What to know

In the second Frédérique Constant design featured in Minute Mon's Dubai Watch Week Short, natural stone provides the visual drama. The Classic Worldtimer Manufacture FC-718LA4H6 has a saturated blue lapis-lazuli dial with unique gold-flecked variations, surrounded by a contrasting city ring identifying 24 principal time zones. A small date subdial at six o'clock is also cut from lapis lazuli.

The polished 42 mm steel case houses the in-house FC-718 automatic movement, which sets the local time, date and world-time display using a single crown. It offers 38 hours of reserve and 50 m water resistance. The model was offered as a 718-piece edition in 2025, with a US listed price of US$5,795. It belongs to the Classic Worldtimer family, not to the Highlife collection.
