Produced between 2001 and 2005, the Octa Reserve de Marche carries significant value for F.P. Journe, being not only the first automatic wristwatch made by the independent watchmaker, but also the world's first automatic wristwatch to reach a power reserve of over 120 hours. The automatic calibre 1300 took F.P. Journe three years of active research and development, and is produced in rhodium-plated brass. Between 1999 to 2004, F.P. Journe produced their watch movements in brass, before switching to pink gold. It is believed that there are only approximately 2000 across all models found to feature brass movement, making these early models highly sought after by watch collectors. The dial side of the watch is also equally impressive, offering a layout of asymmetrical beauty with the power reserve, big date and off centred hours and minutes, and has furthermore aged to develop an attractive patina. Truly a collector's timepiece, the present Octa Reserve de Marche is a beautiful dress watch for important occasions.
