Frederique Constant Classics Moneta Solarmètre FC-120BRG3S6 — Swiss Solar Watch
Once in a generation, a classic Swiss maison does something genuinely new. The Classics Moneta Solarmètre is the first watch in Frederique Constant's history to be powered by light — driven by the solar FC-120 calibre, developed with the celebrated La Joux-Perret manufacture. Its secret hides in plain sight: the "Burgundy" grained dial is in fact a sophisticated translucent surface that lets light pass through to concealed photovoltaic cells beneath. One minute of light exposure powers the watch for a full day; fully charged, it will run for ten months in complete darkness. Worn with any regularity, it simply never stops — no battery changes, no winding, ever.
The engineering is radical, but the design is pure Frederique Constant dress-watch heritage. The 39mm polished stainless steel case — a true unisex size at a slim 8.52mm — frames applied diamond-cut indexes and the "coin-edge" inner ring that gives the Moneta its name, drawn from the milled edges of classic currency. An anti-reflective sapphire crystal, a date at 3 o'clock, and a practical 5 ATM of water resistance make it an effortless daily companion, while the included second strap transforms it in seconds: black crocodile-embossed leather for the boardroom, steel Milanese mesh for everything else. This is Geneva fine watchmaking doing what it does best — advancing quietly, beautifully, and without compromise.
What we love about the Frederique Constant Classics Moneta Solarmètre FC-120BRG3S6: The FC-120LBRG3S6 is a piece of Frederique Constant history — the maison's first-ever solar calibre, in the debut burgundy red reference, with two straps in the box. It answers the question every dress-watch buyer secretly asks ("will I actually maintain it?") with the most elegant answer possible: you'll never need to. First references of new calibres are the ones collectors remember, and this is Swiss solar done with a level of dial artistry the category has never seen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Moneta Solarmètre FC-120BRG3S6 a men's or women's watch?
Both — Frederique Constant designed the Solarmètre as a true unisex piece. At 39mm across and a slim 8.52mm thick, it sits in the sweet spot that wears elegantly on larger wrists and confidently on smaller ones, and the burgundy dial in particular moves effortlessly between masculine and feminine styling. If you're between sizes in your collection, 39mm is the most versatile single case size in modern watchmaking.
Can I wear the FC-120BRG3S6 in water?
The Solarmètre is rated 5 ATM (50m) — comfortably covering rain, hand-washing, and showering, with brief swimming acceptable. It's not built for diving, water sports, or hot tubs, where pressure and heat exceed what a slim dress case is designed for. That's a meaningfully tougher rating than most classic dress watches (typically 3 ATM), so this is one of the few watches this elegant you genuinely don't need to baby.
What does the burgundy dial pair with — and can I change the strap myself?
The burgundy grained dial is the richest of the three Solarmètre colours, and FC pairs it accordingly: a black crocodile-embossed leather strap for formal wear, plus the included steel Milanese mesh bracelet that cools the burgundy down for daywear. Both are 19mm and swap in seconds without tools. Burgundy sits closer to neutral than you'd expect on the wrist — it reads as near-black indoors and comes alive in daylight, which is precisely when the translucent dial is also charging the movement.
