If you’ve been searching for an eloquent blend of classic design, moonphase complication, and affordability, Frederique Constant has just added a chic option to your wishlist. The Geneva-based watchmaker has expanded its already elegant Classics Moneta Moonphase collection with two new exciting models. Let’s unpack what makes these new offerings tick (pun totally intended)!
Launched in August 2024, the Classics Moneta Moonphase is the epitome of coin-like elegance, which is no accident given its fluted flange and polished stainless steel cases. The new additions maintain this charm but bring a bit more—literally—with a splash of yellow gold-colored PVD treatment for one variation and a stylish Milanese mesh bracelet for the other.
It’s worth noting the quartz movement choice—purists may argue for mechanical, but the lack of winding and the lower price point certainly makes for happier wallets. Meanwhile, the sunray-finished silver dial and a brown leather strap keep the design classic for the yellow-gold version. It screams sophistication without emptying your bank account.
If stainless steel whispers Milanese class into your ear, the second version won’t leave you cold. The navy blue dial on this model delivers a 70s vintage spirit filled to the brim with timeless charm. Light refracts beautifully across the sunray-finished face, shimmering like an old-timey disco ball—a party where every second is worth savoring, even if you can’t see them due to a missing seconds hand.
Both models come equipped with a signature moonphase at 6 o’clock, making it a great piece for avid stargazers as it gently reminds you that it’s not just any Tuesday—it’s a moon-phase Tuesday! These watches encapsulate Frederique Constant’s mission to deliver luxury that feels special yet attainable.
For those who dread the complicated technicalities of finer horlogerie, the Classics Moneta Moonphase is refreshingly uncomplicated. Just strap it on, admire the lunar cycle on your wrist, and let time glide by in style.
Needless to say, the new Moneta Moonphases are more than capable of holding their own in the world of accessible luxury timepieces. Whether you’re planning a stroll down a moonlit path or just need something to glance at while you ponder life’s deeper questions, these beauties are the conversation starters you didn’t know you needed.
