refined watchmaking experience. With a power reserve of 38 hours, this watch delivers optimal performance in any situation, letting enthusiasts enjoy uninterrupted timekeeping. The oscillating weight, visible through the transparent caseback - screwed down for water resistance - reflects the meticulous attention to every manufacturing detail. The steady beat at 28,800 vph (4 Hz) promises unrivaled fluidity of movement, embodying the passion and expertise of Frédérique Constant in every tick of the mechanism.

The Bracelet

The strap is crafted from supple blue calfskin leather, ensuring wrist comfort and exceptional durability. White contrast stitching adds a subtle yet classic touch, staying true to the watch's sporting elegance. The 18 mm lug width allows a harmonious fit with the case, while the silver-tone steel pin buckle offers optimal security and ease of use. The calfskin finish delivers a luxurious feel with every wear. This material choice echoes the hand-stitched interiors of vintage cars, reinforcing the connection between Frédérique Constant timepieces and the prestigious world of motorsport.

Water Resistance

Designed for elegance rather than water sports, this piece still offers impressive water resistance up to 5 ATM, handling splashes, rain, and accidental immersion without a worry. This protection is ensured by premium materials including a screw-down caseback and an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, forming an effective barrier against water and dust.
