The Housing

With diameters from 25 to 40mm the watches have normal dimensions. Only the observation of the height reveals the affiliation to the slimline. With a height of a few millimetres, the case fits almost imperceptibly against the wrist and is therefore comfortable to wear. Like all Frederique Constant watches, different versions are available. Classic stainless steel, yellow gold plated (e.g. reference FC-245M4S5), rose gold plated or even set with diamonds are no limits to your wishes. In addition to the regular view from above, the automatic watches also offer a view of the movement - through an open case back.

The Clockwork

The Slimline collection offers a choice of models with quartz or automatic movements. With 25 jewels and 42 hours power reserve, the automatic movement is a long-lasting variant in which a simple movement is all it takes to keep it running (e.g. reference FC-306S4S6). The precision quartz movements have batteries that last 25 months and constantly display the correct time (e.g. reference FC-220S5S6). In terms of quality, the works are in no way inferior and offer various advantages. While the automatic movements have a long service life with little maintenance, they must always be in motion or wound. Quartz movements, on the other hand, always offer the right time due to their battery, but have to be replaced after a time.

The Dial

From simple and sterile to elaborate and elegant, a wide variety of dials are available. While Roman numerals underline a rather classic appearance, the models with their simple dial are rather simple and unobtrusive (e.g. reference FC-306G4S6B3). This makes the models ideal for wearing in the office or at an evening event. Even the hands underline this appearance with a playful or simple form. The dial is always easy to read thanks to the use of scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Besides the classic white dial, it is also available in black.

The Strap

With black and brown leather straps, both with embossing, the watches have an elegant effect and go well with gold-plated as well as silver-coloured cases. The stainless steel bracelets are available in different versions, as well as in yellow-golden and silver-coloured style. This means that the bands fit the different housings perfectly and underline their message.

The Brand

Founded in 1988, the young brand Frederique Constant offers high-quality men's and women's watches of the highest quality. The watches are manufactured with predominantly classic design and attention to detail. Precision and perfection can be achieved by hand through large parts. Nevertheless, the brand remains in an affordable price category. At the same time, however, the brand is moving with the times and trying to advance the entire watch industry in Geneva with technical innovations. Classic designs are combined with the latest technology.
