Technical description
Watches with long power reserves have hitherto been handicapped by small balances which are susceptible to shocks and disturbances. The Octa's compact construction allows a large (10.1 mm) balance to be fitted, giving greater inertia and stability. The free-sprung chronometer balance is adjusted by five turning weights that vibrate at a steady 21'600 times an hour.
Fully wound, the Octa delivers chronometric precision for 120 hours. The meter-long mainspring supplies an average 850gr of torque, limiting the loss in balance amplitude to 25% over the five-day period. Beyond that time, the watch will continue to go for another day or two, but the amplitude-loss no longer guarantees precision timekeeping.

About
The Octa Automatique Réserve Sport Titane model with automatic winding movement in Aluminium is an exclusive watch in Titanium of an astounding lightness.
This collection has been inspired by an important collector, aficionado of F.P. Journe watches, who committed himself in numerous marathon and triathlon competitions and wished to have an ultra light sports watch, coupled with a movement of authentic high horology.
F.P. Journe undertook long researches to find an ultra light and resistant material to receive his exceptional calibres; while maintaining the standards of high horology that inhabit his everyday life. The Automatique Réserve presents the new movement entirely made of Aluminium reserved exclusively for the “lineSport”. With an extreme lightness in absolute comfort, the watch in its totality only weighs around 60 grams (on rubber bracelet).
The passage from 18K rose gold, used for all the F.P. Journe movements, to aluminium was not without difficulty, for obvious technical reasons. F.P. Journe took his research to a higher level in an aesthetical quest to complete the appropriate contrast in colour.
Rubber inserts are fixed with an outstanding process to the tips of each link of the Aluminium bracelet, the sides of the case and the Titanium crown in order to efficiently protect the watch from any shocks, just like the bumper of an ancient automobile. The crown and the folding clasp, both in Titanium and engraved with the F.P. Journe signature, are covered with a rubber coating. In addition, the folding clasp offers an adjustment system of a half link size (4mm approx.).

Technical description
Watches with long power reserves have hitherto been handicapped by small balances which are susceptible to shocks and disturbances. The Octa's compact construction allows a large (10.1 mm) balance to be fitted, giving greater inertia and stability. The free-sprung chronometer balance is adjusted by five turning weights that vibrate at a steady 21'600 times an hour.
Fully wound, the Octa delivers chronometric precision for 120 hours. The meter-long mainspring supplies an average 850gr of torque, limiting the loss in balance amplitude to 25% over the five-day period. Beyond that time, the watch will continue to go for another day or two, but the amplitude-loss no longer guarantees precision timekeeping.
