Slimline Gents Small Seconds FC-245M5S5 Watch

The Watch

Designed, assembled, and tested entirely in-house, Frédérique Constant watches are born from a deep passion for horology. Quality and design originality drive every collection from the Maison. Each timepiece is meticulously crafted down to the finest detail, made to accompany you through every beautiful moment in life. This Slimline Gents Small Seconds FC-245M5S5 watch is built in the purest spirit of traditional Swiss watchmaking. It brings refinement and elegance to the wrist, featuring a round case with a diameter of 39 mm and a thickness of 5 mm. These dimensions make it a perfect accessory for male wrists. Crafted entirely in stainless steel, it adds a brilliant touch to your wrist thanks to its beautiful yellow gold coating and polished finish. A convex sapphire crystal shields the dial from daily wear and tear. The crown at 3 o'clock lets you easily adjust the central functions. The snap-on case back ensures water resistance up to 3 ATM.

The Dial

This stunning silver dial with a double-circle finish won't leave you indifferent. Its chic, sophisticated look effortlessly complements the overall aesthetic of the watch. It features delicate guilloché clous de Paris for an even more refined look. Black time markers accentuate the watch's elegant character. Two Breguet-style hands point to Roman numeral indexes marking the hours, while a minute railroad track runs along the circumference for added precision. For extra functionality, a seconds sub-dial sits at 6 o'clock, and a date window is positioned at 3 o'clock. The Maison's name and city of origin appear beneath the 12 o'clock index, with the place of origin displayed opposite.

The Movement

Powering this watch is a quartz movement FC-245 based on the Ronda 1019. With its 10 jewels, it drives the hands and date window with quiet precision, giving you a clear read of hours, minutes, seconds, and date at all times. The movement offers a battery life of approximately 25 months.

The Strap

This watch is paired with a refined calfskin leather strap in a crocodile pattern. Tone-on-tone stitching along the edges adds a perfectly polished finishing touch. The strap is curved between the lugs to sit flush against the case. It fastens securely with a wide pin buckle measuring 18 mm. Sized at 80 × 120 mm, it features a lug width of 20 mm.

Water Resistance

This watch offers water resistance up to 3 atmospheres, or 30m. Designed for style, not for the water - it shines at cocktail parties and formal events, but aquatic environments are not its strong suit. It can handle rain, splashes, or a bit of dishwater without trouble, but that's about it. We strongly advise against wearing it in the shower or bath, and even more so when swimming or diving.
