Frederique Constant Classics Premiere Automatic blue dial steel bracelet 38,5 mm

Reinvented Retro Charm

Attention, watch enthusiasts! Frédérique Constant unveils a new variation of its Classics Première, this time featuring a deep blue dial paired with a stainless steel bracelet. Combining refined aesthetics with modernity, this version is sure to appeal to lovers of contemporary vintage style in search of an elegant and timeless piece.

A design inspired by the 1950s

Since 1988, the Geneva-based maison has made it its mission to democratize Swiss Made watchmaking by offering timepieces that are reliable, refined, and accessible. The Classics Première perfectly illustrates this philosophy, drawing on the timeless design codes of the 1950s and 1960s.
The polished stainless steel case, 38.5 mm in diameter and only 10 mm thick, displays ideal proportions: compact enough to preserve dress watch elegance, yet designed to fit modern wrists. Its fluid lines, slightly domed sapphire crystal, and balanced silhouette make it a resolutely classic watch with a contemporary appeal.

The blue dial stands out with a two-level construction: a delicately grained center and a circular satin-brushed ring, offering a subtle play of textures and reflections. The applied Breguet-style Arabic numerals and hollow “poire” hands recall traditional watchmaking codes, while the railway minute track and sectorized layout add timeless Art Deco elegance.

A contemporary steel version

While some versions of the collection are offered on leather, this reference FC-301BL3B6B stands out with its five-link stainless steel bracelet, which enhances its modernity and comfort. More versatile than ever, it is perfectly suited for daily wear as well as special occasions, always with discreet elegance.

The G100 La Joux-Perret calibre

The beauty of this watch is not only skin-deep: it also relies on a robust and modern movement. Powered by the automatic G100 calibre from La Joux-Perret, identified under the maison’s reference FC-301, it beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a 68-hour power reserve—an impressive feature in this price category.
Through its transparent caseback, the movement reveals traditional watchmaking decorations: Côtes de Genève, perlage, and blued screws—evidence of the attention Frédérique Constant pays to detail, even in its most accessible timepieces.

A timepiece both classic and modern

With its textured blue dial, vintage spirit, and contemporary steel bracelet, the Classics Première FC-301BL3B6B strikes the perfect balance between authenticity and versatility. Intended both for enthusiasts of retro-inspired watches and for those seeking an elegant everyday companion, it perfectly embodies the brand’s philosophy: making fine Swiss Made watchmaking accessible to a wider audience.
