Classic Date Manufacture FC-706S3H6 Watch

The Watch

Founded in 1988 by Aletta Bax and Peter Stas, Frédérique Constant is a landmark Swiss watchmaking house. Crafting timepieces that blend sophistication with everyday versatility, the brand delivers models that are useful, reliable, elegant, and built to last. Today, it invites you to discover the Classic Date FC-706S3H6 watch from the Manufacture collection - a piece that adorns men's wrists with effortless distinction. Meticulously crafted, it features a round case measuring 40 mm in diameter and 11.80 mm thick. Silver-toned and made from 316L stainless steel with a polished finish, it exudes a brilliant, eye-catching appeal. A grey crown at 3 o'clock lets you adjust the various functions with ease - its knurled texture ensures a confident grip. Weighing 94 g, the case is fitted with a convex sapphire crystal that protects the dial from impact, complete with an anti-reflective coating for clear, glare-free legibility. The case back features a engraved and transparent exhibition back, providing a water resistance of 5 ATM while revealing the movement's oscillations.

The Dial

Clean and refined, this dial brings a captivating elegance to the timepiece. It takes a round shape with a grey sunray-finished base that delivers a stunning luminous effect. A finely drawn minute track runs along the edge, accompanied by applied silver indexes marking the hours - swept by three grey lance-style hands at the center. These include a slender seconds hand, a long minute hand, and a short hour hand, all complemented by a date counter at 6 o'clock. The brand's name is signed just below 12 o'clock.

The Movement

This watch is powered by an in-house automatic movement - specifically the FC-706 caliber - guaranteeing precise performance across the hands and date counter. This Swiss mechanism beats at 28,800 Alt/h (i.e., 4 Hz), is fitted with 26 jewels to reduce friction, and delivers a power reserve of 72 hours.

The Strap

This strap is expertly crafted from Mississippiensis alligator leather, making it exceptionally comfortable to wear. In a rich blue, it's elevated by square-pattern stitching with tone-on-tone topstitching for a refined, captivating finish. It hugs your wrist beautifully and pairs effortlessly with a wide range of outfits. The strap features a 20 mm lug width and strap lengths of 75 x 115 mm. It is secured by an 18 mm 316L stainless steel deployant buckle for smooth, easy handling.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 50 meters - or 5 atmospheres in watchmaking terms - this timepiece can handle a splash, but it's not built for aquatic adventures. Water is the arch-enemy of its delicate movement, and our team strongly recommends keeping it dry. Rain or dishwashing? No problem. But skip the shower, the bath, the pool, and definitely the ocean. No swimming or diving - keep it out of the water.
