The brand has introduced a new edition of its Classic Tourbillon Manufacture in a striking green hue, featuring a matching dial and strap. Limited to just 150 pieces, this 39mm steel timepiece houses the self-winding FC-980 manufacture movement. Its classic design is elevated by a traditional onion-shaped crown, reminiscent of vintage pocket watches, and a transparent caseback that showcases the intricate movement. While tourbillons are usually seen in traditional white, grey, or black, this one stands out with a deep palm green sunburst dial. The sleek central hands move over polished hour markers, while the tourbillon itself tracks the seconds, with a fine hand placed on its upper bridge—a signature detail by Frédérique Constant.
