What to know
Frédérique Constant's collaboration with Bamford Watch Department gives the Highlife Chronograph a radically darker identity. The 41 mm grade-2 titanium case is crystallised using controlled heating and cooling, creating a textured surface before receiving a black DLC finish. Electric turquoise highlights punctuate the three chronograph subdials and central seconds hand on an otherwise matte-black dial.
Beneath its striking exterior is the Swiss automatic FC-391 chronograph, offering 60 hours of power reserve. The watch measures 14.62 mm thick and is rated to 100 m water resistance. The edition was limited to 100 examples, supplied with interchangeable black and turquoise rubber straps and a black nubuck calfskin strap. Unveiled for Dubai Watch Week 2025, its US launch price was US$4,995.
