This limited-edition timepiece boasts a distinctive turquoise dial and a perpetual calendar complication, showcasing the brand's expertise in high-end watchmaking. The watch features a 40mm stainless steel case with a thickness of 12.25mm, designed to maintain balance on the wrist.
The Manufacture Classic Perpetual Calendar FC-776TU3H6 features a unique turquoise dial made from natural stone, giving each piece a distinct appearance. The dial is adorned with applied diamond-cut indexes in nickel finish, providing a striking contrast to the turquoise background. The watch displays several calendar functions, including day, date, month, leap year, and moon phases.
At the heart of the watch is the automatic caliber FC-776, developed in-house by Frederique Constant. This movement powers the perpetual calendar complication, which automatically accounts for the varying lengths of months and leap years. The caliber operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and has a 72-hour power reserve, allowing the watch to run for approximately three days without needing to be worn or wound.
The FC-776 movement features 26 jewels and is designed to provide a stable and efficient performance. The watch's case is protected by a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating, and it has a water resistance of 5 ATM, or approximately 50 meters. The timepiece is paired with a blue alligator leather strap, secured with a deployant buckle.
