This 2024 F.P. Journe Octa Automatique Reserve, reference AR, is a 38 mm platinum watch with a matching platinum bezel, a grey dial, and Arabic numerals. Hours and minutes sit off-center with a small-seconds subdial, a large date at 12, and a power-reserve scale that reads to 120 hours. Blued-steel hands stay clear on the grey face.
The movement is the in-house automatic Calibre 1300.3. After a full wind it runs for about five days, so you can take it off for a weekend and it will still be running when you put it back on. A black alligator leather strap completes the watch. The 38 mm case stays compact on the wrist and keeps the date and reserve easy to read. Platinum adds weight and a cool white finish for daily wear. This F.P Journe watch ships with the original box and papers.
