New Highlife Manufacture Perpetual Calendar Watch FC-775G4NH6B

The Watch

Blending watchmaking passion, ingenious craftsmanship, and Swiss tradition, the iconic brand Frédérique Constant was founded in 1988 by the couple Peter C. Stas and Aletta Bax. Bringing its own signature to the international stage, it presents varied and distinguished collections of highly performing, exceptionally crafted timepieces defined by their timeless elegance, authentic design, and advanced technical mastery. Launched in 1999 and brought back to the forefront in 2020, its Highlife collection features timeless, precise, and durable models designed for today's men and crafted with the utmost care by skilled master watchmakers who pay meticulous attention to every detail. From this iconic line, Ocarat is proud to present the New Highlife Manufacture Perpetual Calendar FC-775G4NH6B watch - a sophisticated timepiece that lets you step out with distinction, showcasing your refined style and personal identity. Offered as a limited edition of 235 numbered pieces, it joins the fabulous creations launched this year by Frédérique Constant to celebrate 35 years of innovation, creativity, and success. Balancing classic design, modern style, and outstanding practicality, it will find its place on your wrist every day, delivering an exceptional timekeeping experience. Its all-grey look makes it effortlessly versatile - from casual to chic. Weighing 145 g, its tonneau case sits gently on your wrist for ultimate all-day comfort. Crafted from 316L stainless steel, it features a brushed surface with polished edges for an added touch of brilliance. Designed for men, it measures 41 mm in diameter and 12.65 mm in thickness - ideal dimensions for all wrist sizes. Framed by a polished bezel, a convex sapphire crystal sits over the dial to protect it from everyday shocks and scratches. An anti-reflective coating ensures easy readability at any angle. A crown at 3 o'clock, fitted with a 2-O-Ring seal, lets you adjust the hands and counters at will, offering a comfortable grip thanks to its knurled design. Finally, this watch is water-resistant to 10 bar thanks to its screwed caseback, which also lets you admire the movement's inner workings through its transparent display.

The Dial

The case houses a stunning round dial bearing the signature globe motif that distinguishes Highlife models. It features a blue-grey background with a matte finish that enhances its charm while enabling clean, fluid timekeeping. At the center, two pointed baton hands sweep across to display hours and minutes. Hand-polished, they ensure perfect legibility even in the dark thanks to their SuperLuminova C1 coating. They point to hand-polished baton indexes featuring the same luminescent treatment for a striking daytime look and enhanced nighttime readability. Marked "Swiss Made", the black outer ring is graduated with a minute track finely divided by white markers and Arabic numerals for quick and clear reading. At the 3, 9, and 12 o'clock positions, you'll notice three sub-dials with black backgrounds, magnified by a guilloché finish for a beautiful effect. These respectively display the date, day, and month, with a leap year complication. A fourth Moon Phase sub-dial joins the ensemble at 6 o'clock, revealing a half-circle with a star-filled background. Just below it, the brand places its name as a signature.

The Movement

This watch is powered by the Manufacture caliber FC-775, renowned for its superior quality, exceptional performance, and unwavering reliability. Built entirely in-house at the Frédérique Constant workshops, this automatic movement drives the hands and counters with fluid precision for accurate, dependable timekeeping in any situation. This Swiss Made mechanism is equipped with 26 jewels and beats at a frequency of 4 Hz - 28,800 vibrations per hour. It provides this timepiece with a power reserve of 38 hours.

The Bracelet

The H-link bracelet on this limited edition is crafted from 316L stainless steel and is seamlessly integrated into the case, creating a fluid, smooth, and modern feel. It features a clean row of H-links with a brushed finish, connected by polished rectangular links. Easy to pair with any outfit, it wraps around your wrist with a delicate touch, offering comfortable, pleasant wear for any occasion. Whether completing a casual look or elevating a formal ensemble, it's the refined, sport-chic addition that enhances your overall style. At 179 mm in length, it comes with a push-button deployment clasp measuring 20 mm in width for easy, secure handling.

A second bracelet will be included with this beautiful watch for even more styling options. Crafted from rubber and finished in a deep black, it pairs effortlessly with any outfit. Perfect for everyday wear and water activities, it follows the gentle curves of your wrist with elegance, delivering all-day comfort. At 18 mm wide, its 316L stainless steel pin buckle ensures easy, secure wear on every occasion.

Please note that these easily interchangeable bracelets feature a lug width of 25.50 mm.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 100 meters - or 10 ATM in watchmaking terms - this proud-looking timepiece holds its own at a gala and in the water alike! You can wear it in the shower, the bath, or while swimming (even during energetic laps). That said, our team of watch experts wants you to know this model is not designed for scuba diving - whether freediving or with tanks - or for use with high-pressure cleaners. Remember: shower, bath, and swimming only, and without operating the pushers or crown!
