Frederique Constant – Classics Index Automatic – Ref. FC-303X5B2.
The Essence of Discreet Luxury and Swiss Excellence.
In the panorama of Swiss haute horology, few names embody the concept of "accessible luxury" with the craftsmanship of Frederique Constant.

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

The case in stainless steel, about 40mm (excluding the crown).
Ultra-thin profile, a thickness of only 10mm is a crucial detail, ensuring the watch slides perfectly under a shirt cuff without hindrance, defining the true concept of a dress watch.
With a lug-to-lug measure 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: anthracite gray / smoke gray with sunburst finish.
Applied baton indices in rose gold tones, faceted to reflect light best; double applied index at 12 o’clock. Luminous dots (or minute markers) overlie the main indices.

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

Date window at 3 o’clock with a finely finished rose gold tone frame and a white background date disc with black numerals.

Sapphire crystal.

Automatic movement caliber FC-303 is based on the proven 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 semi‑oscillations per hour (4 Hz). This high-frequency “beat” is the hallmark of a precise mechanical movement and provides a constant visual pleasure.

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

Strap: currently mounted on a refined black leather strap with crocodile print by Morellato, which pairs perfectly with the black dial. The pin buckle is in stainless steel.
