The FPJ Octa Divine 2023 dial - live pictures

 
 By: ChristianDK : April 2nd, 2023-17:36
The Divine has recieved a make over of the dial design. Just as the Perpetuelle did in 2021. The design is now similar in style and the watch is offered with the option of a white or a blue dial. Both options are available in platinum or rose gold case an...  

Thanks for posting this, Christian. May I ask what the small

Not to my liking...

All those thick borders around the openings make the dial heavily unbalanced. Maybe I'll warm-up to it but for now the old version for me please... ...

The earlier one holds no appeal for me. I just can’t get used to the oval middle. Love the applied numerals on this one also. That’s what great about this . . . to each his own!

To me, a huge improvement on the prior dial.

I’m still unsure if I like it though; there’s a lot going on there. And while I do love the blue and gold combination, I think overall the pt and white dial probably takes my choice between the two. Thanks for sharing.

I like both the older and updated version.

The older version speaks to Journe’s original design language and the practicality of a watchmaker. The updated version is more refined and nuanced while retaining all of the innovation of the original. And as with most Journe pieces, both versions are ma... 

Older version for me

The boarders on the new one are too thick. Especially noticeable on the RG model. I also don't like the rectangular date indenting the circular style element around it. A fine watch but not my favorite.

Loving these Journe posts...

For me? Unless I am seeing like 4 more zeroes at the end of my bank account, I just can't do it!!! I accept donations though!!

Thanks for sharing C!

My vote is for the old version - especially in black label. I’d be into the new design more if it didn’t have the frames around the date, digital seconds and moon phase. ...  

This is one Journe I’m not crazy about.

Neither version. The oval mid-section of the original design was a turn-off, as Ed said; and the window frames on this new design grab too much attention for me. As Alex said. Geez, I wish I could say something original!

Cute? That’s original.

Yes.
