This carefully thought-out decision by the Maison means the watch is better able to withstand day-to-day challenges, returning swiftly to regular oscillations after any disturbance. The FC-716 calibre is itself derived from a technical base that has been used to power the Manufacture\u2019s collections since 2015, the FC-715, and uses over 90% of the same components, making it exceptionally well tried and tested \u2013 and highly reliable.<\/p>\n<p>The watch sports new decorations, including a fan-shaped Cotes de Gen\u00e8ve finish that replaces the previous circular motif. The finishings can be admired through the see-through caseback of the piece, which is water resistant to 50 metres.

The watchmaking aspect is embodied by the three redesigned steel-coloured central hands; the hours and minutes hands are now diamond-cut, as are the hour markers. The hand-polished hands glide above a fine sunburst dial, available in three different colours reflecting three quite different personalities: bright, radiant silver grey; deep, contemporary midnight blue; and a bold and unusual British racing green. The pieces feature a \u2018railtrack\u2019 minute circle and an onion-shaped crown at three o\u2019clock.
