Automatic Square FC-303V4C24 Watch

The Watch

Frédérique Constant was born in its present form in 1988, founded by Aletta Bax and Peter Stas. The Geneva-based house has since grown into one of the most respected names in watchmaking, largely thanks to its signature concept of accessible luxury timepieces. Always pushing to elevate its offering, the brand proudly introduces a new addition to its Classics collection: the Automatic Square FC-303V4C24 watch. It presents a stainless steel case finished with a striking rose gold plating that commands attention. Its polished finish delivers timeless elegance, catching delicate reflections in varying light. Graceful curved lines further enhance the case's beauty. A convex sapphire crystal protects the dial against scratches with uncompromising durability. The crown, positioned at 3 o'clock, also benefits from rose gold plating. Its "onion" shape allows easy adjustment of the time and date. The caseback is secured by 4 screws and is transparent, offering a stunning view of the automatic movement that brings this timepiece to life. Around the caseback, technical engravings in italics detail key specifications, including water resistance to 3 ATM and the watch's serial number.

The Dial

Sporting a refined white hue, this dial pairs effortlessly with any outfit. The first section features a beautiful sunray finish that catches the light with understated elegance. It houses sword-shaped hour markers crafted in stainless steel with a rose gold plating. Alongside them, a black minute track ensures precise timekeeping. The second section showcases a sumptuous "guilloché" finish, a testament to the brand's artisan expertise. Centrally positioned, the hour and minute hands are shaped in the classic "dauphine" style. A seconds hand completes the trio. All three hands also feature rose gold plating. A date window sits at 6 o'clock, elegantly framed in rose gold plating. Below it, "Swiss Made" confirms the watch's origins, while "Automatic" references the movement within. The Swiss manufacture signs the dial at 12 o'clock.

The Movement

Inside this timepiece beats a quality automatic movement, the Frédérique Constant FC-303 (26 jewels), developed on the highly regarded Sellita SW200-1 base caliber. With a 38-hour power reserve, it'll keep pace with your daily life without missing a beat. Running at 28,800 vph, the FC-303 delivers an almost hypnotic sweep of the seconds hand - 8 ticks per second. The movement also features quick-set date, a stop-seconds function, and the ability to be wound manually.

The Strap

To dress the Automatic Square FC-303V4C24 watch, the brand has selected a beautiful brown calfskin leather strap finished with tone-on-tone stitching for a refined look. It promises outstanding comfort on the wrist and fastens with a pin buckle engraved with the brand's logo.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 30 meters, or 3 atmospheres in watchmaking terms, this watch is no water enthusiast. Water is its delicate mechanism's worst enemy, and our team strongly advises keeping it dry. It'll handle a rain shower or washing the dishes just fine - but skip the bath, the pool, and anything deeper. Keep it beautiful by keeping it dry.
