Frederique Constant Highlife Automatic Mens Watch Set
Ref. FC-303V4NH2B
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 Highlife line was built around a single structural idea: an integrated bracelet that flows from the case without a visible join, giving a 41mm watch the contained, close-to-the-wrist presence usually associated with something considerably smaller. The FC-303 movement inside carries COSC chronometer certification, which means it has been independently tested across temperatures and orientations to confirm it keeps within the tolerance the Swiss institute demands — meaningful for a calibre at this tier, where that verification is not simply assumed. The dial carries an embossed globe motif across its centre, which catches light differently depending on the angle and prevents the silver surface from reading as plain. The two-tone treatment runs consistently from the case through to the alternate links of the bracelet, so the rose gold PVD is a structural choice rather than an accent. The quick-change bracelet system is tool-free, which matters in practice: swapping to a leather strap for a different occasion takes seconds rather than a visit to a watchmaker.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m 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?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
How long does it run for when it's not worn?
About 38 hours fully wound — so it will usually stop if you leave it off overnight.
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.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men'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.
