- Lépine = Open face
- This variant differs from the registered model no. 1 1916 only by a slightly different bridge shape and a slightly different dial side.
- Here, the year of registration was added to the caliber designation Model No. 1, as Froidevaux registered a Model No. 1 a total of five times over several years. This was absolutely unusual, as manufacturers did not normally assign the same model number more than once.
