F.P. Journe Octa Universal Time Coordinated ref. UTC “Red Gold/Grey”

Up for grabs is an F.P. Journe Octa UTC Ref. “UTC.”

This example features the 40mm red gold case paired with a white gold (grey) dial.

Sub-100 serial number with warranty card dated in 2013.

The Octa UTC offers a unique interpretation of a second time zone complication. Rather than a traditional GMT, it displays Coordinated Universal Time through a rotating world map, allowing the wearer to visualize and track a chosen time zone, including adjustments for daylight saving time.

The dial remains otherwise restrained, with the UTC display adding a subtle burst of color — a painted polar view of Earth beneath a sapphire disc marked with time zones. The corrector at 4 o’clock allows for precise adjustment, including +1 and -1 positions for seasonal time changes.

Powered by the self-winding Calibre 1300.3 in solid rose gold, it combines technical ingenuity with the brand’s early 40mm proportions.

The watch remains in excellent, unpolished condition with no major dings, dents, or deep scratches.

Offered as a complete set with F.P. Journe boxes, polishing cloth, guarantee card, and corrector tool.
