The Classics Moneta Moonphase by Frederique Constant is more than just a timepiece—it’s a perfect blend of tradition and modernity. Taking inspiration from the milled edge of a coin, its 37mm steel case is a contemporary reimagining of the iconic fluted bezel, a hallmark of Geneva watchmaking. With a choice of blue, black, or silver dials, the Moneta offers all the hallmarks of luxury craftsmanship at an accessible price point, thanks to its quartz movement with an impressive 5-year power reserve.
For over 35 years, Frederique Constant has been breaking boundaries in horology, creating timepieces that embody the essence of affordable luxury. The Classics Moneta Moonphase continues this legacy, blurring the lines between mechanical and quartz watches. By eliminating the seconds hand, the watch creates a seamless aesthetic that makes it impossible to tell at first glance whether it’s mechanical or quartz-powered—emphasising beauty and harmony over technical distinctions.
The Moneta name itself is a tribute to the watch’s guilloche flange, with its delicately grooved texture resembling the edge of a finely minted coin. At 6 o’clock, the moonphase complication, a symbol of traditional watchmaking, takes centre stage. Framed by a circular guilloche cut-out, it hovers above the words “Swiss Made,” a subtle reminder of the brand’s Geneva roots.

Every detail of the Moneta Moonphase speaks to the highest standards of craftsmanship. Its anti-reflective sapphire crystal ensures clarity, while hand-polished Dauphine hands and appliqué hour markers add a touch of refinement. The genuine leather strap, adorned with topstitching that matches the dial or strap, completes the look of understated luxury.
With a battery life of up to 60 months and a choice of three stunning colour combinations—sleek black, radiant navy blue, and classic silver with a brown strap—the Classics Moneta Moonphase is designed to meet the demands of modern watch enthusiasts while staying true to the timeless traditions of fine watchmaking.
This is more than a watch; it’s a statement of elegance, heritage, and innovation.
