Highlife Ladies Automatic Sparkling FC-303LBSD2NHD6B Watch

The Watch

Frédérique Constant is a Swiss manufacture founded in 1988, crafting in-house movements of rare quality and exceptional precision. Every model is built with an unwavering passion for classic, timeless design. In 2020, the Maison revived its iconic Highlife Ladies collection - a line created for modern women who refuse to compromise on elegance. The latest expression, the Highlife Ladies Automatic Sparkling, is right at the forefront of contemporary trends. The watch is housed in an elegant 34 mm diameter, 9.80 mm thick tonneau-shaped case in 316L stainless steel. Its lines speak to its modern identity, with a brushed finish on the surfaces and a polished finish on the edges for a look that's graceful yet bold. Light refracts brilliantly off the bezel set with 60 diamonds totaling 0.45 carats. The watch features a convex sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment, protecting against accidental scratches. At 3 o'clock, the crown - engraved with the brand logo - handles setting the hours, minutes, and date. A signature feature of Frédérique Constant's Highlife watches is the absence of lugs, allowing the watch to hug the wrist naturally. The caseback is secured by 4 screws and features a transparent exhibition window that reveals the beauty of the movement, its gears, and the oscillating weight engraved with the brand name. The screw-down caseback ensures a water resistance of 5 ATM. Note that this model is a limited edition of 888 pieces.

The Dial

The dial is balanced and harmonious, with a minute track that adds a strong identity to the watch. The speckled blue dial captivates day and night, accented by eight diamonds totaling 0.04 carats serving as hour markers. Luminescent hands and a slender silver seconds hand indicate the time. A date window sits at 3 o'clock, while the brand signature is printed just below 12 o'clock.

The Movement

This watch runs on an automatic movement - a Frédérique Constant caliber FC-303 with 26 jewels. It delivers a 38-hour power reserve and beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour. The movement provides an analog display of hours, minutes, and seconds, as well as the date.

The Bracelet

The unique design of this watch is defined by its special bracelet, seamlessly integrated into the case. Crafted in 316L stainless steel, it combines a brushed finish with a polished look across the center links. The first link houses a hidden integrated system that makes the bracelet interchangeable. A signed deployment clasp with double push-buttons ensures a secure fit. The bracelet measures 161 mm in length.

Water Resistance

This watch offers a water resistance of 5 atmospheres, or 50 m. Designed to turn heads, it's built to be as resilient as it is beautiful. You can wear it in the shower - though the Ocarat team recommends setting it aside to preserve its brilliance and longevity. Swimming and scuba diving are not recommended, as exposure to those conditions may cause damage and lead to costly repairs.
