Product Information

Full details

This Frederique Constant Slimline watch is designed for the modern man who appreciates classical elegance and refined timepieces. Its key benefit is offering exceptional value with a Swiss-made automatic movement, a sophisticated silver dial, and a comfortable black leather strap, all housed in a versatile 40mm case. A potential caveat is its 3-bar water resistance, meaning it is suitable for everyday wear but not for swimming or diving.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped and is not running.

Manually wind the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times. Ensure the watch is worn regularly to keep the automatic movement charged.

Watch is losing or gaining time significantly.

Automatic watches can have slight variations. If the deviation is more than a few minutes per day, it may require servicing. Ensure the watch has not been exposed to strong magnetic fields.

Leather strap shows signs of wear.

Clean with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or prolonged exposure to moisture. Consider replacing the strap if wear is excessive.

Crystal is fogging up.

This indicates possible water ingress. Remove the crown if possible and take the watch to a professional watchmaker immediately for inspection and drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup & Winding

This watch features an automatic movement, meaning it is powered by the motion of your wrist. If the watch has stopped, you can manually wind it by gently rotating the crown (located on the side of the case) clockwise about 30-40 times until you feel some resistance. Avoid over-winding.

Compatibility

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning: Wipe the case and crystal gently with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, use a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid exposing the leather to excessive moisture or direct sunlight.
  • Water Resistance: The watch has a water resistance rating of 3 bars. This means it can withstand splashes and brief immersion in water (e.g., rain, handwashing). Do not wear the watch while swimming, showering, or diving.
  • Storage: Store the watch in its original box or a soft pouch to prevent scratches when not in use.
  • Servicing: It is recommended to have automatic watches serviced by a qualified watchmaker every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance.
