For Your Safety: A Message to All Buyers
- New Seller Notice: If a seller is new to the Collectors Market with less than 200 posts. While everyone starts somewhere, we strongly recommend using a secure payment method like PayPal Goods & Services or a credit card for purchases for buyer protection.
- Critical Security Alert: Established accounts can be compromised. Always request a custom timestamp (a photo of the watch with a note of your choosing) from any seller, regardless of their transaction history. For the highest security, a live video call is the best way to confirm the seller physically has the watch.
If a seller refuses these basic checks or you see any red flags, stop the transaction immediately.
Remember: A real seller with a genuine watch has nothing to hide and will understand your need for caution.
F.P. Journe Octa UTC Boutique Only Edition. 40mm, 18k rose gold case, black dial, Universal Time Coordinated Function. Automatic winding movement. The watch was purchased brand new from an AD in 2016 and rarely worn. It's in perfect, mint condition with no scratches and has never been polished. It comes as a complete set with box and papers.
THIS MODEL WAS PRODUCED BETWEEN 2011 AND 2016.
THE BOUTIQUE EDITION WITH BLACK LACQUERED DIAL ON 18K 6N GOLD CASE WAS AVAILABLE ONLY IN THE F.P. JOURNE BOUTIQUES AND ESPACES AND FOR ALL F.P. JOURNE MODELS, EXCEPT THE GRANDE SONNERIE.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
(1) 22K Gold rotor with uni-directional winding
(2) Large capacity mainspring barrel
(3) Precision-adjustment weights
(4) Full-size free-sprung chronometer balance
Mechanical movement with automatic winding, 13 lines x 5.70 mm, 21'600 VP/H, offering an exceptional power reserve of more than 5 days (120h). Baseplate and bridges in 18K rose Gold.
The Octa UTC also features the 22K red Golf exclusive off centre rotor that winds in one direction only, thanks to an exclusive self-boxing ceramic ball bearing system. Every infinitesimal movement is thus maximally exploited for an optimized winding of the watch.
The hour of the home time zone is set by pushing the small secured pusher at 4 o'clock. After having pulled the crown in position 2, the wearer moves the globe so that the home time zone is positioned on 0 for winter hour. Simultaneously, the Gold hand automatically adjusts itself to the corresponding hour of this region. The purpose of the +1 / -1 indicators is to change the specific region for summer hour which is linked to the geographical location of the user depending if it's east or west of the chosen zone.
