Index Small Seconds Automatic Watch FC-530GR3B6B

The Watch

Frédérique Constant impresses with this subtle and refined creation. The case, crafted in 316L stainless steel, features a classic round silhouette elevated by a polished steel finish that adds understated brilliance and a distinctly modern edge. With a diameter of 39.00 mm and a thickness of 11.65 mm, the watch sits harmoniously on the wrist, offering both comfort and elegance. The caseback is carefully screwed, a detail that ensures water resistance to five atmospheres, equivalent to 50 meters underwater. Protected by a convex sapphire crystal treated against scratches, this watch promises enhanced durability and protection for everyday life. A discreet lateral crown allows for easy and precise time adjustment.

The Dial

Central to this watch's identity, the green dial showcases a superb sandblasted finish that, under varying light, reveals a subtle, sophisticated interplay reminiscent of natural textures. The luminescent indices, elegantly aligned, ensure effortless timekeeping - a nod to Frédérique Constant's commitment to legibility. A small seconds counter adds graceful symmetry to the dial, while the precisely crafted hands rest above a crisp minute track. Every detail, from the placement of each element to its design, creates a visual experience where harmony and technical beauty converge.

The Movement

Powering this timepiece is a superb automatic movement developed by Frédérique Constant and based on the robust Sellita SW260-1 caliber. This Swiss movement, exemplary in its precision, achieves an oscillation frequency of 28,800 A/h, ensuring stability and fluidity in timekeeping. With a power reserve of 38 hours, it delivers consistent reliability, self-winding effortlessly through the natural motion of the wrist. Featuring a small seconds complication, this caliber seamlessly bridges tradition and innovation.

The Strap

The bracelet perfectly completes this horological creation. Crafted in 316L stainless steel, it combines a brushed and polished finish for a subtle contrast and distinguished look. Its gray tone harmonizes beautifully with the rest of the watch while offering exceptional durability. Designed for comfort, it fastens securely with a deployant clasp for a practical, reliable fit that enhances both the functional and aesthetic appeal of this refined model. The 20.00 mm lug width is calibrated to strike a perfect balance between strength and elegance.

Water Resistance

The sophistication of this model is matched by reliable protection against the elements, with water resistance to 5 atmospheres. That means this watch is built to withstand immersion to 50 meters, making it ideal for everyday activities and light water sports - though extended deep-water submersion should be avoided. This level of resistance is the result of precision engineering, where every seal and component has been designed to deliver long-lasting security without compromising the watch's aesthetic.
