Frédérique Constant FC-253

The FC-253 is an automatic movement manufactured by Frederique Constant, introduced in 2002 and now discontinued. It is based on the widely used ETA 2824-2, with Frederique Constant fitting a custom rotor. As an early automatic offering from the brand, it belongs to the FC-250 caliber family and is not considered in-house, relying on the proven Swiss ETA base. The movement was used in various Classic collection watches during its production period.
