History

Frederique Constant was founded in Geneva in 1988 by Peter Stas and Aletta Stas-Bax, with the stated goal of bringing Swiss mechanical watchmaking to accessible price points without giving up manufacture-grade finishing. The brand launched its first collection in 1992 and has since developed dozens of in-house calibers at its Plan-les-Ouates facility.

The Highlife line dates back to 1999, when Frederique Constant introduced the original Triple-Time and Heart-Beat references under that name. After more than two decades off the catalog, the brand revived Highlife in 2020 with a full redesign: a barrel-shaped case with faceted flanks and an integrated bracelet, positioning the watch as a sport-elegant piece with a metal bracelet.

The FC-303GRS3NH6B sits within that Highlife Automatic range, with a 39mm brushed-and-polished steel case and a green dial with applied indexes. It houses the automatic FC-303 caliber, with 26 jewels and 38 hours of power reserve; this specific reference carries COSC chronometer certification, an additional control Frederique Constant does not apply uniformly to every watch built around the same caliber.

This is the first Frederique Constant reference we're adding to Cazador's catalog, within the accessible Swiss watchmaking segment with partial in-house manufacture.
