Elegance Luna FC-331MPWGRD3BD6 Watch

The Watch

Frédérique Constant is a Swiss watch brand founded in 1988 by Aletta Bax and Peter Stas. Its collections span men's and women's timepieces with a distinctive style, ranging from classic and timeless designs to more contemporary models. The Geneva-based manufacture focuses on crafting high-quality timepieces that marry traditional Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. Alongside its straightforward models, it offers a range of complications - moon phase watches, chronographs, GMT watches, and more advanced complications. Today, the brand is proud to introduce the Elegance Luna FC-331MPWGRD3BD6 Watch, created to adorn women's wrists on the grandest of occasions. Its case is crafted from polished 316L stainless steel, lending it an irresistibly captivating appeal. Round in shape, it weighs 55.20 g, measures 36 mm in diameter with a 10.60 mm thickness. A grey bezel set with 40 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 0.47 ct gives the watch an exceptionally distinguished look. At 3 o'clock, a grey 2-O-Ring crown stamped with the brand logo handles all central element adjustments, with a grooved profile for easy grip when needed. The dial is protected by a convex sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating for glare-free legibility. The screw-down engraved caseback features an open-heart exhibition window showcasing the movement's oscillations, while ensuring a water resistance of 5 ATM.

The Dial

This dial is crafted with meticulous care for precise timekeeping. Round in shape, it features a white mother-of-pearl base with delicate cloud motifs that lend a touch of ethereal elegance to this charming timepiece. At its center, two polished silver-toned hands display the time effortlessly - the short hand for the hours and the long hand for the minutes. They sweep across printed Roman numerals in a green tone along the dial's edge in 12-hour format, complemented by 56 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 0.70 ct that elevate the model's refined allure. Near 6 o'clock, a moon phase counter tracks the current lunar position. The brand's signature in black lettering appears below 12 o'clock, with the "Swiss Made" inscription placed opposite.

The Movement

This timepiece is powered by an in-house automatic movement. Reliable and robust, the FC-331 caliber - based on the SW280 - oscillates at 28,800 vph (4 Hz), features 26 jewels, and resists vibrations for exceptional accuracy across all three hands and the complication counter. It delivers a 38-hour power reserve.

The Strap

This beautiful strap makes a bold statement on the wrist. In a rich green tone, it adds a gorgeous accent to any outfit and complements the overall aesthetic of the model perfectly. Crafted from calfskin leather with tone-on-tone stitching and an embossed alligator pattern, it's as supple as it is stylish - conforming to the wrist with grace. A 16 mm pin buckle ensures easy, customizable adjustment. Lug width: 18 mm; total length: 190 mm (115 mm long strap, 75 mm short strap).

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 50 meters - or 5 ATM in watchmaking terms - this timepiece can handle the occasional shower without issue. That said, to keep its movement performing at its best for years to come, our experts strongly advise keeping it away from prolonged water exposure: no swimming, no diving, and no extended immersion in the bath, pool, or sea.
