First introduced in 1997 as a tribute to the love for sailing felt by Peter Stas, co-founder of Frederique Constant, the Yacht Timer Regatta model makes a comeback twenty two years later.
This model features a built-in timer, specifically created for yacht racing starts, that counts down the critical 10 minutes before the sailing vessels set off for the race.
It features five dots at the top of the dial. Each dot represents one minute. The top button activates the first countdown that slowly turns all the points from white to blue, the contrasting color of the dial. Five minutes has passed when all five points are colored.
Then the second countdown starts to mark the last five minutes before the race begins. This time all five points gradually turn orange. When the final and fifth point is orange and the second hand strikes noon, the regatta is on.
The engraved dial was designed for optimal legibility. The indexes are faceted to constantly display a shiny polished side that can be seen regardless of the sun's angle. The hands and indexes are filled with luminescent material for overcast days.
Guaranteeing water resistance to 100 metres / 330 feet, the 42 mm polished case of the watch houses the FC-380 calibre, an automatic movement with count-down function that beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers 48 hours of power reserve.
The new Frederique Constant Yacht Timer Regatta is presented in four variations: the first comes in a steel case framing a silver-plated dial matched to a black leather strap (ref. FC-380ST4H6), the second and the third have rose gold-plated steel cases with a navy blue (ref. FC-380NT4H4) or silver-plated dial (ref. FC-380VT4H4), also completed by alligator leather straps, and the fourth one features a blend of steel and rose gold with a two-tone metal bracelet (ref. FC-380VT4H2B). All models come with an additional black rubber strap ideal when sailing.
