Watch Classics Vintage Rally Healey Automatic FC-301HGRS5B6

The Watch

Frédérique Constant is a Swiss watch manufacture that develops, produces, and assembles its calibers entirely in-house. Its timepieces stand out for their exceptional quality, distinctive features, and the precision of their design and craftsmanship. The brand has long been committed to supporting vintage car rallies, and in 2004, it partnered with the iconic automotive marque Austin-Healey - a bond built on loyalty and camaraderie that gave birth to the Vintage Rally "Healey". Available as a limited edition of 1,888 pieces and COSC-certified, the Automatic FC-301HGRS5B6 captures the spirit shared between watchmaking and mechanical engineering. This timepiece was conceived for men who appreciate style, speed, and classic European luxury. With a 40 mm diameter and a 10.30 mm thickness, its 316L stainless steel case features a rounded, polished finish that gives it a refined presence on the wrist. A ridged, polished crown sits at 3 o'clock for time adjustment, while the dial is protected by a convex sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, offering outstanding scratch resistance and optimal legibility. The caseback has been adorned by Frédérique Constant with a detailed engraving of the iconic Austin-Healey 100S. Screw-down, it ensures a 5 ATM water resistance.

The Dial

The dial offers a stunning window into time. It features gray-toned hour markers with luminescent treatment for easy reading in low-light conditions. The backdrop showcases Healey's iconic deep green hue. With a matte finish, the flange is encircled by a minute track on a white background marked with black lines and Arabic numerals. It frames applied baton indexes indicating the hours, pointed to by the alpha hour hand. The seconds and minutes are displayed by the red sweep seconds hand and the alpha minute hand, respectively. Finally, the brand signature sits below 12 o'clock, marked by a double index, while the collection name appears above 6 o'clock.

The Movement

This watch is powered by an automatic FC-301 movement based on LJPG100, delivering a 68-hour power reserve. This caliber features 26 jewels, beats at a frequency of 28,800 vph, and ensures precise analog timekeeping.

The Strap

You'll love the perforated strap on this model - a nod to the rally watches of the first half of the 20th century. Crafted in dark brown calfskin leather and finished with off-white stitching, it strikes the perfect balance between comfort and vintage flair. It features a width of 20 mm, tapering to 18 mm at the buckle, and fastens with a classic tang buckle.

The Box

Each piece comes in a collector's box that complements the watch, complete with a miniature replica of the NOJ393 car model.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 5 atmospheres (50 m). Designed to be as beautiful as it is durable, it holds its own in any setting without sacrificing its refined looks. You can wear it in the shower - though the Ocarat team recommends leaving it on the edge of the sink to preserve its brilliance and integrity over time. Swimming and diving are not recommended, as exposure to those conditions may cause damage and result in costly repairs.
