The last Healey NOJ car was almost destroyed after a crash during the Le Mans 24-hour race. But May 2013 became the month of the Austin Healey, with the restored NOJ model presented at a Bonham’s Auction earlier this month and the 4th European Healey Rally being held in Scotland, for which Frederique Constant was the Official Timekeeper. As a tribute to the beautifully constructed and classic Healey NOJ car, Frederique Constant has launched a Vintage Rally “Healey” Collection that consists of three limited-edition models.

VINTAGE RALLY “HEALEY” CHRONOGRAPH by Frédérique Constant

The classically-designed pieces are available as self-winding three hand a chronograph versions, with a 40mm and 43mm diameter stainless-steel cases respectively, matched with a vintage style “O-Rings” leather strap. The sporty appearance of each of the new models gives them that unmistakable race car driver look, from the unique “O-Rings” leather strap, to the unmistakable Healey logo on the dial.

The two automatic versions – the FC-303HS5B6 and the FC-303HV5B6 – are driven by the FC-303 calibre movement, which offers a 38-hour power reserve and water resistance to 50 metres. The chronograph offers 46 hours of power reserve and is water resistant to 100 metres. Each of the new models features the Healey logo on the dial and is delivered in a specially designed gift box complete with a miniature replica of the iconic Healey NOJ393.
