Frederique Constant Runabout Automatic watch FC-303RMLN5B6. Part of the Runabout series. Dial Size 42mm. Made in Switzerland. Limited edition of 1888 timepieces released globally.

Since 2009, Frederique Constant has been paying tribute to the legendary 1920s’ Runabout yachts. In 2013, the Brand started a partnership with the RHS (Riva Historical Society): a Milan-based association founded in 1988, dedicated to the preservation and restoration of classic Runabout boats that were designed by the passionate boating enthusiast, Mr Carlo Riva. Piero Mario Gibellini and Carlos Riva founded this non-profit organization, whose purpose is to preserve the worldwide patrimony of this established heritage.

Since their alliance, Frederique Constant has created many limited-edition timepieces to support the work of the Riva Historical Society. Each piece draws inspiration from these Runabout boats’ heritage, imagery, and universe. Borrowing certain hallmarks relating to yachting and escapism, the “Runabout” line expresses the fine craftsmanship and luxury common to both enterprises and their creations. Each watch has an individual number engraved on the case back.

Faithful to its tradition, each of the FC-303RMLN5B6 is delivered in a special limited-edition box including a miniature wooden replica of a Runabout yacht. Paying tribute to the iconic designs of the elegant roaring twenties sports boats.

Featuring the FC-303 mechanical automatic movement with a 38 hour power reserve, 26 jewels and running at 28,800 alt / h. The case size is 42mm with a thickness of 11.5mm and is made with polished stainless steel. The lug width is 21mm.
