Retro timepieces embody racing spirit

Since 2004, the famous Swiss watch brand Frederique Constant has launched an in-depth cooperation with the British car manufacturer Austin Healy, aiming to launch a series of timepieces with a racing spirit without losing the retro charm. Whenever a limited-edition watch comes out, it always arouses heated discussions among watch enthusiasts and car culture enthusiasts.

No, Frederique Constant has just launched a new series of watches inspired by the 1960s Austin Healey 3000 MKII sports car – Classics Vintage Rally Healey calendar watches and chronographs. This calendar watch not only has a classic and charming appearance, but also has a very powerful inner movement. It is equipped with the FC303 automatic movement, which has a vibration frequency of 28,800 times per hour and a power reserve of 38 hours. It is a watch that is both beautiful and easy to use.

The chronograph is no less impressive, with a built-in FC397 automatic chronograph movement with the same vibration frequency of 28,800 times per hour, but the power reserve is slightly inferior, only 62 hours. However, its function is more powerful. In addition to displaying hours, minutes, and seconds, it also has a 30-minute counter and a small seconds counter. It can be said that whether it is a calendar watch or a chronograph, the perfect combination of retro design and modern technology makes these two watches both collectible and practical.

It is worth mentioning that both watches use stainless steel cases and are waterproof to 50 meters. And because it is limited to 1,888 pieces, friends who want to get it should hurry up to avoid missing this opportunity to have close contact with racing culture. The calendar watch is priced at £1,295 and the chronograph at £2,995. Although the price is high, considering the racing sentiment and brand tribute behind it, I believe many watch enthusiasts are still willing to pay for it.

The collaboration between Frederique Constant and Austin Healy to launch such a timepiece is truly a perfect tribute to racing culture.

Conclusion

All in all, Frederique Constant’s collaboration with Austin Healy this time is really great! It’s not just a watch, it’s a tribute to racing culture. Although the price is a bit high, considering its unique value, many watch enthusiasts will definitely be willing to pay for it. What do you think?
