Introducing: The Frederique Constant x Time+Tide Highlife Moonphase Date Manufacture ‘Onyx Moon’



I’d say the most obvious change is apparent, but really, there are a number of others that jump out as well. Let’s start with the bracelet—FC’s first-ever integrated five-link bracelet that adds a bit of a dressier touch and pairs well with the moonphase complication. Then there’s the dial, made of natural onyx stone and polished to a very mirror-like surface, featuring pops of color with red-printed text for the 31st of the month and “GENÈVE.” But the first here is that this is the brand’s first watch to completely lack hour markers. Then, inside is the first time the FC-716 movement has been placed in a Highlife. The automatic movement has a 72-hour power reserve, and the Côtes de Genève and perlage finishes are visible through the display caseback.
