Frederique Constant Classics Premiere 38.5mm Mens Watch
Ref. FC-301N3B6
Sits in Frederique Constant’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Frederique Constant watches we list, which start at £595.
Price range £595 to £3,995 across 27 Frederique Constant watches in stock.The Classics Premiere sits at the quieter end of Frederique Constant's range — a dress watch that makes no particular claim on your attention, which is precisely its purpose. The G100 is sourced from La Joux-Perret, one of Switzerland's more serious movement suppliers, and its 68-hour power reserve means a watch left on the nightstand Friday evening is still running Monday morning. At 38.5mm the proportions suit a buttoned cuff well, and the domed sapphire crystal — carried over both the dial side and the caseback — gives the movement beneath a subtly magnified, almost jewel-box quality. The blue dial and navy alligator-pattern strap read as a considered pairing rather than an accident of catalogue assembly. Breguet-style hands keep the dial legible without crowding it. The Côtes de Genève finishing on the movement is visible through that open caseback, which rewards a closer look in week two when the novelty of the dial has settled.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Will the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Does it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's, though at 38.5mm 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.
