Frederique Constant’s Classic Moneta Moonphase Arrives in the United States

Frederique Constant has officially brought its Classic Moneta Moonphase quartz watch to the U.S. market, making it accessible to American watch enthusiasts. Initially launched in Europe in September 2024, this timepiece garnered significant attention for its blend of affordability and craftsmanship. Priced at $1,295, the Classic Moneta Moonphase is now available for purchase stateside, marking an exciting addition to the brand’s lineup.

Overview of the Classic Moneta Moonphase

The Frederique Constant Classic Moneta Moonphase is designed to offer an elegant yet accessible option for those seeking a classic moonphase watch. Here’s a closer look at its specifications:

– Case Dimensions: The watch features a 37mm stainless steel case with a thickness of 7.65mm, making it a sleek and wearable option for a variety of wrist sizes.

– Movement: Powered by the FC-206 quartz movement, the watch includes functions for hours, minutes, and moonphase. The battery life is estimated at 60 months, reducing the need for frequent maintenance.

– Dial Options: Available in three dial colors – black, navy blue, and white – each version boasts a sunburst finish that enhances its visual appeal.

– Design Features: The polished stainless steel case matches the polished hands and applied indices, while a coin-edge finish on the inner dial track adds a touch of refinement. The watch is protected by an anti-reflective convex sapphire crystal.
