Frederique Constant Highlife Chronograph Automatic, new 2024 models

In 2024, Frederique Constant is presenting two new variations of its Highlife Chronograph Automatic 41 mm model. Prices: €3,495 and €3,995.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of its Highlife collection, Swiss manufacture Frederique Constant is presenting two new variations of its Highlife Chronograph Automatic 41 mm model.

Introduced in 1999, the Highlife collection is characterised by a high-level of finishing and meticulous attention to detail, all while maintaining affordable pricing. This aligns with the brand's philosophy of making Swiss Made quality watchmaking accessible to a wider audience.

The two new models embody this approach, further raising the bar on quality. Both are housed in a 41 mm x 14.22 mm case, water resistant to 10 ATM (100 metres / 330 feet), and are driven by the FC-391 calibre powering an hours/minutes/seconds tricompax display and a date window at 4:30. The dials are embossed with a globe pattern.

The first timepiece, the Highlife Chronograph Automatic ref. FC-391NS4NH4, is a non-limited edition that joins the standard collection. It combines a rose gold-plated steel case alternating polished and satin surfaces with a midnight blue dial which makes the three snailed silver subdials stand out beautifully.

The watch is paired with a blue suede strap with crocodile pattern embossing and is delivered with an additional rubber strap offering a sportier alternative. Price: € 3,995

The second watch, the Highlife Chronograph Automatic ref. FC-391SGR4NH6, is a special edition limited to just 1,888 pieces.

The stainless steel case frames a matt, opaline dial with dark green counters and outer ring.

This variation is matched to a green suede strap with crocodile pattern embossing and comes with two additional options: a stainless steel bracelet and a green rubber strap. Its suggested retail price is € 3,495.

Visible through the transparent sapphire crystal case back, the self-winding FC-391 calibre  operates at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) with a power reserve of 60 hours. The movement is embellished by Côtes de Genève decoration. frederiqueconstant.com
