Classics Index Automatic Watch FC-303NS5B6

The Watch

Renowned worldwide, Frédérique Constant is celebrated for its classic elegance and precision craftsmanship. This Swiss maison invites you to discover the FC-303NS5B6, from the Classics Index Automatic collection. The watch features a round stainless steel case measuring 40 mm in diameter, with a polished finish designed to complement men's wrists. The dial is protected by a convex sapphire crystal, prized for its scratch resistance and exceptional clarity. The time and date can be set via the silver-tone crown at 3 o'clock. A signed caseback ensures water resistance to 50 meters. Effortlessly versatile, this timepiece transitions seamlessly from everyday wear to professional settings and special occasions - adding a touch of sophistication to any style.

The Dial

The round dial features a grey sunray finish with baton hour markers and a black minute track. Two alpha-style hands sweep through the hours and minutes at the center. The silver-tone and white indices and hands are coated with a luminescent treatment, ensuring easy readability in the dark. A vivid electric blue seconds hand adds a striking accent. At 3 o'clock, a date window with a white background displays the date in black Arabic numerals. The movement is indicated at 6 o'clock, and the Frédérique Constant signature appears at 12 o'clock.

The Movement

Powering the watch is a Swiss automatic movement - the Frédérique Constant caliber FC-303, featuring 26 jewels and an oscillation frequency of 28,800 vph. It precisely tracks hours, minutes, and seconds via three hands. It also drives the date window and delivers a power reserve of 38 hours.

The Strap

Crafted from calfskin leather, this elegant brown strap adds a refined touch to your wrist. Its warm tone pairs beautifully with the case and dial. Embossed with an alligator pattern and finished in nubuck, it delivers a sophisticated, textured look. White contrast stitching runs along both edges, and a silver-tone pin buckle makes it easy to put on and take off.

Water Resistance

This watch offers a water resistance of 5 ATM (50 m) - beautiful enough to wear to any occasion, yet tough enough to handle everyday exposure to water. You can keep it on in the shower, though the Ocarat team recommends leaving it on the edge of the sink to preserve its finish and longevity. Swimming and diving, however, are not recommended, as water damage of that kind is not covered under warranty.
