Frederique Constant invites you to explore the refined beauty of its 2026 Classics Runabout Automatic GMT, a limited edition timepiece that embodies the spirit of Italian nautical elegance fused with Genevan craftsmanship.
New Classics Runabout Automatic GMT
Inspired by the legendary mahogany boats, the 2026 Classics Runabout collection returns with a biennial edition that is strictly limited to 888 pieces per dial colour. Available in deep blue or mahogany brown, this 42 mm Automatic GMT watch is a testament to luxury and exclusivity, offering a touch of La Dolce Vita right at your wrist.
Shared Heritage
This limited edition is presented in two highly desirable variations, each reflecting the same horological and nautical passion. The deep blue model captures the essence of the Mediterranean, while the mahogany brown version evokes the warmth of precious wood, both offering a unique expression of an exclusive transalpine lifestyle.
Automatic Caliber: The GMT Movement
At the heart of this exquisite timepiece beats the automatic FC-350 caliber, featuring an in-house GMT module with a 38-hour power reserve. This high-precision movement is revealed through a smoked sapphire caseback, engraved with the official Riva Historical Society logo, bridging technical mastery with nautical legend.
The Rich Warmth of Mahogany Brown
The mahogany brown dial embodies the ultimate luxury and prestige of travel, inspired by the nobility of legendary wooden boats. This interpretation combines its warm dial with a genuine brown leather strap and a refined folding buckle, creating a timeless refinement.
The Nautical Spirit of Deep Navy Blue
Conversely, the navy blue model captures the magic and mystery of the Mediterranean waters. Designed for action and travel, this collector’s piece features a signature vertical-pattern dial paired with a contemporary black rubber strap, offering a bold touch of casual chic.
Vampirsky take
In a world where time is both a fleeting companion and a relentless adversary, the 2026 Classics Runabout Automatic GMT stands as a reminder of the elegance that can be achieved when craftsmanship meets inspiration. It is not merely a watch; it is a vessel of memories, a celebration of life’s journeys, and a testament to the enduring allure of fine horology.
