What to know
The FC-776SAL3H6 Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture reorganises a prestigious complication within an elegantly proportioned 40mm steel case. Its salmon-coloured sunburst dial supports slim applied markers and dauphine hands, giving the multiple indications room to breathe.

Month and leap-year cycle share a subdial at twelve, with day at nine, date at three and moonphase at six. The automatic manufacture FC-776 offers 72 hours of power reserve, a substantial improvement over its predecessor, and the calendar can be adjusted with discreet correctors in the case.

Introduced in 2025, this model stands out for balancing accessible high watchmaking with warm, classical design. It is a model spotlight rather than a new October 2026 release.
