Watch Classics Square Heart Beat Automatic FC-311N4C26

The Watch

Founded in 1988, Frédérique Constant is among the Swiss watchmaking houses that design their own calibers for superior performance. Through reliable and elegant creations, the brand showcases advanced technologies and has won the hearts of watch enthusiasts and professionals alike. With its ability to combine durability, design, and technical excellence, it offers stunning models of the highest quality. Discover the Classics Square Heart Beat Automatic - FC-311N4C26 watch, set to elevate your wrist game. It features a rectangular case measuring 30.40 mm in width and 33.30 mm in length, with a thickness of 9.71 mm. Crafted entirely in 316L stainless steel, it is built to last. A polished finish adds a brilliant touch to the case. The case is topped with a sapphire crystal to protect the dial from potential shocks, treated with an anti-reflective coating for clear, comfortable legibility. At 3 o'clock sits a grey, fluted pumpkin-shaped crown for precise adjustment of the central elements. Finally, this timepiece closes with a transparent screw-down case back that lets you admire the movement's oscillations - and ensures a water resistance of 3 ATM.

The Dial

This rectangular dial delivers a captivating look. Perfectly balanced, it features a blue dial that displays the time with elegance and refinement. It is enhanced by a double circle finish that showcases each of its components beautifully. At its guilloché center, two sword-style hands communicate the time with precision. Silver in color, the short hand marks the hours and the long hand marks the minutes, both pointing to the minute track and the silver pointed indices around the perimeter. These indices are neatly arranged on the sunray-finished border of the dial. The design is completed by an open heart aperture offering a charming view of the movement's oscillations, bringing the dial to life. Finally, the brand places the Swiss Made label at 6 o'clock, with its name just above as a signature.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch beats an automatic movement crafted in-house. More precisely, it is the FC-311 caliber - a highly capable mechanism. It operates at an oscillation frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and features 26 jewels to absorb friction. It delivers a 38-hour power reserve and drives the watch's functions with precision.

The Strap

Carefully crafted, this strap makes a striking statement. Made from calfskin leather, it offers exceptional suppleness and comfort. Featuring a navy blue tone with elegant tone-on-tone stitching and a crocodile pattern, it is as refined as it is eye-catching. This two-piece strap consists of a long piece of 120 mm and a short piece of 80 mm, sitting gracefully and elegantly on your wrist. Measuring 22 mm at the lug width, it pairs effortlessly with any outfit and can be adjusted to your preference via its 18 mm pin buckle.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 30 meters - or 3 atmospheres in watchmaking terms - this watch is far from a water lover. Water is the worst enemy of its delicate mechanism, and our team strongly recommends keeping it dry. Rain or doing the dishes? Fine. But skip the shower, the bath, the pool, and definitely the deep end of the ocean - this one prefers to stay dry!
