Frédérique Constant refines its Classic Worldtimer with a new 72-hour manufacture movement

Frédérique Constant's Classic Worldtimer is one of the rare highly useful complications that can be operated without an intimidating array of pushers. In the redesigned 2026 reference FC-719BLW3H6, it keeps that single-crown logic but adopts a more refined 40mm case. Removing the date subdial also creates more uninterrupted space for the world map and 24-city ring.

A blue-gradient ocean surrounds relief continents in warm grey-beige, all framed by the white city ring and contrasting day/night scale. The result is a busy dial, but one with a clear reading sequence: city, relative position and local time. Applied luminous indexes keep the familiar central time readable.

The self-winding manufacture FC-719 calibre increases power reserve from approximately 38 to 72 hours while retaining a 4Hz frequency. Water resistance is now rated at 5 ATM. This is a thoughtful evolution of a much-loved Frédérique Constant rather than a superficial dial refresh, first announced in May for a June 2026 launch.
