The French Connection Automatic Watch is designed for individuals seeking a bold, contemporary timepiece that blends fashion-forward aesthetics with the traditional appeal of an automatic movement. Its primary benefit is the eye-catching skeleton dial, which offers a sophisticated view into the inner mechanics of the watch, providing a unique visual experience. One notable caveat is that as an automatic timepiece, it requires consistent wrist movement or manual winding to maintain accuracy; it is not a battery-powered device and may stop if left sedentary for extended periods.

No, this is an automatic watch powered entirely by the kinetic movement of your wrist.
With the crown in the closed position, rotate it clockwise approximately 20 to 30 times to tension the mainspring.
While it can withstand incidental contact with water, it is not designed for swimming or diving.
The 45mm measurement refers to the diameter of the watch case, indicating a larger, statement-style timepiece.
Yes, the skeleton dial design is specifically crafted to show the mechanical movement as it functions.
The mainspring has likely run down. Gently wind the crown clockwise for 20-30 rotations or wear the watch for several hours to build kinetic energy.
This often occurs if the watch has not received enough kinetic energy. Ensure it is worn daily or stored on an automatic watch winder.
Ensure you are pulling straight out. If resistance persists, do not force it, as you may risk damaging the stem.
To set the time, pull the crown gently to the furthest position and rotate until the hands indicate the correct time, then push the crown back in completely. For care, keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields, which can interfere with the self-winding mechanism. While the watch is designed for daily wear, it should be wiped down with a soft, lint-free cloth periodically to remove oils and dust from the case and crystal. Ensure the crown is always pushed fully against the case to protect the movement from moisture and debris.
