François Paul Journe Octa Univesal Time Coordinated, Platinum.
Two pictures showing this Octa UTC with its two faces. One I like: One which is less my taste, as I would have much preferred a manual winding one. What do you think? Nicolas ...
Both sides are great to my taste.
But IMHO dial could easily do without date window. JK

You’re right. But guilloched finishing on the off centerer rotor...
Makes you forgive it somehow. Pics of the Octa Divine when I was deeply in love. ...
