Classics FC-296SW5B6 Watch

The Watch

The Geneva-based house makes its mark on your wardrobe with its latest timepiece - the Classics. Frédérique Constant presents the FC-296SW5B6, a watch that's equally at home at a business meeting or a night out, thanks to its clean, understated style. Its round stainless steel case, 40 mm in diameter, is built to sit perfectly on men's wrists. The chronograph function means time measurement is always at your fingertips. At 3 o'clock, a winding crown handles time and date adjustments, flanked by two push-buttons to start and reset your chronograph. A sapphire crystal protects the dial from everyday shocks and scratches - virtually scratchproof, short of a diamond. The movement is shielded by a screwed caseback, delivering 5 ATM water resistance to your jewelry.

The Dial

Your dial dazzles in white, offering luminosity and effortless legibility at a glance. At the center, 3 sub-dials are dedicated to the chronograph function - including a 60-minute and a 30-second counter. Time flies when you're wearing this piece! These three round sub-dials are framed with black Arabic numerals for optimal readability. A double date window at 12 o'clock lets you keep track of both the day of the week and the month. The day itself is indicated by a small seconds hand that tracks the outer edge of the dial. A double-circle finish houses a minute railroad track with Arabic numeral markers every 5 minutes, while baton-style hour markers keep you oriented in time. Follow them alongside your 3 gray stainless steel hands for precise timekeeping.

The Movement

Your watch is powered by a Swiss-made quartz movement by Frédérique Constant. The FC-296 caliber delivers unwavering reliability and precision in timekeeping. It runs on a battery - but don't worry! With a battery life of approximately 54 months, you can enjoy your timepiece for years before ever thinking about a replacement.

The Strap

Your Frédérique Constant timepiece is paired with a black calfskin leather strap. Elevated by black stitching along the edges, it exudes refined elegance. The 20 mm lug width ensures a perfect fit with the case, while the stainless steel pin buckle makes fastening quick and secure.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 5 atmospheres, equivalent to 50 m. Designed to shine in any setting, its refined aesthetic doesn't come at the cost of durability. You can wear it in the shower, though the Ocarat team recommends leaving it on the sink edge to preserve its brilliance and integrity over time. As for swimming and diving, we strongly advise against wearing this watch in the water - repairs can be costly.
