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

Up for grabs is an F.P. Journe Octa UTC

Reference UTC with 40mm red gold case and salmon dial.

The Octa UTC got its name based on coordinated universal time feature. Unlike a standard GMT complication, it incorporates a useful travel function in a way wholly consistent with the brand’s aesthetic and approach to complications. The UTC display allows the wearer to visually represent the time zone they are tracking, also allowing for variables such as daylight savings and summer time. Powered by the self-winding calibre 1300.3 crafted from solid rose gold, it is a thoroughly modern piece wrapped in the brand’s early case size.

Function aside, the UTC display lends a burst of color to the otherwise restrained dial. It includes a painted polar view of Earth topped by a sapphire disc detailing the time zones. The wearer can use the corrector at 4 o’clock to set this display to the 0 position to correspond with the secondary time zone they are tracking. The +1 and -1 positions on the UTC display also allow the wearer to account for daylight savings and summer time in certain time zones.

Condition wise, this watch remains in an unpolished and excellent condition without dings, dents, or deep scratches.

This watch comes complete with FPJ boxes, the large UTC manual with CD, a polishing cloth, and guarantee card.
