Journe guarantee card dated April 16th 2020, USB key, fitted presentation box, and outer box In 2011, Journe released his Octa Sport line made in ultra-light aluminum, which was inspired by an important collector of the brand - a sportsman who sought a timepiece he could wear while completing a marathon or triathlon. Journe once again excited the watch world with his introduction of the next generation Octa Sport Automatique Réserve 2 in 2018 with three models: platinum with blue-mauve dial, 18K 6N gold with Ruthenium dial, and Grade 5 titanium with either anthracite or yellow dial, like the present example.
Sporting a racing yellow dial, the Octa Sport Automatique Réserve 2 is a lightweight mechanical marvel, weighing under 75 grams including the bracelet. Featuring a 44mm diameter case made in titanium with matching bracelet, it is 2mm larger than its predecessor, with the addition of a ceramic bezel insert. The dial features a power reserve at 10 o’clock, a bean-shaped aperture indicating day and night with a new gradient touch, an upsized date window with larger typography, and bolder hour markers with a modern black outline. Designed for optimal legibility, the timepiece is fitted with Journe’s in-house cal. 1300.3. Made of aluminum with an off-center winding rotor in titanium with tungsten barrel, it provides an impressive six-day power reserve.
Complete with its original accessories, and preserved in excellent overall condition, the present Octa Sport is a lighthearted yet technically impressive take on the modern luxury sports watch.
