Under the hood
As is always the case with Frederique Constant, the real value of the Vintage Rally Healey is the movement. It uses an in-house caliber FC-397 automatic movement, which is based on the Seillita caliber SW510, a gold standard for automatic stopwatch complications.
Frederique Constant develops its movements, but unlike other luxury watchmakers, it does not put superfluous decorations on them, such as fancy finishes and ornate engravings. This keeps the price of the watch down without sacrificing any performance.
The Vintage Rally Healey uses 27 jewels, has a 62-hour power reserve and beats at a frequency of 28,800. Its chronograph complication has a standard operation with a start-stop pusher at two o’clock and a fly-back reset pusher at four o’clock.
As indicated by the matching red hands, elapsed seconds are registered on the central hand, and elapsed minutes are registered on the 30-minute sub-dial at three o’clock.
