Developed in-house, the latter boasts a 72-hour power reserve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Classic Moonphase Date Manufacture is so reliable that its performance is now guaranteed for five years. This rare, refined, sophisticated and accurate piece is highly reliable, based on a 4hz movement originally developed by Frederique Constant almost ten years ago now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe new model come with both a style makeover and more significantly, new technical features made possible by their new FC-716 Manufacture calibre. This has been fitted with a brand-new barrel providing a three-day power reserve – 72 hours in all. The high-precision movement beats at a rate of 4Hz. This carefully thought-out decision by the Maison means the watch is better able to withstand day-to-day challenges, returning swiftly to regular oscillations after any disturbance. The FC-716 calibre is itself derived from a technical base that has been used to power the Manufacture’s collections since 2015, the FC-715, and uses over 90% of the same components, making it exceptionally well tried and tested – and highly reliable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s been said that ‘watchmaking is the daughter of astronomy’, and this piece, housed in a 40-millimetre case, is perfect illustrations of that assertion: both those foundations of horology are evident on this minimalistic dial. The watchmaking aspect is embodied by the three redesigned steel-coloured central hands; the hours and minutes hands are now diamond-cut, as are the hour markers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs to astronomy, at six o’clock a single window brings together two complications in one display, the moonphase and the date. The two are closely interrelated: the moon completes one cycle of phases across its star-studded background in precisely 29.5 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe date is indicated by a central hand that travels around a peripheral scale graduated from 1 to 31. Amid this starry firmament, the shorter time marked out for each passing day and the longer moon phases thus dwell side by side in sweet and poetic astral harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Frederique Constant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49623040590117,"sku":"FC-716S3H6","price":6295.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/9897\/9877\/files\/FC-716S3H6-1_dd2c0620-7786-4303-bb17-55fa57e08449.jpg?v=1725562762"},{"product_id":"watch-frederique-constant-manufacture-classic-date-automatic-40mm-fc-706b3h6","title":"Frederique Constant Manufacture Classic Date Automatic 40mm Watch","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt’s definitely still a Classic, but with some major new features: the Classic Date Manufacture now sports the new FC-706 Manufacture calibre with a 72-hour power reserve and a five-year warranty.
