A Matt Black Affair: The New Open-worked Frederique Constant Slimline Perpetual Calendar

Frederique Constant’s philosophy and brand values are represented by stunning design, superior quality, and relentless innovation. Amongst their many brilliant collections, such as the Manufacture, Highlife, and Classics, are several Slimline watches; each possessing unique traits. With both quartz and automatic versions, the Slimline was initiated to offer refined shapes, spectacular curves, and panache. The idea behind the Slimline range is revealed by the gorgeous design direction that the collection takes and the highly functional calibres that power these watches. Slimline watches house different types of movements, including the iconic Heart Beat Automatic, the popular FC-705, or the high-end Perpetual Calendar Manufacture. To extend this series even further, Frederique Constant have introduced a 42mm Manufacture Slimline Perpetual Calendar with grey anthracite DLC coating. With its extremely limited edition of 35 pieces, this perpetual calendar complication watch comes with a rarity tag.

Meet The Matt: Frederique Constant Manufacture Slimline Perpetual Calendar

The Frederique Constant Manufacture Slimline Perpetual Calendar features a generous black style, including the case, strap, and busy open-worked dial that showcases the inner workings of the robust FC-775 manufacture movement. Completing the overall look are several satin-polished components, blued screws, and a sapphire crystal caseback.

The automatic movement FC-775 enables hours, minutes, moonphase, date, day, month, and leap year functions. This robust movement beats at 28,800vph and offers a 38-hour power reserve. This 42mm Perpetual Calendar watch is water-resistant up to 30m. The matt black dial with printed indexes in white delivers a classic contrast to the watch that comes attached to a black nylon strap with a folding buckle.
