The Watch

The Frédérique Constant Highlife Automatic Légion Etrangère L.E. is an exceptional timepiece, combining Swiss craftsmanship with distinguished design. Stainless steel with a brushed and polished matte finish forms a barrel-shaped case measuring 39 mm in diameter and 10.35 mm thick. This model exudes an elegant, contemporary style that meets the demands of watch enthusiasts seeking both quality and aesthetics. The caseback is secured with screws, guaranteeing 10 ATM water resistance - a mark of robustness and longevity. Limited to 888 pieces, this watch stands out with its individually engraved number, making it a true collector's item.

The Dial

The dial of this watch makes a bold statement with its beige/grey color and sandblasted finish. The hands are luminescent thanks to Luminova treatment, ensuring optimal visibility even in low-light conditions. Carefully arranged indices add to the refinement of the dial, which also features a minute track for precise timekeeping. A well-proportioned date window is thoughtfully positioned at 3 o'clock, blending practicality with elegance. Everything is protected by a convex sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, enhancing both clarity and durability.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch beats a Swiss automatic movement, caliber FC-303, renowned for its precision and reliability. Running at 28,800 vph (4 Hz), this movement delivers a smooth, thoroughly modern mechanical experience. The power reserve of 68 hours is impressive, keeping this timepiece running uninterrupted for over two days. This high-end movement features a rotor that converts wrist motion into energy - every component optimized for both horological precision and long-term durability.

The Strap

The watch comes with three strap options, each bringing its own distinct character. The brushed steel bracelet delivers a sporty, durable look. The brown leather strap with contrast stitching brings classic, dressed-up elegance - perfect for formal occasions. Finally, the black rubber strap offers a modern, dynamic option ideal for everyday or athletic wear. Clasps vary to match: a pin buckle for the leather and rubber straps, and a deployment clasp for the steel bracelet, reinforcing the versatility and practicality of this limited-edition watch.

Water Resistance

With 10 ATM water resistance, this watch is perfectly suited for everyday wear and water-based activities such as swimming or sailing. Its resilience is backed by a stainless steel case construction and a screw-secured caseback, delivering outstanding pressure resistance.
