Description

Behind the Octa collection’s idea was to give the highest possible degree of precision and autonomy on a wristwatch.
Three years of research and development were necessary to invent the rose gold Caliber 1300, an automatic movement with an astonishing 120 hour power reserve.

The round case is 40mm in diameter and 10.6mm high.  A transparent case back allows to admire the stunning movement finish.

This timepiece has a round case of 40mm in rose gold surrounding a stunning salmon dial. An off-centered dial is located on the right side and indicates the hours & minutes with blue hands and indexes while the second time-zone is in gold with the small second counter at 6 o’clock.

The dual time works very simply, just choose the geographic area you are on the globe located at 8 o’clock! Genius!

Right above, the amazing 120-hours power-reserve retrograde indicator is displayed. Next to it, the date window is visible. An automatic movement makes all this possible and is beating underneath this dial.
