august 26, 2014 - Frederique Constant
Frederique Constant Introduces the 2014 Runabout Chronograph Automatic Collection
Passion comes in many forms. Mr. Carlo Riva exhibited his passion through the design of the sleek, wooden power boats that graced the planet’s finest lakes from 1950.
In 1998, the Riva Historical Society was founded with the aim of locating and aiding in the conservation and restoration of the magnificent Riva boats.
This year again, Frederique Constant is delighted to announce their continuing partnership with the Riva Historical Society.
As a salute to the iconic Riva water craft and the passion that spawned them, Frederique Constant introduces the 2014 limited edition Runabout Chronograph Automatic Collection.
The new range features two models. Only 2,888 of each will be produced. Both are powered by the ultra-precise FC-393 automatic chronograph movement, offering 28,800 beats per hour, 25 jewels and an appreciated 46-hour power reserve.
Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, date and a mechanical chronograph.
The date window is located at the 3 o’clock positon.
If you want to wear your new Chronograph Automatic while you’re out on the waves, you can, this model is water resistant to 50 metres.
With a case diameter of 42mm, the dial is protected by a diamond-hard convex sapphire crystal, and both models feature the exceptionally popular see-through case back, allowing owners to view the internal workings of this mechanical marvel. As an acknowledgement of the work they do and the passion with which they do it, the Riva Historical Society flag is etched into the case back glass.
The FC-393RM5B4 comes with a striking rose gold plated case, with a wonderfully contrasting silver dial featuring a guilloche decoration in the centre.
The hour and minute hands are luminous white. The Arabic numerals are finished in rose gold and hand-applied.
A luxurious crococalf leather strap in dark brown with a folding buckle completes the stylish and timeless look of this model.
