Description

More than just a watch, the Moneta Moonphase is a journey through time, a tribute to timeless elegance.A return to the rootsSince its creation in 1988, the Frédérique Constant brand has pursued a simple objective: to create quality Swiss watches at an affordable price and democratize Swiss Made luxury watchmaking. To achieve this, it offers watches with pure lines and meticulous finishing, all powered by reliable, high-performance Swiss calibers.Original, timeless aesthetic codesThe hallmark of the “classic”? Never going out of fashion. Geneva’s fine watchmaking industry defined its canons over two centuries ago. They remain more relevant than ever in 2024, with barely altered, refined aesthetics, but the precision and reliability of the 21st century.The Classics line embodies this approach, which combines tradition and modernity. The Moneta Moonphase is a new jewel in this collection. Its name, borrowed from the Latin “moneta” meaning “coin”, is a nod to its unique design. Indeed, the bezel of this watch, with its clean lines and rounded profile, recalls the contours of a coin. This subtle aesthetic detail lends the Moneta Moonphase timeless charm and understated elegance.Inspired by the iconic watches of the 60s and 70s, the Moneta Moonphase boasts a 37mm stainless steel case, applied hour markers and a sunray dial that lend it a vintage yet contemporary allure. The moonphase, discreetly integrated into the dial, adds a touch of poetry and underscores the timeless character of this timepiece.Worn on a calfskin leather strap accompanied by a discreet pin buckle, it displays just the right amount of classic sobriety.This version features three central Dauphine-style hands flying over a blue dial. All protected by a domed sapphire crystal. A subtle combination of tradition and elegance!A precise and reliable Swiss caliberThe Moneta Moonphase is equipped with a quartz caliber FC-206 (Base Ronda 706). This movement is precise and reliable, and offers 60 months of autonomy. The quartz caliber is an ideal choice for people looking for a watch that’s easy to use and requires no special maintenance.
