Frédérique Constant Classics Carree Automatic silver dial leather strap 30 x 33 mm

A return to the roots

Since its creation in 1988, the Frédérique Constant brand has pursued a simple objective: to create quality Swiss watches at an affordable price and democratize Swiss Made luxury watchmaking. To achieve this, it offers watches with pure lines and meticulous finishing, all powered by reliable, high-performance Swiss calibers. For this year, the Genevan Manufacture revisits its timeless model with a more modern, stronger, more contemporary design.

Original, timeless aesthetic codes

For this new model, the brand goes back to the sources of classicism, which has defined timeless aesthetic canons over the centuries. These include a guilloché dial, Dauphine hands and delicate applied hour markers.

This reference features a 30 x 33 mm steel case, worn on a black alligator-finish calfskin leather strap. Its silvered dial presents the date at 6 o'clock, in classic fashion in a rectangular aperture that echoes the shape of the case. The whole is completed, in the center, by a railway track framing a grooved finish. The whole is, of course, protected by a domed sapphire crystal.

Mechanism side

This Classics Automatic embarks the self-winding FC-303 caliber. Beating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, it offers a comfortable 38-hour power reserve, but above all an attractive finish. Visible through its transparent caseback, the timepiece exposes its mechanical intimacy and the finishes dear to the Geneva manufacture, such as Côtes de Genève and perlage, without limit.

In brief

• A classic watch with timeless style
• A Swiss automatic movement
• A silver dial featuring attractive guilloché
