Frederique Constant Pro Padel League Series: Specs, Prices, And Our Take

Swiss watchmaking manufacture Frederique Constant is stepping onto the court in style by launching its first-ever partnership with a professional sports league. The Geneva-based brand has teamed up with the Pro Padel League (PPL), the world's leading professional padel league, to debut an exciting duo of official timepieces. As the official timekeeper and official watch of the PPL, Frederique Constant has successfully channeled the high-energy, fast-paced spirit of one of the world's fastest-growing sports into its contemporary signature sport watch line, the Highlife collection.

Bridging Swiss Precision and Padel Energy

The collaboration brings together elite watchmaking craftsmanship and athletic dynamism. According to Jeffrey Cohen, President of Citizen Watch America, the Highlife collection serves as the right platform to translate the precision and energy of padel into a versatile and compelling timepiece that remains distinctly Frederique Constant. Mike Dorfman, CEO of the Pro Padel League and an avid watch collector, echoed this enthusiasm, noting how rewarding it has been to help shape a padel-inspired series from the very beginning and expressing excitement to introduce the collection to fans and fellow collectors alike.

The Lineup: Automatic and Quartz Editions

The collection features two distinct, co-designed models tailored for both men and women, marrying rugged sport readiness with urban sophistication. The Highlife x PPL Automatic Limited Edition (Ref. FC-303PPL3NH26) is housed in a 39mm stainless steel 316L case featuring a combination of brushed and polished surfaces, along with an engraved screw-down case back with PPL branding. Its matte-grained blue dial features applied indexes, a date display at the 3 o'clock position, and luminous detailing for day-and-night legibility beneath an anti-reflective, convex sapphire crystal. Powered by the automatic FC-303 caliber, it offers a robust 68-hour power reserve and water resistance up to 10 ATM. It comes on a PPL Cancha Blue and Copa Gold rubber strap with perforated contrast detail that alludes to the sport's distinctive racket design, plus an interchangeable stainless steel bracelet equipped with a quick-release system. This automatic model is limited to 500 pieces and priced at $2,850. 

The companion Highlife x PPL Ladies Quartz Limited Edition (Ref. FC-240PPL2NH6) carries many signature design features through to a more compact 31mm stainless steel proportion. It retains the striking matte-grained blue dial, date window, and luminous detailing, while being driven by the FC-240 quartz movement to deliver an impressive 60 months of battery life and up to 5 ATM water resistance. It is paired with a PPL-branded rubber strap in blue and soft white alongside an interchangeable stainless steel bracelet. This ladies quartz edition is limited to 300 pieces and priced at $1,850. 

The collection features two distinct, co-designed models tailored for both men and women
