ABF Franck Muller Vanguard V45 Carbon Fiber 25th Anniversary
The ABF Franck Muller Vanguard V45 25th Anniversary edition combines a carbon fiber case with a pixel-inspired exterior design, creating a distinctive technical appearance within the Vanguard V45 collection.
The case measures 45mm × 14mm and follows the curved profile of the Vanguard series. The pixel-style pattern extends across the case and dial, creating a coordinated geometric appearance from different viewing angles.
Inside is an ETA 2824 automatic mechanical movement operating at 28,800 vph / 4Hz. The watch is paired with a flexible silicone strap featuring a high-density textile surface.
45mm Carbon Fiber Case
The V45 uses a 45mm carbon fiber case with a thickness of 14mm.
Carbon fiber gives the case a layered visual texture that differs noticeably from conventional stainless steel construction.
The material also works particularly well with the geometric styling of this edition, allowing the case structure and pixel-inspired surface details to become important parts of the overall design.
Pixel-Inspired Case and Dial Design
One of the defining visual elements of this V45 edition is its pixel-inspired pattern.
Geometric elements extend across both the case and dial, creating a coordinated horizontal and vertical arrangement.
Rather than treating the dial and case as completely separate surfaces, the design uses repeating geometric elements to establish a more continuous visual relationship between them.
This gives the 25th Anniversary configuration a distinctly modern and technical character.
Curved Vanguard Case Profile
The V45 maintains the characteristic curved architecture of the Vanguard collection.
Instead of sitting completely flat, the elongated case follows a pronounced longitudinal curve designed to sit closer to the natural shape of the wrist.
This curved construction is particularly relevant to a 45mm case because it affects how the larger dimensions are distributed across the wrist.
ETA 2824 Automatic Mechanical Movement
The watch is powered by an ETA 2824 automatic mechanical movement.
Its operating frequency is:
28,800 vph / 4Hz
The automatic winding system uses normal wrist movement to provide energy to the mechanical movement during wear and also supports manual winding through the crown.
The 28,800 vph frequency corresponds to a 4Hz operating rate.
Silicone Strap with High-Density Textile Surface
The V45 is fitted with a flexible silicone strap designed to follow the curvature of the case and wrist.
Its exterior incorporates a high-density textile surface, adding a woven texture to the strap while maintaining the flexible silicone structure underneath.
This combination complements the carbon fiber case by introducing another technical texture without relying on a conventional metal bracelet.
Integrated Strap Connection
The strap incorporates an internal steel connection structure where it meets the case.
Combined with the curved V45 architecture, the strap follows the direction of the case toward the wrist rather than extending outward as a completely flat component.
The result is a continuous transition between the large carbon fiber case and flexible strap.

Carbon Fiber and Pixel Design
The combination of carbon fiber and pixel-inspired geometry is the main visual identity of this V45 configuration.
Carbon fiber provides the case with a naturally layered surface, while the geometric pattern introduces a more structured design across the case and dial.
The contrast between these elements separates this edition visually from conventional steel Vanguard V45 configurations and from versions that rely primarily on colored side channels or polished case components.
Wearing and Care
The curved V45 case and flexible silicone strap are designed to follow the wrist profile despite the substantial 45mm dimensions.
Carbon fiber surfaces should be cleaned using a soft microfiber cloth. Abrasive polishing compounds should be avoided because aggressive polishing can alter the appearance of the carbon surface and defined geometric details.
The textile surface of the strap can be cleaned gently when necessary and should be allowed to dry naturally.
When adjusting the mechanical movement, operate the crown smoothly and avoid forcing it if unusual resistance is encountered.
