Frederique Constant has a new Tourbillion watch that offers elegance and style.

Two years ago, Frederique Constant rolled out a unique tourbillion model, which was manufactured from advanced materials—this is where everything started. The latest watch is an upgrade of sorts. And the good thing is that it has a rather affordable price tag for a limited edition watch, matching the price range of its 2023 predecessor with a silvered blue dial.

It comes with a striking green dial with different shades. While the center of the dial has a light green shade, the edges are characterized by a dark hue that creates a beautiful contrast between different sections. And thanks to the sunray finish, the front face looks quite stylish.

The watch is also equipped with a 39 mm stainless steel casing, which is accentuated by a metallic luster that blends smoothly with the hour markers. Hour markers and the hour hand are manufactured from stainless steel to complement the casing.

At the 6 o’clock position, a tourbillion offers beautiful views of the FC-980-4 caliber. Even though the caliber can be viewed from the front face, this watch also comes with a clear case back that expands the views.

The anchor and escapement wheel are made from silicon. (Frederique Constant has used this material since 2008.)

The green alligator leather strap is the icing on the cake. It highlights the green theme and makes it stand out.

As a limited edition watch, the Frederique Constant Classic Tourbillon Manufacture will be capped at 150 pieces, and each will retail at €15,000.

Citizen celebrates 40 years of aqualand with limited anniversary edition
Four decades deep: Citizen's limited aqualand edition celebrates electronic depth-sensing innovation
Citizens aqualand 40 years

Citizen celebrates 40 years of underwater innovation with the Promaster Aqualand 40th Anniversary Limited Edition, a tribute to the 1985 model that introduced electronic depth meters to professional diving. This $595 limited edition retains the iconic design elements of the original while incorporating modern materials and a commitment to environmental responsibility.
The first Aqualand was a breakthrough in 1985, being the world’s first diver’s watch with an electronic depth meter. This innovation transformed professional diving by providing real-time depth data alongside standard timekeeping functions, setting a new standard for underwater instruments.
The anniversary edition closely mirrors the distinctive look that made the original famous. The crown is positioned at 4 o’clock, three push buttons are thoughtfully placed, and the round depth sensor at 9 o’clock echoes the original’s signature feature. The updated model uses a gray, brushed stainless steel case with gold accents, lending a celebratory feel for the 40th anniversary.
Technically, the new Aqualand maintains the pioneering spirit of its predecessor. The digital display shows time, calendar, alarm, and chronograph functions, and in dive mode, it measures depth and dive time. The ascent rate alarm warns divers if they ascend too quickly, enhancing safety during decompression.
The BENEBiOL™ polyurethane strap is made from plant-based materials, offering durability in water while reducing environmental impact. This eco-friendly approach underscores Citizen’s commitment to responsible manufacturing without sacrificing performance in marine environments.
Powered by the Cal.C520 movement, the watch operates within ±20 seconds per month and supports full digital functionality. The watch meets ISO standards for 200-meter water resistance, making it suitable for professional diving. It features luminous hands and markers, a unidirectional rotating bezel, a screw-down crown, and a 1/100-second chronograph with a 100-minute counter for precise underwater timing.
The case back features a special design inspired by the original sensor, adding a unique touch exclusive to this anniversary edition. Limited to 5,800 pieces and launching in July 2025, the watch is aimed at both diving professionals and collectors who appreciate technical innovation in timepieces.
At $595, the Aqualand 40th Anniversary Edition offers a chance to celebrate the history of electronic diving watches while delivering modern performance, proving that thoughtful evolution keeps classic technologies relevant and reliable. Find out more at www.citizenwatch.com.
