Frederique Constant Runabout Automatic GMT LE FC-350RBR5B6

The Frederique Constant Classics Runabout Automatic GMT FC-350RBR5B6 is a Swiss-made dress watch that carries a genuine story on the wrist. Since 2009, Frederique Constant's Geneva manufacture has dedicated its Runabout collection to the legendary wooden speedboats of the 1920s Riviera, produced in official partnership with the Riva Historical Society — the Italian custodians of those iconic mahogany hulls.

This edition captures that world directly in its rich brown dial, finished with fine vertical lines that evoke planked mahogany decking, set with hand-applied indexes in a warm vintage "old radium" tone beneath a convex sapphire crystal. The polished 42mm stainless steel case is slim and refined at under 13mm, sized for confident presence under a shirt cuff and finished with a genuine brown leather strap on a secure folding buckle.

Beneath the caseback runs the automatic calibre FC-350, a Swiss movement with 26 jewels beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a 38-hour power reserve — and it brings the traveller's complication that defines this reference: a dedicated GMT hand and date at 6 o'clock, letting you read a second time zone at a glance.

It reflects the value proposition that has made Frederique Constant one of Switzerland's most respected accessible luxury houses since 1988: Geneva-built quality, classical design and useful complications at a price that undercuts the established names. This is a strictly limited edition of 888 pieces worldwide, each engraved "ONE OF 888" on the caseback — the brand's signature marking for this series, applied identically to every piece rather than individual numbering — and each presented in a collector's gift box containing a miniature replica runabout boat.

What we love about this watch - We love that the FC-350RBR5B6 is a dress watch with somewhere to be. The mahogany-brown dial is one of the most distinctive Frederique Constant has ever produced — warm, tactile and utterly unlike another silver-dialled classic — and the GMT function turns elegance into a genuine travel companion. Add the Riva partnership provenance, the limited run of just 888 pieces and that beautifully theatrical gift box with its miniature speedboat, and you have a collector's piece that tells a richer story than watches at twice the price.
