The 40mm stainless steel case is elegantly plated with yellow gold, giving it a luxurious and vintage-inspired appeal. Its slim profile (approximately 10mm thick) allows for a comfortable fit under a dress shirt cuff, making it perfect for formal occasions or business wear. The case is complemented by a convex sapphire crystal, known for its scratch resistance and clarity, protecting the exquisitely designed dial. The silver dial is adorned with a guilloché pattern, a hallmark of fine watchmaking that enhances its sophisticated look. Black Roman numerals and Breguet-style hands further accentuate its classic charm, while the railroad minute track along the outer edge adds a touch of vintage elegance.

At the heart of this timepiece is the Frederique Constant FC-292 quartz movement, ensuring exceptional accuracy and low maintenance. The chronograph complication features:

• A 60-second counter at 3 o’clock
• A 30-minute counter at 9 o’clock
• A small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock

These subdials blend seamlessly with the watch’s traditional aesthetics, offering practical timing functions while maintaining an uncluttered design. The pushers on either side of the gold-plated crown operate the chronograph function smoothly, providing a satisfying tactile experience.

The watch is fitted with a brown leather strap, complementing the gold tones of the case while ensuring a comfortable fit. The pin buckle clasp secures the watch on the wrist, adding to its vintage appeal. With a water resistance rating of 60 meters (6 ATM), the FC-292MC4P5 can withstand minor splashes and brief immersion in water but is not designed for swimming or diving. The solid stainless steel case back ensures durability, protecting the movement inside.
