The new model is driven by the FC-718 Manufacture automatic caliber, with 26 jewels and a 42-hour power reserve, and is completely developed in-house at the Frederique Constant manufacture in Plan-les-Ouates in Geneva.
The technological genius of this timepiece is that all functions are easily accessible through the crown, there are no extra push buttons sticking out on the sides of the case.
Simple to use, the Worldtimer function can be used by selecting the desired city and placing it at the 12 o’clock position on the dial.
Once the internal discs are synchronized, you will know what time it is in the biggest cities of the world. Furthermore, these discs also indicate if it’s the day, with the white disc or if it’s the night, with the blue disc. The date can also be read on the 6’oclock counter.

What makes this new version of the Worldtimer Manufacture stand out, is definitely its elegant blue navy dial and its incredibly detailed anthracite grey world map in its center.
The hour and minute hands are silver with a hint of a luminous white on it. This model is presented with highly-polished, three part stainless steel case, convex sapphire crystal, a see-through case back and is water resistant to 50 meters beneath the sea.
