Frederique Constant has created a steel version of its Manufacture Tourbillon watch, which was first revealed at Watches and Wonders in rose gold.
The elegant dress watches come in the same 39-millimetre sized case in a choice of blue or silver-coloured dials.
They are being made in a limited production run of 350 pieces each, priced at £12,750.
Frederique Constant is celebrating two anniversaries in 2023.
The brand is 35-years-old and it is 15 years since it made its first manufacture tourbillon movement.
Frederique Constant burst onto the Swiss watchmaking scene with a simple assumption that it could make watches of the same quality as its illustrious neighbours, but at more affordable prices.
The steel versions of the Classic Tourbillon Manufacture fit the brief with finishing on both the sunray dials and the FC-980 automatic movements, which has a solid gold rotor, Cote de Geneve stripes on the underside and even perlage decoration on the top side, which is invisible under the dial.
Alligator leather straps complete the dress watches’ styling.
Dials have a minimalist, modern style with slim, diamond-cut hour markers applied by hand, giving full attention to the tourbillon at 6 o’clock, which has an anti-magnetic silicon escapement wheel and anchor.
The tourbillon also regulates a small seconds hand, which circles in front of it on the dial.
