Frederique Constant Classics Premiere - FC-301S3B6

Timeless in spirit and lively in its details, the Frederique Constant Classics Premiere (ref. FC-301S3B6) is a Swiss automatic watch that shows just how much character a silver dial can carry. Gold-tone and red accents bring warmth to the silver-tone brass surface, luminous hands keep the time legible after dark, and the 38.5mm stainless steel case, 10.67mm thick, wears with the ease of a true everyday classic.

The self-winding FC-301 movement includes a hack feature that stops the seconds hand while you set the time, so you can match it to the second, and it keeps 68 hours of power in reserve. Its three central hands sweep over a dial built in two tiers, where a Roman-numeral hour ring and a finely guilloché centre sit inside a sunburst minute ring marked with Arabic numerals. Around the back, a transparent glass-box caseback with a gentle magnifying effect frames the movement, and a black calfskin strap with a discreet pin buckle and 50-meter water resistance for still-water swimming make this a watch you will happily reach for every day of the week.

Timepiece History

Frederique Constant was founded in 1988 by Aletta and Peter Stas, an entrepreneurial couple who shared a passion for watchmaking. Headquartered in Geneva, Frederique Constant has long aimed to make high-end Swiss-made watches available at more accessible prices. In 2004, it joined the ranks of Swiss watchmakers that develop and produce their own in-house calibers, and today its Manufacture in Plan-les-Ouates, Geneva, designs, develops and assembles more than 30 in-house calibers, including tourbillon, perpetual calendar and flyback chronograph complications. Frederique Constant celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2023.

The Classics Premiere looks back to the 1950s and '60s while following a style guide that fine Geneva watchmaking wrote more than two centuries ago. Inside, the Swiss Made FC-301 automatic caliber, built on a La Joux-Perret base movement, offers 68 hours of power reserve, the best part of three days, on view through the glass-box caseback. Leather-strap models like the FC-301S3B6 form the original Premiere line-up.
