Stepping up in Frederique Constant's range
The Classics Slimline is Frederique Constant's answer to a specific brief: a Swiss-made dress watch for smaller wrists that does not try to do too much. At 30mm and 7.65mm thick, it sits almost flush against the wrist, the gold-tone bracelet running in an unbroken line to the butterfly clasp — which tucks neatly underneath and disappears. The white mother-of-pearl dial shifts with the light in the way only the material itself can, and against it the ten VS-clarity diamonds are hand-applied rather than printed or stamped — a distinction that becomes clear at close range. The single Roman numeral at twelve and the cabochon crown are small choices that keep the whole thing coherent rather than busy. At 71.9 grams on a polished multi-link bracelet, it has enough presence to feel considered on the wrist without pulling. The pinned links allow the fit to be adjusted properly, which matters on a watch this compact.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
Will the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Does it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
What size strap does it take?
15mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
Cheapest place to buy
Goldsmiths is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
Who are Goldsmiths?
Goldsmiths has been selling watches in Britain since 1778 and is part of the Watches of Switzerland Group, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange. They are an authorised dealer, so a watch comes with the manufacturer’s own warranty.
