Discover the Ladies Quartz FC-240MPWD2NH22B Watch from the Highlife Collection, designed for the discerning woman. This model features a round case crafted from brushed and polished 316L stainless steel with rose ionic plating (1 micron), giving it a sophisticated two-tone finish. Sturdy and refined, it boasts a diameter of 31 mm and a thickness of 7.30 mm. It is fitted with a convex sapphire crystal that shields the dial from impacts, enhanced with an anti-reflective treatment for improved legibility and a scratch-resistant coating to preserve its pristine appearance. At 3 o'clock, a 2-0 rings crown enables easy adjustment of the watch's functions. It is silver-toned with a grooved design for effortless handling. This timepiece offers a water resistance of 5 ATM, secured by an engraved case back held in place by screws, and weighs 96.40 g.

The Dial

The dial exudes timeless charm, lending an elegant touch to this timepiece. It showcases a mother-of-pearl background on which hour markers are precisely arranged for easy reading. At its center, three 5N rose gold-plated hands deliver that unmistakable rose-toned finish. The slender seconds hand tracks the seconds, the long hand marks the minutes, and the short hand indicates the hours. Together, they sweep over a minute track running along the edge, with baton-style indices alternating with 8 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 0.04 ct, adding a glamorous touch while clearly marking the hours. For added functionality, a date window is positioned at 3 o'clock, and the Swiss Made label appears near 6 o'clock - a hallmark of this model's reliability. Finally, the brand name is signed beneath the double index at 12 o'clock.

The Movement

This watch is powered by a Swiss quartz movement. Produced in-house, it is the FC-240 caliber, based on the Ronda 705. This mechanism ensures precise operation of the hands as well as the date function. It is also vibration-resistant and runs on a battery with an approximate life of 5 years.

The Bracelet

This bracelet adds a touch of sophistication to your watch. Crafted from 316L stainless steel with 5N rose gold plating, it delivers a striking two-tone look. Built for durability, it features links with alternating brushed and polished finishes that create a captivating interplay of reflections. It has a lug width of 19.50 mm, a length of 158 mm, and offers comfortable wear for any occasion. It completes any look with elegance and pairs beautifully with every style. It is secured by a deployant clasp with push-button release, 15 mm wide, for effortless operation. Thanks to its quick-release system, you can easily swap in the white rubber strap also included with the watch.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 50 meters - or 5 ATM in watchmaking terms - this timepiece can handle everyday splashes, but it isn't built for prolonged water exposure. A quick shower now and then is fine, but to preserve the precision and longevity of the movement, our watch specialists strongly advise keeping it away from baths, pools, and the sea. In short: no swimming, no diving, and no extended contact with water.
