The Frederique Constant Manufacture Classic Power Reserve Big Date 40mm with Blue Dial is a sophisticated Swiss-made automatic watch. This timepiece features a striking blue analog dial with silver-tone hands and markers, housed within a 40mm round stainless steel case with a silver-tone bezel. Powered by the FC-735 caliber, it offers a comprehensive array of functions including Moonphase, Big Date, Power Reserve, hours, minutes, and seconds, all protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal. A blue leather strap with a buckle closure complements the dial, and the watch is water-resistant up to 5 Bar (50m), making it suitable for daily wear.
