Franck Muller gives Germany a 15-piece carbon Vanguard Ocean Drive

The Vanguard Ocean Drive interprets Franck Muller’s tonneau sports watch through a coastal colour palette. Its case is machined from a solid block of aerospace-grade carbon produced from 150 compressed layers, creating a dark striated texture while keeping the large curved form lightweight.

Franck Muller offered the watch with either sky-blue or black integrated straps. Hand-applied numerals match the straps and their tone-on-tone stitching, making colour the central feature of an otherwise technical carbon construction. Announced on 7 July 2026, the Ocean Drive was created exclusively for Germany and limited to only 15 pieces across the collection. It is a regional release, but one that clearly demonstrates the manufacture’s continuing interest in lightweight materials and highly restricted Vanguard editions.
