Care Instructions
Daily Care
• Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft microfiber cloth after wear to remove oils, dust, and fingerprints.
Cleaning
• Use a soft cloth lightly dampened with water and mild soap for occasional cleaning.
• Dry the watch thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
What to Avoid
• Avoid bleach, chlorine, harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, and household cleaning products.
• Do not use polishing compounds unless specifically recommended by the watch manufacturer.
Stainless Steel and Titanium
• Light surface marks may develop over time with normal wear.
• Titanium can show cosmetic marks differently than stainless steel because of its lighter weight and surface characteristics.
Water Resistance
• Always follow the water resistance rating listed by the manufacturer for your specific watch.
• Water resistance is not permanent and can decrease over time as seals and gaskets age.
• Make sure the crown is fully pushed in or screwed down before water exposure.
• Do not operate the crown, pushers, or other controls while the watch is underwater unless the manufacturer specifically states that it is safe to do so.
• Avoid hot tubs, saunas, and very hot showers, as heat and rapid temperature changes can affect the watch seals.
• Have the water resistance checked periodically, especially after battery replacement, case opening, or service.
Storage
• Store your watch in a clean, dry place when not in use.
• Keep it separated from other jewelry or watches to help prevent scratches.

Product details
Frederique Constant Manufacture Classic Perpetual Calendar - FC-776S3H6
The Frederique Constant Manufacture Classic Perpetual Calendar (ref. FC-776S3H6) proudly brings a full perpetual calendar to the wrist in a 40mm stainless steel Swiss automatic watch, finished with a silvered sunray dial in a colorway collectors have long favored. Its case is smaller and softer in outline than before, with slender lugs that recall classic dress watches of the past. Wearing it is refreshingly easy, too: the crown is only needed to set the hours and minutes, while the calendar is adjusted through pushers recessed in the case.
The engine is the FC-776, the 34th caliber Frederique Constant has developed in-house. It beats at 4Hz, stores a three-day power reserve of 72 hours and is adjusted and tested in six positions, with perlage and Côtes de Genève finishing on view through the sapphire case back. On the silvered dial, hand-polished Dauphine hands and slender applied markers trace a sector-style minute track; the date sits at 3 o'clock and the day at 9 o'clock, the month and leap year share a counter at 12 o'clock, and the moon phase has its own window at 6 o'clock. A navy blue alligator leather strap with buckle, anti-reflective sapphire crystal and 50 meters of water resistance complete a perpetual calendar that pairs as easily with a suit as with a weekend jacket.
Features
- In-House FC-776 Caliber – Frederique Constant's 34th Manufacture movement, beating at 4Hz with a 72-hour power reserve.
- Full Perpetual Calendar – day, date, month and leap year indications on a clean three-counter layout.
- Moon Phase at 6 o'clock – a dedicated window that balances the dial.
- Silvered Sunray Dial – hand-polished Dauphine hands, applied hour markers and a sector-style minute track.
- Recessed Calendar Pushers – calendar functions set discreetly through the case, with only the hours and minutes needing the crown.

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 Classic Perpetual Calendar Manufacture made its debut in 2016, positioned as the most affordable perpetual calendar on the market. Frederique Constant later redesigned this icon from the case to the caliber, pairing a new, more compact 40mm Classic case with the FC-776, its 34th in-house movement, which brings a three-day power reserve and refinements to component quality, finishing and technical features. All calendar functions are set via pushers recessed in the case, and the leap year indicator shares its hand with the month at 12 o'clock, advancing once a year.
