The Watch

Frédérique Constant has built its reputation on crafting high-quality Swiss watches at a more accessible price point than many other prestigious international Swiss brands. Each piece is made in Switzerland with unmatched traditional craftsmanship and a sharp focus on technical excellence. The brand is recognized for its in-house movements - a testament to its commitment to quality and innovation. Its collections span the full spectrum, from classic dress watches to sporty, contemporary timepieces. The Highlife Automatic COSC line meets COSC standards, with each piece certified by an independent timing institute, attesting to their mechanical excellence. This stunning FC-303GO3NH6B watch is the perfect finishing touch for men who demand elegance. The silver-toned case is crafted entirely in 316L stainless steel with a combination of polished and brushed finishes for a refined, sophisticated look. Its tonneau shape measures 39 mm in diameter and 10.35 mm thick, with a total weight of 157 g. A convex sapphire crystal protects the dial from scratches and everyday impacts, featuring a double anti-reflective coating for enhanced legibility. At 3 o'clock, a crown fitted with a 2-O-Ring gasket provides access to setting the hours, minutes, and date. The model features a screw-down case back offering water resistance of 10 ATM. Through its sapphire crystal exhibition window, you can admire the intricate movement within.

The Dial

This round dial is a true showpiece, instantly drawing the eye with its engraved globe motif in relief. Its grey background features a sunray finish that commands attention. At the center, two brass hands display the hours and minutes, while a seconds hand keeps track of every second. Both hands, along with the applied indices beneath them, are coated with Superluminova C1 treatment for enhanced legibility in the dark. A minute track runs along the perimeter of the dial. Finally, the brand name is printed at 12 o'clock as a signature, and a date window is positioned at 3 o'clock.

The Movement

A Swiss-made automatic movement beats at the heart of this timepiece. Specifically, it is the in-house caliber FC-303, based on the Sellita SW200, which drives the date window and hands for reliable analog display. This Frédérique Constant movement delivers a power reserve of 38 hours and beats at an oscillation frequency of 28,800 vph. It is supported by 26 jewels that minimize friction.

The Strap

This stunning watch comes with two easily interchangeable straps, letting any man switch up his style effortlessly.

The first bracelet features an H-link design crafted in silver-toned 316L stainless steel. It combines brushed links on the sides with polished links at the center for a refined, sophisticated effect. Highly durable, it measures 179 mm in length and fastens easily with a push-button deployment clasp measuring 20 mm wide.

The second strap is made from flexible, comfortable orange rubber. Versatile enough to pair with a wide range of outfits, it fits men's wrists with ease. Its clasp is a silver-toned ardillon buckle measuring 18 mm wide, crafted in 316L stainless steel.

Please note that the lug width of both straps is 24 mm.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance of 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters. Built to handle water with confidence, this watch is ready to dive into everyday aquatic adventures with you - from puddles to the pool, it handles splashes, showers, baths, and recreational swimming without missing a beat. That said, our watchmaking experts advise that this water-resistant model is not suitable for professional or recreational diving and should be kept away from high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend avoiding operating the crown or pushers while submerged.
