Classics Slimline Gents Small Seconds Watch FC-245M5S6

The Watch

Frédérique Constant crafts each of its timepieces with meticulous care, delivering the very best in watchmaking from its own workshops. This Swiss brand has made it its mission to adorn both women's and men's wrists with elegant, sophisticated watches built with the functions you need every day. The Slimline Gents Small Seconds collection makes it easy to find the perfect match. This model features a silver-toned case with a refined polished finish. Its round shape is crafted from stainless steel for lasting durability, with dimensions perfectly suited to female wrists: 39 mm in diameter and 5 mm in thickness. A flat sapphire crystal sits atop the case, protecting the dial from everyday shocks and scratches. At 3 o'clock, a crown lets you adjust all key functions with ease. Water resistance up to 3 ATM is ensured by the watch's snap-on case back.

The Dial

This round dial features a double-circle finish - matte on the outer ring and clous de Paris guilloché on the inner section - in a beautiful silver tone, framed by a minute railroad track surrounding black Roman numeral indexes to display the hours. At the center, two hand-polished Breguet-style hands in black indicate the hours and minutes, while a sub-dial at 6 o'clock displays the small seconds. The brand name appears at 12 o'clock and the place of manufacture between the 5 and 7 o'clock indexes.

The Movement

This timepiece is powered by a Swiss quartz movement - specifically, the FC-245 caliber based on the Ronda 1019 - delivering reliable timekeeping in every situation. It features 10 jewels and offers a battery life of 25 months.

The Strap

To complete this watch, Frédérique Constant has fitted it with a black calfskin leather strap with an elegant crocodile-pattern finish and tone-on-tone stitching. It fastens with a gray pin buckle measuring 18 mm in width and comes in 80 x 120 mm in length. The lug width is 20 mm.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 3 atmospheres, equivalent to 30 meters, this watch is not built for aquatic environments. You can keep it on while washing your hands or doing light household tasks that involve a little water, but experts strongly recommend leaving it on your nightstand before a shower or bath - and locking it in the hotel safe before heading to the pool or the turquoise sea on your next vacation.
