Classics Carree Small Seconds FC-235S2C5 Watch

The Watch

This Frédérique Constant CARREE SMALL SECONDS watch embodies a perfect harmony between classic style and modern functionality. The rectangular case, measuring 25.00 mm wide by 36.00 mm long, has an elegant presence that suits any wrist, whether men's or women's. 316L stainless steel, polished and coated with yellow gold PVD, gives the watch exceptional scratch resistance and a luxurious, brilliant finish. Despite its slim 5.85 mm thickness, this watch never goes unnoticed. The crown, positioned in the traditional location on the right side of the case, allows easy time adjustment - because elegance should never come at the expense of convenience. Finally, the steel screw-down caseback ensures water resistance up to 3 ATM, effectively shielding the precious inner mechanism from splashes.

The Dial

The dial immediately draws the eye with its matte white color and bold black Roman numerals that celebrate the classic watchmaking heritage. A minute track delicately frames the dial, highlighting the hours with timeless elegance. A small seconds sub-dial subtly integrated at 6 o'clock adds a refined technical touch to the overall composition. Protected by a high-quality anti-reflective sapphire crystal, the dial stays well-shielded from the rigors of daily life.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch beats a Swiss Ronda 1064 quartz movement, synonymous with unmatched precision and reliability. This caliber is renowned for its durability and offers an impressive power reserve of 25 months - meaning fewer battery changes and greater confidence in your watch's consistent performance. The Ronda 1064 quartz is also known for its robustness and efficiency, delivering smooth operation that reflects Frédérique Constant's exacting watchmaking standards.

The Bracelet

The strap is crafted from black calfskin leather with a rich crocodile pattern, hugging any wrist comfortably while adding an extra layer of refinement. Visible contrast stitching highlights the artisanal quality of this strap, while the meticulous finish reflects Frédérique Constant's obsessive attention to detail. The gold-tone pin buckle, harmonized with the case, provides a secure and elegant fastening. With an 18.00 mm lug width, this strap is designed to strike the perfect balance between elegance and functionality - ensuring style never compromises comfort.

Water Resistance

This watch is water-resistant up to 3 ATM, making it ideal for everyday wear. You can wear it confidently while washing your hands or walking in a light spring shower. That said, prolonged exposure to larger volumes of water is best avoided to protect the movement. The screw-down caseback adds an extra layer of security, preventing water ingress and ensuring the longevity of the Swiss quartz movement.
