Stepping up in the same dial colour
The Classics collection is where Frederique Constant makes its position clear: Geneva-style dress design, Swiss assembly, kept accessible without stripping out the details that matter. This chronograph sits squarely in that tradition — guilloché silver dial, Roman numerals, Breguet-style hands — the full vocabulary of the genre, executed in a watch that runs on an FC-292 movement built on a Ronda 5030.D base and rated for 54 months between battery changes. At 40mm with a lug-to-lug of 45mm, it sits proportionally well on most wrists without demanding attention. The 10.19mm case keeps it from reading as thick under a shirt cuff, which matters on a watch this formal in character. On a plain black leather strap with a tang buckle, it wears simply and without complication — there is nothing here that fights the suit.

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.
