Highlife Ladies Automatic Heart Beat Watch FC-310SD2NH6B

The Watch

A Swiss manufacture founded in 1988, Frédérique Constant is a watchmaking brand offering high-quality, accessible timepieces. Renowned for its iconic "Heart Beat", Frédérique Constant offers a subtle glimpse into the soul of its watches through an open heart aperture. Discover the latest creation from the Swiss manufacture: the Highlife Heart Beat FC-310SD2NH6B. Exceptionally elegant, this timepiece features a round case in brushed silver-toned stainless steel measuring 34 mm in diameter and 9.67 mm thick - dimensions perfectly suited to complement a woman's wrist. It is topped by a fixed bezel in polished silver-toned stainless steel, which frames the dial of the Highlife Heart Beat FC-310SD2NH6B. Round in shape and white in color, the dial features a globe engraving and an open heart aperture below the twelve o'clock position. It also offers all the elements needed for an elegant, quick, and clear time reading. On the right side of the case, a crown - also known as the manual winding button - lets you set the time on the Highlife Heart Beat FC-310SD2NH6B wherever your travels may take you. The dial is shielded from knocks and scratches by a convex sapphire crystal. Finally, the watch offers a water resistance of 5 ATM, or 50 meters, thanks to its screwed and transparent case back.

The Dial

This watch exudes exquisite elegance, in large part thanks to its white barrel-shaped dial. It brings brightness and beauty to the Highlife Heart Beat FC-310SD2NH6B. At its center, a globe is engraved - a subtle reminder that this timepiece will follow you wherever you go. At the top of the dial sits an open heart aperture, a round window that lets you admire the inner workings of this watch - hence the name. The beating heart is, in fact, the signature of Frédérique Constant! Three silver-toned hands indicate the hours, minutes, and seconds respectively. Both main hands feature a luminescent coating, so you can read the time even on the gloomiest of days. Around the dial, bar and diamond hour markers along with a minute track sharpen the analog display. More specifically, the indices are complemented by eight diamonds set between the 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock positions, and are luminescent, just like the hands. In total, the Highlife Heart Beat FC-310SD2NH6B is set with 0.04 carats of diamonds. Should you wish to set the time - even though the watch runs on an automatic movement - a manual winding crown is conveniently positioned on the right side of the case. A convex sapphire crystal sits atop the dial, protecting everything underneath.

The Movement

Beating at the heart of this timepiece is a Swiss automatic movement, also developed in-house by Frédérique Constant. You can admire this mechanical ballet throughout the day through both the open heart aperture on the dial and the screwed, transparent case back of the Highlife Heart Beat FC-310SD2NH6B. More specifically, it houses an FC-310 movement featuring 26 jewels, a power reserve of 38 hours, and an oscillation frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour.

The Bracelet

Perfectly complementing the watch's beauty, the case is flanked on both sides by a bracelet crafted in the same spirit. It is a brushed and polished silver-toned stainless steel bracelet measuring 21.5 mm at the lug width and 14 mm at the deployant clasp, also in silver-toned stainless steel. This watch also comes with a second bracelet in blue rubber, adding a sporty touch that's sure to be appreciated.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 5 atmospheres, equivalent to 50 meters, this watch is your first step into the world of water resistance. While not designed for bathing, competitive swimming, or diving, you can comfortably forget to remove your timepiece before stepping into the shower. That said, our experts recommend keeping this timepiece dry to preserve its movement for years to come.
