Earlier this year at Watches & Wonders, Frederique Constant unveiled a limited—edition rose gold tourbillon to celebrate its 35th anniversary. Met with great reception, the Maison has announced two new iterations of the well-received model, but crafted from steel.

Emanating contemporary appeal and understated elegance, the new references are presented in a 39mm case size, housing a blue or silver-hued sunray-finished dial. Adorning the watch face are applied diamond-cut indices, hand-polished hour and minute hands, as well as a heartbeat opening at its six o’clock mark with a matching second hand.

Visible from its open caseback design, the timepiece is powered by the in-house FC-980 automatic calibre with a running time of up to 38 hours. Accompanying both colorways are blue alligator leather straps with tonal top stitching that completes the timepiece’s sleek and modern look.

Retailing for $15,659 USD, the two time-tellers are each available in a limited run of 350 pieces. To find out how to get your hands on one of these, visit Frederique Constant’s official website.
