Description from the seller

Frederique Constant – Classics Index Automatic – Ref. FC-303X5B2.
The Essence of Discreet Luxury and Swiss Excellence.
In the landscape of high Swiss watchmaking, few names embody the concept of "accessible luxury" with the mastery of Frederique Constant.

This specimen elevates the dress watch to a work of art—timeless elegance, a piece that does not need to shout to be noticed, but stands out for its cleanliness and the harmony of its shapes.

The stainless steel case is about 40mm (excluding the crown).
Ultra-slim profile, a thickness of only 10mm is a crucial detail, ensuring the watch slips perfectly under a shirt cuff without any hindrance, defining the true concept of a dress watch.
With a lug-to-lug measurement of 46mm, the lugs curve gently downward, embracing the wrist for impeccable comfort throughout the day. The crown with knurled logo offers excellent tactile grip for setting the time.

Dial: Antracite gray / smoke gray with sunburst finish.
Applied baton indices in rose gold tone, faceted to reflect light best; double index applied at 12 o'clock. Luminous dots (or minute markers) overlying the main indices.

Hands (Dauphine style) faceted in rose gold finish with central luminous inserts.

Date window at 3 o'clock with a finely rose-gold-toned surround and white-matte date disc with black numerals.

Sapphire crystal.

Automatic movement calibre FC-303 is based on the ultra-tested and reliable architecture of ETA 2824-2 (or Sellita SW200-1, its high-quality equivalent), customized and finished by Frederique Constant.
The seconds hand moves with enchanting fluidity thanks to its 28,800 alt/hour (4 Hz). This high-frequency beat is the hallmark of a precision mechanical movement and provides constant visual pleasure.

The piece is present in excellent condition, considered almost like new (as visible in the photos).
It is offered with its original Frederique Constant box and outer box, an essential element for collectible value.
Note: the set does not include original papers or the warranty card.

The strap currently mounted is a refined black leather strap with a crocodile pattern from Morellato, which pairs perfectly with the black dial. The pin buckle is in stainless steel.

The attached photos were taken in high resolution and form an integral part of the description.
