Description

Celebrating the technical and aesthetic expertise of the Maison Frédérique Constant, this 39mm Highlife is COSC-certified and offers a rather dressy look for its sportiest watch!The brand’s iconic collectionLaunched in 1999, the Highlife collection has left its mark on the history of Frederique Constant in Geneva. Since its launch, it has embodied the values that have contributed to the brand’s success: faithful design inspired by fine Swiss watchmaking, a high level of finish and special care to offer the right price for affordable luxury.A very seventies designThe Highlife COSC is part of a long line of sporty chic watches with a very Seventies design, with seductive curved lines! Its 39 mm rose gold PVD steel case is ideal for all wrist sizes. It alternates between polished and satin-finished surfaces, and its hornless design means that the bracelet falls smoothly and naturally on the wrist. A special feature of the Highlife collection, it is interchangeable and can be swapped with other bracelets that you can order and change the bracelet without the need for any tools.The FC- 303N3NH4 features a sublime blue dial with a sunray finish and applied Luminova coated hour markers. Finally, at the center of the dial, we find the signature of the collection, the famous “Globe”. Symbolizing the Earth, harmony and the perfection of the circle, it is also the icon of a new generation that shares the same dream of saving the planet, of a sustainable and rational life. An ethic in perfect harmony with that of Frederique Constant, which has always championed quality, reliable watches that are both transferable and accessible to the greatest number.A COSC-certified caliberThis Highlife is equipped with the automatic FC-303 caliber. Based on the Sellita SW200, it beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a comfortable 38-hour power reserve. Most importantly, this caliber has been certified as a chronometer by the COSC, as evidenced by the “Certified Chronometer Automatic” inscription at 6 o’clock. This watch therefore offers super-precision of -4 to +6 seconds per day.But this caliber is not only powerful. It is also beautifully finished. The transparent case-back reveals its mechanical intimacy and the finishes so dear to the Manufacture de Genève, such as the Côtes de Genève and the circular graining on the plate.COSC certificationVery few watches are certified by the COSC (Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute). This certificate is granted only to timepieces capable of guaranteeing perfect isochronism over time and in fixed positions, i.e. capable of displaying the time correctly, invariably and precisely within the strict limits imposed by an ISO standard. The COSC is an independent Swiss organization that issues chronometer certificates only after watches have undergone extensive testing over several days. COSC-certified timepieces are an elite class, intended for collectors for whom “Swiss precision” is a daily necessity. The Highlife Automatic COSC was developed especially for them.In briefThe iconic Highlife in a sporty-chic dress version/li>A Swiss automatic movement chronometer certified by the COSCAn ideal diameter of 39 mm
