At Frederique Constant, the GMT function - that can display a second time zone - had previously only been offered in the Classics collection. Today, the GMT joins the new Yacht Timer collection that was unveiled a couple of days ago.
Both Yacht Timer GMT timepieces feature the same tasteful sporty chic style with a modern 42mm diameter, clean lines and rose gold finish. They are waterresistant to 100 meters. The GMT on the functional and highly legible Yacht Timer is displayed on a central hand. The time at the home base can be instantly read on the inner ring marked with a 24-hour clock thanks to a red-tip hand. There is no need for a day-night indicator since the dark half of the GMT's ring marks night from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM and the light side indicates day for the other 12 hours. There is a window at 3 o’clock showing the date paired with the local time on the central hands.
Two models are already available. One features a rose gold-plated case, indexes and hands - coated with Super-LumiNova - on a white grained dial. This version comes with a brown alligator strap.
The strap on the other variation is in bicolor steel and rose gold-plated steel. It has the same glowing hands, also finished in rose gold, that hover over a dial with a grained anthracite background. Both models also come with an extra rubber strap.
The FC-350 movement provides a 38-hour power reserve and beats at the frequency of 28,800 vph.
Prices: model with leather strap: CHF 2095 / steel/rose gold bracelet: CHF 1995
