The new Classics Moneta Moonphase takes its name from its flange, which draws inspiration from the milled edge of a coin. The timepiece comes in a 37-millimetre steel case that offers a fresh take on the fluted bezel, a great Geneva classic, in the form of a more original, atypical creation, with a quartz movement.


37 - MILLIMETRE
DIAMETER CASE

The upshot is that at first glance, there’s nothing to give away whether the timepiece is mechanical or quartz-powered. Rather than focusing on technical issues, the aim is simply that of creating beauty and harmony, using the best calibre that will fit into a 37-millimetre diameter case at the best price.

EDGE OF
A COIN

A dial sporting a delicate sunburst finish, two Dauphine hands and applique hour markers. The ‘Moneta’ name is a nod to the flange of the timepiece, which features a delicately grooved guilloche pattern reminiscent of the edge of a coin.

QUARTZ
MOVEMENT

With the same attention to simplicity for all, the calibre and its complication are adjusted together, using the crown; not only that, the quartz movement will keep the moonphase accurate for months, even if the watch is not worn 

THREE DIFFERENT COLOUR SCHEMES
FIVE YEARS BATTERY LIFE

The new Classics Moneta Moonphase has a guaranteed battery life of up to 60 months – a full five years. It comes in a 37-millimetre steel case with a choice of three different colour schemes for the dial and strap: a highly contemporary full black model, a radiant navy blue version and a more conventional watchmaking style featuring a silver-coloured dial on a brown strap.

Bridges are made to be crossed, and Frederique Constant has been bridge-building for over thirty-five years. Indeed, the Geneva manufacture is removing the barriers to a broader expression of fine watchmaking one by one – not least by creating affordable luxury timepieces, thus bringing together two adjectives previously held to be mutually exclusive. Today, the new Classics Moneta Moonphase perpetuates that same vision.
