Stepping up in Frederique Constant's range
The Classics Index Business Timer is designed around a specific problem: tracking the business calendar rather than just the time. Alongside day and date, the dial carries a moonphase and a pointer hand that traces the week number around the outer flange — a combination that makes sense on the wrist of someone who navigates the working year by week as much as by date. At 9.94mm thick, it sits flat enough to clear a cuff without fuss, while the 22mm lug width and 45mm lug-to-lug keep it planted on most wrists rather than bridging across them. The blue dial gives the sub-dials room to read clearly without the layout becoming busy. Underneath, the FC-270 is built on a Ronda 706.B base with a battery rated to around five years — not a mechanical movement, but a dependable one that asks very little of its owner. The butterfly clasp fastens with a clean snap and resizes with standard push pins, so getting the fit right does not require a watchmaker.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 60m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
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?
22mm. 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.
Will it fit my wrist?
Lug-to-lug is 45mm, which suits wrists from roughly 16cm (6¼ inches) upward.
Lug-to-lug decides fit more than case diameter does.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's, though at 40mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
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.
