Frederique Constant FC-942ABSHPT Moon Phase Watch

FC-942ABSHPT

Overview

The Frederique Constant Manufacture Heart Beat FC-942ABSHPT is a 42mm men's automatic watch with a platinum case and a black analog dial protected by sapphire crystal. It uses a FC-942 caliber self-winding mechanical movement that can be manually wound and hacked (the second hand stops when the crown is pulled out). It ticks 8 times per second which gives the second hand a smoother movement than quartz watches which tick once per second. The watch should run for up to 42 hours when fully wound and will self-wind when moved.

The FC-942ABSHPT is currently ranked #332 in popularity out of 345 watches in this catalog. No retailer link is on file for .com; current availability is unknown. This watch is part of a family of two watches that are identical except for their color or strap. You can see the other variations in this family as well as other similar models on the left side of the pagein the similar watches section below. By clicking the checkbox under a similar model you can compare that model with this one side-by-side. We use nearly 100 different weighted criteria to calculate which models are the most similar to one another.

The case of the FC-942ABSHPT measures approximately 42mm wide (not including the crown) by 12mm thick and is water resistant to 30 meters. This should be sufficient for splashes & rain but is not recommended for baths, showers, swimming or diving. The platinum bezel is fixed (cannot be rotated). The gap between the lugs is 20mm and the leather band can be removed using a band removal tool to be replaced with another band.

The FC-942ABSHPT provides the following features and complications:

  • Minute hand
  • Hour hand
  • Date subdial to show the day of the month
  • Moonphase window to show the phase of the moon
  • Open heart / skeletonized design to show off the movement
