Commentary
The Frederique Constant Vintage Rally Healey collection receives a refresh once every two years. This year, they released three novelties. Two automatic watches in two different case sizes of 40mm and 36mm, each with its own distinct dial colour of British Racing Green and Healey Blue. And a bi-compax chronograph in Healey Blue.
The first model is released in a non-limited British Racing Green dial in a 40mm stainless steel case. This is powered by an in-house automatic movement with no date display.
The second model dial in Healey Blue, a colour which is inspired by one of the metallic blue paintwork on the Austin-Healey 3000 MKII BM7 motor car. This model is a limited edition of 1888 pieces and features a 36mm case.
And the final model is the chronograph. Also in the Healey blue dial featuring a bi-compax layout for the chronograph counters. This model is housed in a 42mm stainless steel case, and is a limited edition of 1888 pieces.
Release details
In 2025, the highly anticipated Vintage Rally Healey line – released only once every two years – makes its return not with one, nor two, but three distinct models. Collectors continue to appreciate the nod to Healey, a reference to one of the most iconic small racing cars – a quintessentially British exception that has delighted gentleman drivers since 1952.
Vintage Rally Healey Automatic – The First Unlimited Classics
It took no fewer than three models to fully capture the spirit and variety of this motoring legend. Though the Austin-Healey no longer competes in the world’s great rallies, it continues to inspire a true retro automotive lifestyle.
Two years ago, the Classics Vintage Rally Healey Automatic won hearts with its British racing green dial and minimalist elegance. Featuring just three hands, it encapsulated the Austin-Healey ethos. The 2025 version, powered once again by the automatic FC-301 calibre with a 38-hour power reserve, is its ultimate heir – and this time, it is not limited. Enthusiasts will recognize the 40 mm steel case with engraved closed caseback, luminous applied indexes, hand-polished hands and, above all, the signature brown perforated calfskin strap – evoking the driving gloves of racers past.
British Minimalism
To maintain its tradition of vintages, Frederique Constant has, of course, retained limited editions. The first of these, produced in 1,888 pieces, features a 36 mm steel case with three hands and a date window – the seconds hand is red, a hallmark of all 2025 models, highlighting their sporty character. As tradition dictates, the caseback is solid and engraved with the silhouette of the Healey.
The dial showcases one of the flagship colours of 2025: Healey blue, inspired by the metallic blue colour of the Austin-Healey 3000 MKII BM7. Frederique Constant has chosen a sunburst finish to reflect the light towards the luminous applied indexes, complemented by a large “12” at twelve o’clock. As with each model, the dial bears the logos of its two proud parents: “Frederique Constant Genève” and “Healey”, in navy blue to match the flange.
Racing Spirit
The second limited edition, also capped at 1,888 pieces and mounted on a navy blue calfskin strap with contrast stitching, expresses a more assertively sporty identity. Its chronograph is housed in a 42 mm steel case with an open caseback. The watch is dual by nature: two colours (Healey blue dial, navy blue flange), two counters (small seconds at 9 o’clock, 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock), and two pushers.
