Frederique Constant introduces its 34th in-house calibre, the FC-776 Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture, now with an increased 72-hour power reserve. The timepiece features a new 40mm classic case with softer lines, slimmer lugs, and a more compact diameter—reflecting the principles of vintage fine watchmaking. It showcases a salmon-coloured dial with hand-polished Dauphine hands, slender hour markers arranged around a 'sector dial' minute track, and three subdials: the date at 3 o’clock, the day at 9 o’clock, and the month and (leap) year at 12 o’clock. Completing the design is a moonphase window at 6 o’clock. The perlage and Côtes de Genève decoration are visible through the sapphire crystal caseback. The watch comes on a dark brown alligator leather strap.
