Frederique Constant releases latest collab with vintage motorboat nonprofit
Frederique Constant has launched the 2026 Classics Runabout Automatic GMT, continuing its long-standing partnership with the Riva Historical Society (RHS).
The RHS is an international non-profit organisation founded in Milan, whose primary mission is the preservation and restoration of classic, vintage wooden motorboats designed by the legendary Italian nautical brand Riva.
Since 2013, every two years Frederique Constant unveils a limited edition timepiece in tribute to the boats, while also supporting their preservation.
This new release introduces a manufacture GMT module to the collection, built on the FC350 automatic base movement with a 38-hour power reserve.
Available in deep blue or teak-brown, the 42 mm dial features a satin-finish and vertical striping designed to mirror the teak foredecks of the Riva boats. The 24-hour GMT scale is placed at the centre of the dial to remove the need for a separate day/night indicator.
Visible through a smoked sapphire caseback featuring the Riva Historical Society logo, the movement is decorated with vertical Côtes de Genève finishing.
Both colourways are limited to 888 pieces, engraved with their individual edition number, and are priced at £1,795 / $2,195.
