Classics Heart Beat Moonphase Date FC-335MCSALB4P26 Watch

The Watch

Frédérique Constant is far more than a watch brand - it is a true institution that masterfully unites the legacy of Swiss watchmaking with cutting-edge innovation. Founded in Geneva, this prestigious maison was a pioneer in integrating modern complications, most notably through the development of its own in-house movement. Combining refined design, noble materials, and state-of-the-art mechanics, the Swiss brand offers watch enthusiasts a deeply rewarding experience where technological progress meets meticulous craftsmanship. From classic to sporty models, it continually pushes the boundaries of what's possible while honoring the heritage of traditional watchmaking. Discover the Classics FC-335MCSALB4P26 watch, a timepiece that will adorn men with splendor. Its round case measures 40 mm in diameter and 10 mm in thickness. It is crafted in 316L stainless steel with a polished finish for a brilliant touch. A convex sapphire crystal tops the dial, protecting it from impacts, with an anti-reflective coating ensuring clear legibility. To operate the central functions, a grey crown is set at 3 o'clock and features a double O-ring. It has a slightly ridged finish for easy grip. This 63.70 g watch features a transparent case back offering a view of the movement's oscillations. It is engraved, screwed down, and ensures a water resistance of 6 ATM.

The Dial

This charming dial gives the model a lively character. It features a double-circle finish and a salmon-colored background that is sure to turn heads. Around the edge, guilloché patterns surround Arabic numerals alternating with dots, with the current date indicated by an arrow-tipped hand. These are complemented by Roman numerals for reading the hours, set against a sunray base. At the center, three hands sit over a Clous de Paris patterned background for precise time reading. The long Breguet hand and short Breguet hand indicate the minutes and hours respectively. The slender seconds hand counts the elapsed seconds. All four are crafted in brass with an oxidized black finish, matching the markers. For added functionality, a moonphase counter is placed toward the bottom alongside the Swiss Made mention, featuring a blue background with a full moon and two white stars. On the opposite side, an open-heart finish offers a partial view of the movement's oscillating weight. Finally, the brand name sits between these two elements as the dial's signature.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch beats an automatic movement of Swiss origin - specifically the in-house FC-335 caliber, based on the SW200. It features 26 jewels to reduce friction, and its oscillation frequency is 28,800 vibrations per hour. This mechanism delivers reliable performance across all functions and excellent resistance to vibrations. It provides a power reserve of approximately 38 hours.

The Strap

Day or night, this strap will keep you looking your best. It is crafted in calfskin leather, a sturdy yet supple material ensuring a comfortable fit. It features a lovely brown tone with a crocodile-embossed pattern and tone-on-tone stitching that perfectly completes your style. It will elegantly hug your wrist while remaining lightweight to wear. This strap has a 22 mm lug width and is easy to fasten thanks to its 18 mm pin buckle. The adjustable total length of 200 mm - 80 mm for the short end and 120 mm for the long - ensures a personalized fit.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 60 meters - or 6 ATM in watchmaking terms - this timepiece can handle the occasional splash but isn't built for prolonged water exposure. You can wear it in the shower now and then, but to preserve the quality and precision of its movement, our watch specialists strongly advise keeping it away from baths, pools, and the sea. In short: no swimming, no diving, no extended contact with water.
