ABF Franck Muller Vanguard Yachting V45 White Ceramic 44×54mm
The ABF Franck Muller Vanguard Yachting V45 combines a 44 × 54mm white ceramic case with blue side details, a curved sapphire crystal, Yachting-style dial, and ETA 2824 automatic mechanical movement.
Its multi-component sandwich-style case uses contrasting blue elements through the inner side channels and around the crown-side section. Combined with the white ceramic exterior, these details create one of the most recognizable visual characteristics of this V45 configuration.
The curved case, dial, hands, and rubber strap follow the distinctive wrist profile of the Vanguard collection.
44 × 54mm White Ceramic Case
The Vanguard Yachting V45 uses a 44 × 54mm white ceramic case.
The elongated tonneau-shaped construction follows a pronounced longitudinal curve rather than sitting completely flat across the wrist.
White ceramic gives the exterior a smooth, bright appearance and creates a strong contrast with the blue components positioned through the middle of the case.
Multi-Component Sandwich Case
The V45 uses a multi-component sandwich-style case architecture.
Different structural layers can be seen clearly from the side, with blue components positioned between the white ceramic exterior sections.
This layered construction adds depth to the side profile and allows the contrasting components to become part of the overall Vanguard design rather than functioning only as surface decoration.
Blue Side Channels
Blue side channels run through the inner section of the case, creating a clear visual separation between the white ceramic components.
Additional blue detailing is incorporated around the crown-side section.
The combination of white ceramic and blue structural details gives this Yachting V45 a distinctly different appearance from darker carbon-fiber or stainless-steel V45 configurations.
Yachting-Style Dial
The dial follows the Yachting theme with prominent raised numerals and a curved profile.
The numerals use recessed-edge detailing with filled inner sections, producing additional depth above the dial surface.
This three-dimensional construction works together with the curved hands and case profile to maintain the characteristic Vanguard architecture.
Sapphire Date Magnifier
The date display incorporates a sapphire magnifier.
A supporting magnification layer beneath the dial works with the date-window structure to increase the visual prominence of the calendar display.
The date system is integrated into the curved dial architecture rather than appearing as an isolated flat element.
Curved Sapphire Crystal with Coating
The V45 is fitted with a high-curvature sapphire crystal with optical coating.
The crystal follows the pronounced curvature of the case and dial, maintaining the continuous profile of the Vanguard design.
Its coating helps reduce surface reflections and improves visibility of the dial under changing lighting conditions.
Curved Hands
The hands are curved to follow the profile of the dial.
This is particularly important on the V45 because the dial and crystal both use pronounced curved structures.
The relationship between the curved hands, raised numerals, dial, and crystal contributes to the three-dimensional appearance of the watch when viewed from different angles.
ETA 2824 Automatic Mechanical Movement
The watch is powered by an ETA 2824 automatic mechanical movement operating at:
28,800 vph / 4Hz
The movement uses automatic winding and also supports manual winding through the crown.
Its power-reserve specification is approximately 42 hours.
Curved Wrist Profile
The V45 case is designed with a pronounced longitudinal curve that follows the shape of the wrist.
This is an important characteristic of the Vanguard architecture because the case measures 44 × 54mm and occupies considerably more wrist area than a conventional round watch.
The rubber strap continues the direction of the curved case, creating a smoother transition from the case toward the wrist.
Rubber Strap
The watch is fitted with a soft rubber strap incorporating a steel connection component at the case end.
The flexible strap works with the curved case architecture and complements the sport-oriented Yachting design.
316L Stainless Steel Folding Clasp
The strap is secured by a 316L stainless steel folding push-button clasp.
The folding construction provides a secure closure while maintaining a cleaner exterior appearance than a conventional pin buckle.

White Ceramic and Blue Case Architecture
The combination of white ceramic and blue structural components is the central visual feature of this Vanguard Yachting V45.
Instead of relying on a single-piece case appearance, the sandwich architecture separates the exterior into several visible layers.
White ceramic forms the main exterior surfaces, while blue components appear through the inner side channels and around the crown-side section.
Together with the curved Yachting dial and sapphire crystal, this creates a clear white-and-blue identity across the entire watch.
Wearing and Care
The curved 44 × 54mm case is designed to follow the wrist profile, while the flexible rubber strap continues the curvature toward the fastening point.
Ceramic offers a hard surface but should still be protected from strong impacts, particularly around case edges.
For regular cleaning, use a clean, soft microfiber cloth. Abrasive polishing materials should be avoided on the ceramic case and coated sapphire crystal.
When adjusting the time or date, operate the crown smoothly and avoid forcing the mechanism if unusual resistance is encountered.
