Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This watch features a quartz movement and comes pre-set. The crown can be pulled out to set the time and date. Ensure the crown is pushed back in fully after setting to maintain water resistance.

Compatibility: As a standalone timepiece, this watch does not have electronic compatibility requirements. The standard lug width accommodates various 20mm leather or metal watch straps, allowing for customization.

Care: To maintain the appearance and function of your Frederique Constant Classics Quartz:

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 harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Leather Strap Maintenance: Condition the leather strap periodically with a leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or direct sunlight.
Water Resistance: While rated for 50 meters, this is primarily for splash and rain resistance. Avoid submerging the watch in water, especially for extended periods. Have the water resistance checked annually by a professional if the watch is frequently exposed to water.
Battery: The quartz movement requires a battery. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watchmaker to avoid damaging the movement or compromising water resistance.
