Steering away from his usual polished designs, F.P. Journe's Octa Sport is a stylish contemporary automatic wristwatch with a charcoal grey dial and an aluminium bracelet to match. Notably, rubber inserts are fixed onto the sides of the case, which not only protects the timepiece from shocks and impact but also gives it a distinctive look. A dream to wear on the wrist, this exclusive aluminium watch is feather light.

The matte aluminium dial is highlighted by complementary pops of red and white, from the date numerals within the signature date apertures, the AM/PM indication, the small seconds and the model’s designation under 12 o’clock. These red accents on the dial further enhance the sportiness of this model.

Reserved exclusively for the Linesport series, the aluminium cal. 1300.3 marks the first movement ever to be created from this material, and is an unusual choice for the brand apart from its iconic brass and pink gold movements. Powered by an aluminium alloy and tungsten segmented rotor, the movement provides a five-day power reserve and a variable inertia balance wheel for an optimum yield and stability, allowing optimal winding with even the slightest movement of the wrist.

Offered by the original owner, the present Octa Sport is complete with its guarantee and presentation box. Furthermore, the set is accompanied with a brand new uncut black rubber strap for its new owner. F. P. Journe is a modern master horologist who continues to produce some of the most sought-after models in the market today. Discontinued in 2014, this is a rare opportunity to own a highly versatile aluminium sports watch from this important brand.
