Frederique Constant continues to strengthen its reputation for refined yet accessible watchmaking with the introduction of two new additions to the Classics Premiere line. These elegant unisex dress watches bring a fresh touch to the collection, offering versatility through updated dial colors and the option of a stainless steel bracelet.

A Compact and Balanced Case Design

The Classics Premiere models are presented in a 38.50 mm stainless steel case with a height of 10.67 mm, designed to suit a wide range of wrist sizes. The polished finish enhances the refined character of the watch, while the addition of a five-link stainless steel bracelet introduces a more contemporary aesthetic. The bracelet alternates brushed and polished surfaces, secured with a folding clasp equipped with push-buttons for comfort and practicality.

Art Deco-Inspired Dial

Frederique Constant emphasizes traditional design codes with a dial architecture inspired by Art Deco styling. The latest models are offered in blue and salmon. The salmon version is not entirely new, as it was first introduced in October of last year as part of an exclusive edition for Europe, paired with a leather strap. Now, it returns as a regular production model alongside the blue version, this time matched with the stainless steel bracelet.

Both dials showcase a sector-style layout that plays with textures and depth. A wide circular-brushed chapter ring carries applied Breguet-style Arabic numerals, framed by two railroad tracks for precision. Moving inward, the recessed center section features a matte grained texture that creates a striking contrast with the outer ring. The polished open-tipped hands, also inspired by Breguet, complement the applied numerals and ensure legibility while maintaining the watch’s elegant appearance.

Movement and Performance

Through the sapphire caseback, the calibre FC-301 is on display. This automatic movement is based on the La Joux-Perret G100, known for its reliability and solid performance. One of its key advantages is the 68-hour power reserve, a significant improvement compared to the industry standard in this price segment.

Versatility in Style

By combining the classical case design with the new stainless steel bracelet, the Classics Premiere achieves a balance between traditional elegance and modern wearability. The bracelet option makes these models less formal than their leather-strap predecessors, broadening their appeal for everyday use as well as dress occasions.

Availability and Price

Both the blue and salmon dial Classics Premiere models are now part of the permanent Frederique Constant collection. They are priced at € 2,095, continuing the brand’s philosophy of delivering accessible luxury.
