Sailing along with the Frederique Constant Runabout GMT
Ah, I still fondly remember when I first learned about Frederique Constant. The idea that you could get champagne-level watches at beer prices was simply entrancing. In fact, that’s what a lot of the crowd-funded watches try to position themselves as. However, with Frederique Constant, my experience has been that the products usually match to the marketing hype. Today, we’re taking a look at the first GMT from the brand that I’ve had cross my desk, the Frederique Constant Runabout GMT.

The Archimede Pilot 42 GMT is trippin’ time zones
The rest of the Archimede Pilot 42 GMT is standard fare, in terms of the case, handset, and dial. Well, ok, the dial isn’t exactly the same as other Fliegers. You do have the 24-hour track inside of the main hour indices (please note, all hands stretch to their appropriate track). You also will notice that there’s a date window (color-matching for the win) showing up at the 6 o’clock position. This is not totally uncommon on a Flieger, but it looks to be particularly well-executed here.
