Frederique Constant Highlife Heart Beat 41mm Mens Watch
Ref. FC-310B4NH6B
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 is more than twenty years old, and the integrated-lug sports case it pioneered has since become one of the defining shapes in the category. The Heart Beat variant adds a further reason to look at the dial: an aperture at twelve o'clock that puts the oscillating balance wheel in plain sight, framed against an engraved globe motif that sits quietly behind the indices without competing with them. At 41mm and just under 11mm thick, this wears flatter than the integrated-bracelet format typically allows, and it slips beneath a shirt cuff without the bulk that usually forces a choice between sport and formal. The bracelet itself uses twin push-button release and pairs brushed and polished links in the way the case does, so the transition from case to wrist reads as a single piece rather than two components meeting. The quick-change system underneath means an alternative strap drops in without tools — a small thing that makes the watch considerably more adaptable in practice. The FC-310 movement underneath is built on the Sellita SW200-1, a calibre that watchmakers know well and can service almost anywhere. The 38-hour reserve is honest rather than generous, but the movement's reputation is for consistency, and that matters more across years of daily wear.

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?
25.5mm. 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?
