The Frédérique Constant Classics Runabout Automatic, ref. FC-303RMB5B6, is a nautically inspired watch designed as a tribute to the elegant Runabout sports boats of the 1920s. Since 2013, the collection has been linked to the Riva Historical Society, an association dedicated to preserving the historic boats designed by Carlo Riva, which gives the model a strong connection to the tradition of classic sailing. Inside, it houses the FC-303 automatic caliber, featuring 26 jewels, a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, and approximately 38 hours of power reserve. The transparent case back allows a view of the movement and also features the Riva Historical Society logo. In the watch descriptions, the phrase “it works” means that the watch is functioning at the time of listing. Since collector’s watches typically have delicate and complex mechanisms, the buyer is responsible for any general servicing, inspection, battery replacement, adjustment, or repair that may be necessary. We do not guarantee the perfect functioning of any watch. Nor do we guarantee their water resistance, regardless of what is indicated by the manufacturer or the model. All photographs of our watches are original and were taken by our photographers; that is, we do not use stock photography, and therefore the photographs are considered part of the listing.
