A lighter blue than the standard and with a tanning with contrast. Otherwise made to the exact F.P. Journe specifications. Jean Rousseau, Paris. The issue I have had with the standard strap is that as it gets older and sweaty, it will look almost black. I will see how this works out in the long run.
The F.P. Journe Chronomètre Souverain represents the foundational timepiece within the brand's Souveraine collection. This reference demonstrates the manufacture's approach to precision timekeeping through manual winding mechanics, positioned as a core offering in F.P. Journe's lineup.
The 40mm case is executed in 18k rose gold with a fixed bezel configuration. A sapphire crystal protects the silver dial, while the manual-winding caliber 1304 movement provides an 80-hour power reserve. The timepiece features 30-meter water resistance and is paired with a leather strap. Production commenced in 2000.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking F.P. Journe's mechanical execution in a fundamental three-hand configuration. The substantial power reserve and manual winding caliber position this model for enthusiasts who appreciate traditional watchmaking approaches within the Souveraine series framework.
Always nice to play with different straps. Feels like a new watch than! Enjoy! Best Tempus
Yes, getting a new strap is the next best remedy when we have a craving for more watches. The. CB is difficult to pair, since the blue is so distinct. I feel this turned out ok and is still something different than the original blue.
Strap looks good, pretty close to the standard.
Jean Rousseau Paris has the specific drawings for the standard strap so they can do it exactly or with variation to the standard.
The strap looks perfect and mirrors the subtle shade difference in the sub dial. Enjoy 🥂
Hadn’t thought about this detail. Thank you so much, Cpt.
