Harnessing the perpetual power of the sun, the Classics Moneta Solarmetre implements the first-ever solar-powered calibre from Frederique Constant.
Once charged, the new FC-120 solar quartz calibre can run for 10 months without any light. Its solar tech is concealed behind the white grained-effect dial, accented by applied diamond-cut indexes, silver-toned hour and minute hands, and a date window, all encapsulated in 39mm of polished stainless steel with a coin-edge bezel and screwed case back.

The Solarmetre Revolution: Elegance Reimagined
This timepiece ushers in a new era for the collection with the integration of the FC-120 Solarmetre caliber, a technological feat developed alongside La Joux-Perret. Its “cloud white” dial with a grained finish is actually a sophisticated translucent surface: it allows light to pass through to power hidden photovoltaic cells, enabling the watch to run potentially forever as long as it is exposed to a light source. A single minute of exposure provides enough energy for a full day of operation, and in total darkness, the rechargeable battery offers an impressive 10 months of autonomy. This 39 mm model perfectly blends this cutting-edge engine with a classic aesthetic featuring a “coin-edge” inner ring and a brown leather strap.
