![]() Rose-gold plating decorates the dial in the form of applied Arabic numerals and lance alpha hour luminous hands. The dial features a recognized Frederique Constant design trait – a centered guilloché hobnail pattern in silver. One, the FC393RM5B4, comes in a round 42 mm rose-gold-plated steel case that is polished throughout. The Runabout range features two new chronograph models. Here’s a photo of one docked in front of what appears to be a Lamborghini GT350. If you’re not familiar with Carlo Riva, or handcrafted wooden powerboats at all for that matter, you should know that they exuded unmatched class on the water in the 1950s and '60s. The dock showcased models of Chris-Craft, Gar Wood and the renowned Riva, the latter of which Frederique Constant has sponsored by partnering with the Riva Historical Society (a Milan-based association that is dedicated to the preservation and restoration of classic runabout boats). Nearly 100 vintage runabouts and racers made it to this year’s event. While this new chronograph doesn't feature an in-house movement, it has a lot to offer.Ī few weeks back, Frederique Constant released its new “Runabout” range at the 42nd Annual Lake Tahoe Concours d’Elegance, a prestigious wooden boat show that the watchmaker has sponsored for the last four years. Now the brand is making waves again – only this time in the water. Without a doubt, Frederique Constant has demonstrated skill at catering to watch enthusiasts who desire both quality and accessible pricing. We showcased the brand's Classics Manufacture earlier in March and its Worldtimer complication last year. Frederique Constant has grabbed HODINKEE headlines in recent years by offering in-house movements at an affordable price point.
