Classics Index Automatic FC-303MC5B4 Watch

The Watch

Frédérique Constant, a prestigious Swiss watchmaking house, crafts timepieces that blend elegance with unrivaled expertise - delivering the highest quality at every level. Today, the brand presents its FC-303MC5B4 from the Classics Index Automatic collection. Featuring a stainless steel case with a gold PVD coating, 40 mm in diameter and 10.3 mm in height, this watch is perfectly proportioned for a men's wrist. At 3 o'clock, a grooved crown allows for easy time setting. Above the dial sits a sapphire crystal - nearly as hard as diamond - keeping the dial pristinely protected. Finally, the screwed caseback ensures water resistance up to 50 meters, or 5 atmospheres.

The Dial

You'll be captivated by the beauty and simplicity of this dial. Round in shape, it features a white background that can be divided into two distinct circles. The outer circle displays a graduated minute railroad track, while 12 hour markers rendered in black Roman numerals mark the hours. The inner circle is characterized by its guilloché clous de Paris finish, upon which the brand has applied its signature and movement type. At the center, 3 hands sweep across the dial to tell the time. The two Breguet-style hour and minute hands are black, while the seconds are marked by a thin black seconds hand. At 3 o'clock, a small date window completes the dial.

The Movement

Powering this dial is a Swiss automatic movement, caliber FC-303, composed of 26 jewels. It offers a power reserve of 38 hours.

The Strap

This stunning Swiss watch comes paired with a brown calfskin leather strap featuring an embossed crocodile pattern. Subtle tone-on-tone stitching adds a refined, sophisticated touch to the design. The strap fastens with a stainless steel pin buckle and features a 20 mm lug width.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 50 meters - or 5 ATM in watchmaking terms - this timepiece handles everyday splashes but isn't built for prolonged water exposure. Feel free to wear it in the shower on occasion, but our watch specialists strongly advise keeping it away from baths, pools, and the sea to preserve the precision and longevity of the movement. In short: no swimming, no diving, no extended contact with water.
