Frederique Constant has released two new limited editions in its Vintage Rally Healey collection, celebrating over two decades of partnership with the legendary British carmaker Austin Healey. The watchmaker has long been a key sponsor of numerous events and gatherings organised by Healey clubs around the world.
Each model is limited to 1,888 pieces and features a metallic blue dial inspired by the iconic Austin-Healey 3000 MKII BM7.
The first edition is the Frederique Constant Classics Vintage Rally Healey Automatic, a 36 mm three-hand model with a date display, housed in a stainless steel case. The sunburst-finished dial enhances the luminous applied hour markers and oversized Arabic numeral “12” at the top. A red seconds hand adds a subtle sporty touch.
As with both versions, the dial includes the “Frederique Constant Genève” and “Healey” logos, harmonised in navy blue with the outer flange.
Powered by the self-winding calibre FC-303, this model features an Incabloc anti-shock system, hacking seconds, and a 38-hour power reserve. It operates at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour).
The solid caseback protecting it is engraved with the silhouette of a Healey car.
The watch is paired with a navy blue calfskin strap with off-white stitching and secured with a stainless steel pin buckle.
The Frederique Constant Classics Vintage Rally Healey Automatic, reference FC-303HLBN3B6, is priced at €1,495.
The second model is the Frederique Constant Classics Vintage Rally Healey Chronograph Automatic, a 42 mm x 14.45 mm stainless steel chronograph, driven by the ETA-based automatic FC-397 calibre.
Visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, this movement beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a power reserve of 62 hours.
Its dial, protected by an anti-reflective convex sapphire crystal, features a bi-compax layout with small seconds at 9 o’clock and a 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock. The outer flange, like the sub-dials, is rendered in navy blue.
Fitted with a navy blue calfskin strap with contrast stitching, the Frederique Constant Classics Vintage Rally Healey Chronograph Automatic, reference FC-397HLBN5B6, retails for €3,395.
Both models are water-resistant to 50 metres / 165 feet. frederiqueconstant.com
