Highlife Ladies Automatic FC-303LP2NH6B Watch

The Watch

The Frédérique Constant manufacture is celebrated for challenging the codes of traditional watchmaking. Since its founding in 1988, its philosophy has always been to make luxury watches accessible to all. Today, staying true to those values, the maison is proud to introduce its brand-new Ladies Automatic FC-303LP2NH6B watch from the Highlife collection. It features an elegant round case in polished and brushed stainless steel - a striking effect that speaks for itself. Notice the meticulous craftsmanship, including the beveled edges that add a refined finishing touch. To protect the watch, a domed sapphire crystal was chosen, blending beauty with technical performance. In terms of dimensions, this model features a 34 mm diameter and a slim 9.80 mm thickness - a design perfectly suited to a feminine wrist. At 3 o'clock sits the crown, engraved with the brand's logo, allowing you to set the time and manually wind the movement. A small but thoughtful detail: it is knurled for a better grip. The case back, secured by 4 screws, is just as impressive. It features a transparent display that lets you admire the beautiful automatic movement inside, and is engraved around its edge with technical information about the watch, including its 5 ATM water resistance.

The Dial

This timepiece showcases a stunning dial in pale pink with a globe decoration. It also features a sunray finish that adds a subtle, refined play of light. Around the edge, a minute railway track graduation ensures precise timekeeping. The baton-shaped indexes feature a white luminous treatment for easy reading even in the dark - and they're crafted in stainless steel, entirely hand-polished. A true feat of craftsmanship. The sword-shaped hour and minute hands have also received the same meticulous manual finishing. The date window, displayed in black on a white background, sits at 3 o'clock within a delicate frame. The brand name is proudly applied at 12 o'clock. The "automatic" inscription indicates the type of movement, while a discreet yet present "Swiss Made" label is a nod to this timepiece's Swiss heritage.

The Movement

Powering this model is the impressive FC-303 caliber, built on the renowned and robust Swiss movement SW200-1 by Sellita. Featuring 26 jewels, it beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour - 8 beats per second - causing the seconds hand to glide across the dial in one fluid motion, a delicate metaphor for the passage of time. It also delivers a comfortable 38-hour power reserve, keeping it running long on your wrist.

The Strap

The 3-link bracelet in polished and brushed stainless steel strikes the perfect balance between elegance and sportiness. Its standout feature is its integrated design - seamlessly built into the watch case for a fluid, cohesive look. A butterfly clasp makes putting on and taking off this model effortless. And as a finishing touch, it's engraved with the maison's coat of arms.

Water Resistance

This watch is water-resistant to 5 ATM, or 50 meters. It can handle very light splashes - like handwashing or light rain - but should be kept away from any other contact with water, including the shower.
