Frederique Constant Slimline Moonphase Manufacture FC-705V4S4

The Frederique Constant Slimline Moonphase Manufacture FC-705V4S4 is a 42mm steel dress watch with a silver dial, moonphase display, and alligator leather strap — a sharp contrast to the sportier, integrated-bracelet Highlife Automatic COSC already in the catalog. It runs the in-house FC-705 automatic caliber, with the moonphase complication adjustable via the crown. We have no verified price observations for this reference as of today (n=0).

History

Frederique Constant was founded in Geneva in 1988, with a stated philosophy of bringing Swiss manufacture watchmaking to a broader audience than the historic maisons typically reach.

The Slimline collection is the brand's classic dress line, built around a thin profile and pared-back design, positioned as a counterpoint to sportier lines like Highlife. Within Slimline, the Moonphase family adds a moonphase complication on top of an ultra-flat case.

The FC-705V4S4 runs the in-house FC-705 caliber, developed and assembled entirely by Frederique Constant, with every function — including the moonphase — adjustable from the crown, with no additional pushers on the case. The silver sunray dial keeps a clean read despite the added complication.

This is Frederique Constant's second reference in Cazador's catalog after the Highlife Automatic COSC, a sporty, integrated-bracelet, chronometer-certified watch. The Slimline Moonphase sits at the opposite end of the brand's catalog: dressy, ultra-thin, and built around an astronomical calendar complication rather than precision certification.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Frederique Constant Slimline Moonphase Manufacture FC-705V4S4 cost?

Cazador has no verified price observations for this reference (0 PricePoints recorded as of today). We do not publish estimates without our own sourced market data.

What does it mean for the FC-705 caliber to be 'manufacture'?

It means Frederique Constant designs, builds, and assembles it entirely in-house, rather than basing it on a movement bought from an outside supplier.

How is the moonphase adjusted?

Every function, including the moonphase and date, is set from the crown; the watch has no additional pushers on the case.

How does it differ from the Highlife Automatic COSC, the brand's other reference in Cazador?

The Highlife is a sporty, integrated-bracelet watch with COSC chronometer certification; the Slimline Moonphase is an ultra-thin dress watch with a moonphase complication and no such certification.

Is it suitable for swimming?

Not recommended: its 30-meter water resistance covers splashes and rain, but not immersion or swimming.

Since when has Frederique Constant existed?

Since 1988, founded in Geneva with a stated goal of making Swiss manufacture watchmaking more accessible.
