#FR2NCK MULLER Vanguard Beach Limited Edition
After the success of their first collaboration launched in 2023, Franck Muller and Tokyo-based street-wear brand #FR2 have returned with a new timepiece: the #FR2NCK MULLER Vanguard Beach Limited Edition.
Known for its provocative Fxxking Rabbits motif, #FR2 label first partnered with Franck Muller two years ago to create the #FR2NCK MULLER Vanguard. The limited-edition watch paired #FR2’s signature graphic with an edgy, fashion-forward design. This year’s follow-up from Franck Muller and #FR2 features the same Fxxking Rabbits motif.
In lieu of a monochromatic palette, however, the new #FR2NCK MULLER Vanguard Beach Limited Edition spotlights vivid summer hues to evoke the carefree spirit of sun-soaked days and sea breezes.
The #FR2NCK MULLER Vanguard Beach Limited Edition is available in three colourways derived from the original Vanguard Beach line: Heatwave Red, Surf Blue, and Tropical Green, available in just 300 pieces each.
The iconic Fxxking Rabbits are the anchoring elements on these watches, naturally, and variously engaged in their pursuits under a beach umbrella, on a surfboard, and amongst lush vegetation.
To complete each scene, the date window has been cleverly positioned at 2 o’clock both as a subtle callback to #FR2, and to double as the blazing sun shining overhead. For added dimension and nighttime visibility, the rabbit motif and skeletonised obelisk hands are applied with Super-Luminova, giving the dial a luminous glow in the dark.
The tonneau-shaped Vanguard case here has been rendered in glass fibre-composite, for a bold presence in a light yet robust package suitable for everyday wear.
Each case, in turn, comes fitted with a striking nylon strap, with leather underside, featuring a hook-and-loop closure for convenience and sand-free cleanups. The straps are printed with various details – bold text that harks back to archetypal Japanese streetwear aesthetics, as well as a unique graphic that extends the watch dial’s visual motif.
Powering each timepiece is Franck Muller’s self-winding MVT 2536-SCDT2H movement. As a regional exclusive, the new #FR2NCK MULLER Vanguard Beach Limited Edition is available across Asia Pacific from 17 July 2025. Each of the three references is limited to just 300 pieces.
