The Classics Index collection: a balance between tradition and modernity

The Classics Index collection embodies the very essence of Frédérique Constant: classic watches with understated elegance, designed for everyday wear while showcasing Swiss watchmaking expertise. Available in several sizes, finishes, and dial configurations, this line emphasizes readability, refined simplicity, and mechanical reliability. The name “Index” refers to the collection's iconic applied indexes, which reinforce its understated and timeless identity. By incorporating discreet complications such as the small seconds or date, the collection is versatile, accessible, and faithful to the Maison's mission: to offer luxury watchmaking at a reasonable price.

Index Small Seconds Automatic

Frédérique Constant has created a watch that is both discreet and elegant, ideal for everyday wear as well as more formal occasions. This model features a polished 316L stainless steel case with a modest diameter of 39 mm and a thickness of 11.65 mm, ensuring natural comfort on the wrist. The case back is screwed down, giving the watch a water resistance of 5 ATM (50 meters). The slightly domed sapphire crystal, treated against scratches, ensures both protection and clarity.

A black dial with a refined texture

The dial is distinguished by its deep black hue, sublimated by a sandblasted finish that gives it a contemporary, mineral look. This slightly grainy texture catches the light with subtlety, offering a sober yet sophisticated rendering. The applied indexes and hands are treated with a luminescent material, ensuring perfect legibility in all conditions. Positioned at 6 o'clock, the small seconds counter balances the composition with finesse, while the minute track reinforces the visual rigor of the whole. This dial embodies both the modern sobriety and classical rigor characteristic of Frédérique Constant.

A proven Swiss automatic movement

The watch is powered by an automatic caliber based on the Sellita SW260-1, oscillating at 28,800 vibrations per hour. It offers a power reserve of 38 hours and is naturally recharged by the movement of the wrist. This version includes a small seconds complication at 6 o'clock, adding further mechanical refinement while underlining Frédérique Constant's desire to combine watchmaking tradition with contemporary efficiency.

A steel bracelet with masterful comfort

The watch comes with a 316L stainless steel bracelet, alternating brushed and polished finishes for a subtle and sophisticated look. The ensemble is held in place by a folding clasp, ensuring security and ease of use.
