Once again this year, Frederique Constant is revisiting its emblematic Vintage Rally line, created in partnership with Austin-Healey and designed especially for four-wheel collectors. These are three Vintage Rally Healey Automatic Small Seconds, each limited to 888 pieces and all authenticated by the original "Healey" logo on the dial. The latter is dressed in green in the most iconic variant, winking at the colour in full British Austin-Healey style. For this model with its 40 mm stainless steel case (the same diameter as the other two), Frederique Constant has chosen silvered and luminescent applied hour markers, as well as generously proportioned 6 and 12 o'clock numerals. At 9 o'clock, on the other hand, there is an off-centre small seconds hand, while at 3 o'clock there is a date window. The strap is in brown perforated leather. Price: 1,490 euros. The second version, also in steel, focuses on an opposite aesthetic characterised by a monochromatic grey shade for the dial and strap. Price: 1,490 euros. Finally, the last version is intended to be the most classic, with a rose gold-plated case that matches the indexes, hands and crown in the same colour. The dial is in midnight blue, as is the leather strap. Price: 1,690 euros. These three new timepieces feature a case back engraved with a Healey in full swing, the famous Healey 100S, registered NOJ393, bought in 1969 by a collector for 155 pounds and resold for almost a million euros in December 2011. Each watch will be presented in a collector's box containing a miniature NOJ393.
