Frederique Constant – MANUFACTURE Classic Tourbillon Palm Green Dial Edition 2025 Geneva excellence clad in green: Frederique Constant reveals its brand new tourbillon
In 2025, Frédérique Constant is unveiling a new edition of its Classic Tourbillon Manufacture, a direct descendant of its 2023 predecessors. The timepiece is being released in a limited edition of 150 featuring a 39-millimetre steel case with a green dial and matching strap.

Its beating heart is the self-winding FC-980 manufacture movement, wholly developed and assembled in-house. The new model embodies a captivating blend of traditional Fine Watchmaking and unashamed modernity, with a green sunburst dial adding a dynamic and contemporary touch.

In
2023, the
Classic Tourbillon Manufacture already featured a striking
new look with an innovative case and styling; the case was crafted from
solid 18-carat pink gold, since adopted by
Frederique Constant for all
its
Manufacture pieces. Originally,
150 timepieces were produced and
since that
edition, only a very few have been manufactured on rare
occasions, including one sporting a meteorite dial in a platinum case
and another with an aventurine dial and a white gold case. Precious
metals are of course not the only option; limited editions featuring
steel cases are highly sought-after by collectors too, as other leading
Geneva watchmaking houses can also attest.

Many
such steel watches seem to retail for as much as gold editions, but
that can’t be said of this new release, situated in exactly the same
price range as its
2023 forebears sporting a silvered blue dial. The
pricing decision reflects
Frederique Constant’s unwavering aim:
delivering affordable Swiss Made watchmaking luxury complete with
top-level finishings.

The
green dial
limited edition can boast all these assets – and aims higher
still. The historic tourbillon often comes in highly classical garb,
with a white, grey or black dial, but this piece has daringly adopted a
deep palm green dial with a radiant sunburst finish. It features two
hand-polished central hands gliding over faceted hour markers; seconds
are marked out directly by the tourbillon, where
Frederique Constant has
placed a slim central hand on the upper bridge – as discreetly as
possible so as not to obscure the view of the tourbillon, with a glimpse
of its innermost workings.

The
Classic Manufacture’s existing
39-millimetre case has been retained,
combined here with a topstitched alligator deployment strap matching the
dial. The understated, classic style of the case is further enhanced by
the traditional onion crown harking back to the days of pocket watches,
as well as a transparent caseback through which the
FC-980 calibre can
be admired.

As
is customary in Geneva watchmaking, its finishings include bevelling,
beading and circular graining, along with straight-grained flanks and
mirror polishing elsewhere. These traditional features are by no means
incompatible with a contemporary touch, either: the manufacture
tourbillon’s anchor and escapement wheel are made from silicon, a
state-of-the-art material that
Frederique Constant has used since
2008.
Silicon is highly resistant to everyday magnetic fields such as those
generated by computers, speakers and smartphones, and can withstand
temperature fluctuations too.

In
line with the
Classic Tourbillon Manufacture tradition, each piece will
bear an individual number on the tourbillon itself as well as on its
case.
