Product details

Frederique Constant Classics Heart Beat Automatic - FC-310MC5B6

Few designs capture the soul of a mechanical watch as clearly as the Frederique Constant Classics Heart Beat Automatic (ref. FC-310MC5B6), a Swiss automatic watch that lets you see its balance wheel beating right on the dial. That open aperture, the signature of the Heart Beat line, sits within a silver-tone brass dial richly decorated in classic guilloché style and marked with traditional Roman numerals, a pairing that feels both romantic and refined.

The 40mm round stainless steel case keeps a slim 10.5mm profile, and an anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the dial while keeping reflections to a minimum. Inside, the FC-310 automatic caliber drives the hours, minutes and seconds and is wound by the natural motion of your wrist, so it never needs a battery. A black leather strap with a buckle gives the watch a dressy, polished finish, and 50-meter water resistance means a swim in still water won't slow you down. It is a watch for anyone who loves to see, and not just feel, the craftsmanship on their wrist.

Features

  • Heart Beat Aperture – an opening at the balance wheel's position that shows the movement's rhythm.
  • Guilloché Silver-Tone Dial – an elaborately decorated brass dial in classic style.
  • Roman Numeral Hour Markers – traditional numerals for a timeless read.
  • FC-310 Swiss Automatic Movement – self-winding, driving hours, minutes and seconds.
  • Black Leather Strap – a dressy finish with a classic buckle.

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 Heart Beat story began in 1994, when Frederique Constant introduced its first Heart Beat model, and the design quickly became one of its signatures. The idea is as simple as it is striking: by opening the dial at the position of the balance wheel, the watch shows that it is mechanical and lets the wearer follow the rhythm, or heartbeat, of the movement. This reference, driven by the FC-310 automatic caliber, sits within the Classics collection.
